The Visualization tool will use data from project submissions of the GEF IW Tracking Tool to show basin level trends WHAT IS NEEDED FROM PROJECTS? with embedded geoinformation) Shape files (if possible in EPSG:4326 projection) IW Geonode Geonode is a customizable mapping tool which allows the user to browse and share geospatial data, and to explore maps from existing content or upload and create maps from new content.

GEF IW Portfolio Visualization Tool

The tool is a global map on which the viewer can overlay selected layers to display the impacts and interventions of the GEF IW portfolio. The Portfolio Visualization Tool is able to show portfolio level impacts and project locations. In time, it will also show selected important basin trends in the impacts the projects interventions are having on them.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The portfolio visualization uses a choice of Open Source geo-mapping tools (select by clicking the “+”) to show where the GEF IW projects are located. The user can select the desired layers (such as ecosystem type, GEF Agency, Project Status, with/without project) from the display panel on the right side of the map to present on the global map. When a user clicks on a pin or boundary, either a list of project titles or a project title with a description of the project will be displayed onscreen. The complete project title and a description with a link to in-depth details will also be displayed just below the map on the same page.

WHAT DATA IS USED?

Data for the tool is derived from Project Websites. The map is provided by a choice of open source tools. The Visualization tool will use data from project submissions of the GEF IW Tracking Tool to show basin level trends

WHAT IS NEEDED FROM PROJECTS?

To ensure that the information (reports, publications, results notes photos, etc.) is accurate and present.
Geographic information detailing the PCU location, project demonstration sites, and hotspots in the following formats
- If in CSV format, the coordinates should be encoded as Well-known text (WKT) for Points, Linestrings, Polygons, MultiPoints, MultiLinestrings, MultiPolygons
- Images should be in GeoTIFF format (i.e. with embedded geoinformation)
- Shape files (if possible in EPSG:4326 projection)

IW Geonode

Geonode is a customizable mapping tool which allows the user to browse and share geospatial data, and to explore maps from existing content or upload and create maps from new content. Through this tool, GEF IW projects and partner organizations can host and share geodata and maps online through the IW:LEARN server, and generate custom maps for embedding in their own website.

HOW DOES IT WORK?

The user can Geonode allows the user to upload, manage, visualize and export public data into reusable formats. Under the maps heading, you can create a map using the cartography tool, or explore maps shared by others. Under the data heading, you can upload data, as well as search and manage existing data.

WHAT DATA IS USED?

The data and maps have been pulled together with the help of GEF IW projects, partner organizations and other authoritative sources. Accepted data formats include are either Shapefile or GeoTIFF.

WHAT IS NEEDED FROM PROJECTS?

To upload any relevant data and maps to be included in the Geonode tool.
