More WOCAT initiatives are welcome

The WOCAT network is open to all individuals and organisations with a mandate or an interest in SWC. Anyone can be associated with WOCAT and join the WOCAT network. The core of the network consists of specialists, programmes, projects, NGOs and the like that present their local experience with SWC at national or regional workshops and share their knowledge with others who use WOCAT questionnaires. Regional and national institutions organise training workshops, compile and administer the database, and produce and disseminate the outputs. Thus anyone can become a consortium member and represent a node in the global network.

The WOCAT knowledge base is a public domain, i.e. everyone is invited to share it and use it. Newcomers can always use the WOCAT database and WOCAT products to gain better understanding of SWC, make better decisions in the field, and enhance planning at the regional or national level. The feedback they provide to WOCAT to improve the database and the programme will be greatly appreciated. WOCAT network collaborators contribute a little but gain a lot!

Donors can play a role in the programme by supporting country, regional, continental or global activities, and also by attending the annual steering meeting of the WOCAT consortium.

Make better use of existing knowledge and resources for a better future. Join the global WOCAT initiative and set up your own programme within the WOCAT network.
