The title of the course was PC based GIS Information System, which was appropriate at that time due to very limited awareness of these new technologies. JAXA supported capacity building and information sharing in the region was carried out in number of initiatives since 1995, namely, Structured Training Programs, Caravan Training Programs, Mini-Projects, and Workshops. Structured training programs were carried out at GIC inviting participants from the region who are working in national agencies. Structured courses were conducted for two weeks at GIC with full sponsorship of JAXA. This activity was continued until year 2003 satisfactorily training more than 400 people. During training at AIT, participants were benefited with access to the library of the institute and opportunities to meet faculty members of AIT to further exchange information and develop future collaborative opportunities. Another type of training program that is conducting by GIC for JAXA sponsorship is referred to as Caravan Training. These programs are being conducted locally with the collaboration of local agencies. It is expected that this program could offer opportunities to a larger audience to increase awareness in remote sensing, GIS and GPS by conducting locally. Generally, the duration is five days targeting a topic that is relevant to the country concerned. Since 1997, after two years of first structured training program, Caravan type training programs were started and the first training program was conducted in Philippines. Since then seventeen Caravan training programs were conducted in ten countries. more
