The TIGER Capacity Building Facility (TCBF) has been established to support 20 African institutions to carry out their TIGER research projects on Earth Observation applications for water management. After a successful first phase, the TIGER initiative was endorsed by AMCOW for its second phase (2009 - 2011). The TCBF is carried out by a consortium consisting of ITC (lead), TUDelft, ISEGI-UNL and VITO. Furthermore three African regional institutions are involved: RCMRD, AGRHYMET and WRC.
