In brief: Available APRIORA tutorials for capacity building

Also the most intuitive tools and logic contents need some support to transfer it in well-digestible units for the so-called capacity building of our target groups. Usually, these groups have different levels of background knowledge that need to be addressed accordingly. By providing these tools through a well-structured navigation system, all stakeholders—regardless of their initial level of knowledge—can easily access the information they need. 

What APRIORA is providing to Target Groups: Videos available here

In APRIORA, various tools for capacity building were developed and adapted to feedback from our involved target groups during piloting. The core of these tools is a flowchart that guides through the Risk Assessment Framework.

APRIORA overview scheme and frontpage of flowchart

From the overview scheme, not only the extensive background document and the step-by-step QGIS tool manual can be accessed, but also these helpful instructional videos for each sub-chapter (green link-boxes bottom-left). By clicking on topics based on the general approach topics in the flowchart outline, users can explore deeper levels of the flowchart with detailed information. Based on the sub-chapters of the three core modules in APRIORA, the flowchart and the videos follow this structured outline.
