University jaume I (UJI) and University of Bahir Dar (BDU) are involved in a cooperation project
sponsored by “Agencia Española de Cooperación al Desarrollo” (AECID). The project called
"Strengthening the research center and community service on disaster risk management to improve
food security and agricultural productivity in the Amhara Regional State (Ethiopia)". One of the
activities of this project was GIS capacity building for the Disaster Risk Management Department at
BDU. The BDU Disaster Risk Management Department is working on identifying vulnerabilities
that have an influence in food insecurity. In order to achieve the goals of this research a GIS
capacity building is a key factor. GvSIG was chosen as the tool for GIS capacity building within the
scope of Disaster Risk Management. This article explains our experiences in International
Cooperation for GIS capacity building. [-]
