du Bénin), et assistant de recherche au Laboratoire des Sciences Forestières (LSF/FSA) dirigé par Professeur Jean Cossi GANGLO.

mobilization to address health and food security priorities in Benin”. </span><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">Au nombre des activités que je dois mener dans ce projet, il y a la mobilisation et la publication des
données, la formation des partenaires à la mobilisation et la publication de données, la mise à jour de ces données et leurs utilisations pour atteindre les objectifs fixés par le projet. Je suis membre du Groupe Bleu sur place.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
<p class="MsoNormal" style="margin-top:10.0pt"><span style="font-size:10.0pt;font-family:"Arial","sans-serif";color:black">J’ai quelques expériences en mobilisation de données (avec au moins 25 mille données publiées sur le site du GBIF Bénin) que je souhaite
améliorer sérieusement au cours de cet atelier. J’ai aussi fait du chemin avec l’utilisation de ces données pour la modélisation des niches écologiques des espèces et mes premiers manuscrits seront finalisés et publiés bientôt. Je pourrai partager l’une ou
l’autre de ces expériences au cours de cet atelier.</span><o:p></o:p></p>
