Title:	FreeStation Training Materials, 2016
Keywords:	WEATHER TRAINING TEMPERATURE SOLAR RADIATION 2021
Description:	The FreeStation initiative uses open source hardware, open source software and open source 3-D printing technology to build and deploy reliable environmental data loggers with the lowest cost and easiest DIY build possible. These are designed to make reliable, detailed and local environmental data more accessible in areas that may have little local financial and technical capacity for the collection of such data. A variety of stations and sensors are available. The FreeStation Nano includes one of soil moisture, rainfall, temperature and humidity or rainfall sensors. The FreeStation Micro includes for temperature, humidity, solar radiation and rainfall. The FreeStation Meso adds wind speed and wind direction. The FreeStation Macro adds wind driven rainfall, fog and/or soil moisture at 2 depths. This dataset contains a comprehensive collection of training materials on how to construct and use FreeStation Micro automatic weather station translated into French as part of the POP project, for use by local students and practitioners in Burkina Faso and other French-speaking countries. The training materials were translated into French from the English versions provided by the Freestation initiative and used in a workshop run as part of the POP project to train students and practitioners.<p>Effective community-based management of common pool resources (CPR) in contexts facing environmental degradation and social conflict is urgently required to sustainably move people worldwide towards a decent level of human well-being, as sought in the Sustainable Development Goals. In the seasonally dry tropics, water stored in reservoirs. co-managed by communities and state water management agencies, can transform the lives of people in areas of persistent poverty by providing dry season income and food security through fish, livestock and crop production. Yet the inequitable distribution of water and other agricultural resources leads to stark inequalities in costs and benefits of reservoirs among households and communities. This project will convene stakeholders around two reservoirs in Boulgou province, Burkina Faso, through 'Innovation Platforms' (IPs) that provide spaces for face-to-face learning, exchange and negotiation. Through the IPs, differentiated stakeholders with conflicts of interests related to reservoirs will identify, compare and implement community-driven innovations to make management of and access to land, water and associated benefits more equitable and sustainable. In collaboration with local communities and water management institutes, we will co- design and test locally relevant indicators and novel data collection techniques to establish a reliable, locally owned reservoir resource monitoring system. Students, extension workers and government technicians will be trained on automatic weather stations, mobile phone based surveys, and easily measured indicators of soil and water quality. The project will fill gaps in knowledge regarding factors and approaches that enable the resolution of conflicts related to the management of CPR and the development of participatory monitoring systems. Academic beneficiaries include scientists working on participatory approaches, conflict resolution, social equity, and CPR management.</p>
