Joint AAP-ICTP Activity on Special Training for UNDP African Adaptation Programme on building and using data servers for adaptation studies

Description

The overall objective of the proposed workshop is to enhance capacity of team from AAP  member countries to undertake the setup of climate data server and associated software services in order to properly handling climate data.
. The specific objectives will be to: -
i.	Train participant in installing and managing computational data servers. This is include hardware RAID configuration Operating System installation, backup/restore procedures alerts/alarms configurations 
ii.	Train participants in using and installing and configuring appropriate software for climate data management
