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.
