ESA GDA Comms.

Data-driven stories bring global development into focus. 

The ESA GDA Comms Project is a comprehensive initiative aimed at enhancing the communication and visibility of the European Space Agency's Global Development Assistance (GDA) program. This project focuses on showcasing the impact of Earth Observation (EO) data on global development through various innovative platforms and tools designed to communicate the program's success stories, foster collaboration, and drive sustainable development.

Engaging audiences through data-driven design.

Adoption of EO for development.

Earth observation data can drive informed decisions that foster global development and create a better society.

Global impact acceleration.

By expanding the adoption of EO data, the GDA program accelerates change in developing countries, transforming how development challenges are addressed.

From data to stories.

The Impact Sphere transforms complex EO data into engaging narratives, effectively communicating the GDA program's successes and impact to a global audience.

Creating the Impact Sphere and beyond.

The brief.

The ESA GDA Comms Project elevates the GDA program by creating a suite of tools that go beyond traditional communication. This includes the development of the Impact Sphere platform, the Impact Newsroom for audiovisual content, and robust collaboration and multimedia storage solutions. Together, these tools enable stakeholders to effectively harness EO data, driving targeted, impactful solutions that foster sustainable development and resilience across the globe.

Our role.

In collaboration with Evenflow and GOPA, Vizzuality contributed to the ESA GDA Comms project by developing key communication tools. Our work included creating the Impact Sphere, an interactive platform that transforms EO data into engaging narratives, and the Impact Newsroom, designed for sharing audiovisual content. We also helped establish collaboration and multimedia storage solutions to ensure seamless data access and sharing. These efforts enhanced the communication and visibility of the GDA program’s contributions to global development.

Delivered with impact.

Bringing data stories to life in global development.

In this collaborative endeavor, we immersed ourselves in the complexities of Earth Observation data to create tools that communicate its true impact. The Impact Sphere was born from this effort, offering an interactive platform where users can explore and connect with the stories behind the data. We’re proud to have contributed to making the Global Development Assistance program’s achievements more accessible, engaging, and impactful for audiences worldwide.

Enhancing global communication for sustainable development:

  • The Impact Sphere turns EO data into engaging, interactive stories.
  • Real-world impact stories demonstrate the data’s practical applications.
  • Graphical tools and the Impact Newsroom simplify data sharing and decision-making.
  • Collaboration tools ensure seamless data access and sharing.
