Natural Rebirth
Sustainable development and protection of the natural heritage of the Goada Forest
The Unione Montana Valli Orco e Soana (TO) has set up a partnership with the Equiliberi Onlus association and the Computing Science Department of the University of Turin, in order to use FirstLife, previously adapted to Burkina Faso, for support its first decentralised cooperation project in Africa.
The Unione Montana Valli Orco e Soana (TO) has adopted FirstLife to map land use in the Goada Forest, in Burkina Faso, where it is taking action to defend protected land, enhancing the agro-forestry sector and promoting sustainable agriculture also outside protected areas.
The opportunities for direct interaction between Italian and Burkinabe municipalities will increase, as well as the quality of their exchanges, thanks to the use of FirstLife. They can directly share and apply best practices in public-private partnerships for the protection of the natural heritage of the Goada forest.

Maison du Citoyen WASH+
The association Equiliberi Onlus in Turin activated a collaboration with FirstLife to support an international cooperation project in the Democratic Republic of the Congo.
The objective is mapping and analysing data related social and health services for different kinds of public spaces as schools and hospitals, to evaluate if policies, interventions and projects over time guarantee the achievement or maintenance of the sanitary parameters defined by UNHCR (so called standard WASH). The project involves local institutions and organizations in different sectors.
Use-cases with FirstLife will start in the city of Lubumbashi to geocalize services and identify which standards they currently have. With Firstlife will possible manage different cases and variables based on the type of the project and thematic area.
In this way, it will be possible to easily collect and analyze data coming from questionnaires and surveys filled by the managers of the local structures, then assess whether or not the places have reached the standard reference parameters.
FirsLife could be a useful tool to support international cooperation in the design of life-cycle projects, from monitoring and evaluation of the impacts to the communication of the results to citizens.
