Data Collection and Sharing: AFWEN can facilitate the collection of satellite and terrestrial data relevant to flood and wetland monitoring. This data can be shared with stakeholders for in-depth analysis and informed decision-making.

Capacity Building: The network can organise workshops, training courses and seminars to build the skills of local experts and stakeholders in the use of Earth observation technologies.

Research and Innovation: Encourage and support innovative research projects that exploit Earth observation technologies to improve the understanding and management of floods and wetlands in Africa.

Interdisciplinary Collaboration: Promote an interdisciplinary approach by involving experts from different fields (hydrology, climatology, ecology, geography, etc.) for a holistic understanding of the problems associated with floods and wetlands.

Practical Applications: Developing practical applications and services that meet the needs of decision-makers, resource managers and local communities, such as flood early warning systems and sustainable wetland management tools.

Strategic Partnerships: Establishing partnerships with regional and international organisations, governments, NGOs and research institutions to maximise the impact of projects and ensure better coordination of efforts.

Awareness and Advocacy: Conduct awareness campaigns to inform stakeholders and the general public about the importance of flood and wetland monitoring and the benefits of Earth observation technologies.
