### Alignment of the Survey of Needs with the Workshop's Curriculum and the Panel Discussions  
Based on an analysis of the survey of needs and capabilities, the results for Ecuador are displayed in Figure 6. This illustrates the varying interests across different specialty groups of stakeholders, which, in most cases, corresponded to the categories of survey questions. Within agriculture, the respondents showed slightly more interest in the management of irrigation (51.6%) and monitoring crops (48.4%). However, despite some interest in crops' resilience (46.7%), this was addressed in the practical exercises of the C3S session and was not the primary focus. Climatology and hydrology specialists predominantly focused on weather alerts (100%) and early disaster alerts (87.5%), primarily emphasized during demonstrations of GloFas in the sessions on CEMS early warnings.  
Specialists in environmental sciences showed interest in the quality of air and water (71.4%) and almost equal interest in all topics related to risks (over 66%). Air quality topics were specifically addressed in the practical exercise on CAMS, while risk-related topics were explored during the CEMS sessions. Geography professionals primarily focused on mapping disasters (77.8%) and early disaster alerts (66.7%), showing significant interest in processing Sentinel data, particularly access to API data (77.8%) and automation (72.2%). Similarly, specialists in technology and informatics also emphasized these areas but added reporting statistics (87.5%). CEMS sessions, as well as demonstrations of accessing API data coupled with data automation and statistics exercises using R and Python, aligned well with these interests. Lastly, risk management specialists not only showed interest in general risk-related applications but also emphasized specialized topics such as fire alerts and monitoring droughts and floods, each with 75% showing interest. All these topics were addressed in the CEMS sessions.  
Regarding Bolivia, the results of the survey on needs and capabilities are shown in Figure 7.  
Similarly, the stakeholders' specialty groups aligned with the categories of survey questions, although risk managers and technology and informatics specialists were absent, and a new category on security was added.  
With fewer respondents in some specialties, the interests appeared more dispersed. Agriculture specialists uniformly showed high interest (100%) in all agricultural applications discussed during the session on the Production pillar but with less emphasis on processing Sentinel data, which also interested this group. Climatology and hydrology specialists focused on weather-related risks and were uniformly interested (100%) in weather alerts, monitoring droughs and floods, and risk-related applications, which were covered in both sessions on the Environmental and Production pillars, potentially missing attendees who were not present at both sessions. Specialists in environmental sciences all showed interest (100%) in forest cartography and the impact of the climate on biodiversity, with substantial interest (75%) in other topics on risk and Sentinel processing data, suggesting that the Environmental pillar alone may not have fully attracted their interest. Geography professionals strongly focused on forest cartography (71%) and were also interested in

the quality of air and water and accessing API (both 57.1%), which were discussed in the sessions on the Environmental and Strategic pillars, though access to API was mentioned without a detailed discussion. Finally, the security specialty notably focused on surveillance detection, identifying illicit crops, and monitoring illegal crops, each achieving interest above 50%, which were discussed in the session on the Security pillar. Additionally, there was interest in forest cartography and land use change (both 50%), which were topics discussed only in the session on the Environmental pillar.
