The high level challenges solved by TIGER-NET were fulfilled through the concrete achievements of the following:

• Collecting and analysing user requirements in terms of geo-information products to enhance current Water Information Systems and improve existing practices in IWRM;
• Developing and validating a portfolio of EO information products and services to cover the information needs of the African water sector;
• Developing and validating advanced earth observation applications and integrating them within national or regional Water Information Systems (existing or under development);
• Developing the basic infrastructure needed for the integration and use of these applications;
• Transferring the technology and know-how to the local teams in the selected countries/regions;
• Providing the necessary training to operate and employ the WOIS for current and future IWRM requirements;
• Building the basis for an extension, i.e. improved capacity of the WOIS and roll-out to other countries and regions in Africa.
• Supporting the users and stakeholders to reach sustainability by attracting external funding opportunities

In general, the TIGER NET project was running in two cycles (18 months each) during which a number of parallel User Cases was implemented following each a generic work plan and reaching the targets of the TIGER NET project.
