An African Minerals Development Centre-led (AMDC) initiative for strengthening African regional geoprocessing centers with a relational and spatial database will take place at the UN Conference Centre. The database is envisioned as a tool for managing geological and mineral information and implementing the African Mining Vision. African regional geoprocessing centers will have access to relational and spatial database; which allows geological and mineral information to be gathered, organized, standardized, and made available in a single geo-referenced environment in a digital format. This will lead to a sustainable process of exchange, update, analysis, and dissemination of geological and mineral information.
