All is set for the AfricaGIS 2017 Conference, which is being organized jointly by the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) and EIS-AFRICA in collaboration with the Ethiopian Mapping Agency to discuss geospatial and statistical issues on the continent. ECA’s Director of the African Centre for Statistics (ACS), Mr. Oliver Chinganya, says AfricaGIS 2017, which runs from 20 to 24 November, will set the agenda for geospatial information and statistics as critical tools in Africa’s transformative processes. We are excited and ready now that conference is almost here. Monday we begin to deliberate on geo-information and how it has made an impact on people’s lives, particularly through support to local development efforts, and how such applications could be scaled up towards transforming the continent into the Africa we want,” said Mr. Chinganya.
