Abstract

An assessment of the Ethiopian Mapping Authority (EMA) and Modern Cartographic Canter of the Survey of India concerning of the remote sensing training programs are presented. The training programs covered a wider spectrum of the theory of remote sensing technology, methodology and digital image processing as well as practical experience on the ERDAS and System 600 Model 75 of the International Imaging Systems. The program has yielded significant results. The training programs, a component parts of the UNDP projects, have been attempted also to integrate the need and close co-operation of the user community.
