dc.description.abstract | This document outlines the coordination of activities related to geographical names in Africa, as prepared by Peter E. Raper, Chairman of the UN Group of Experts on Geographical Names (UNGEGN). Established under ECOSOC resolutions, UNGEGN aims to standardize geographical names at national and international levels, involving experts from approximately ninety member countries. The document discusses the establishment of working groups to address specific issues, the biennial UN Conferences on the Standardization of Geographical Names, and the geographical/linguistic divisions within UNGEGN, particularly focusing on Africa's four divisions. Additionally, it suggests documentation for distribution to support the standardization efforts. | en |
