IRLOGI Webinar: IRLOGI will be holding its February webinar on 14 February starting at 13:00 Irish time.
Dr Jaiteh will focus on what are key development challenges for Africa, what are constraints and opportunities related to meeting these challenges, and what are some practical steps which can be taken in meeting these challenges within the broadly defined geospatial field at the national, subnational and local levels. He will also provide some examples of how GI and GI technologies have shown real benefits in meeting some of the challenges and what role the global GI community can play to be of practical assistance.
