African Geo Information Network
«The rationale for the development of the African Geo Information Research Network (AGIRN) is to address one of the key concerns of the geo-information community of Africa. Over the past decades there have been many projects, research studies and paper presentations by African experts at conferences and meetings. Very few of these studies and papers became accessible to the broader geo-information community. The Human Sciences Research Council's (HSRC) Geographic Information Systems (GIS) Centre and EIS-AFRICA have decided that it is imperative to develop a geo-information research portal that will ensure the establishment of a forum for a vigorous engagement by African researchers. The development of AGIRN will provide the geo-information research community a mechanism to publish and access high quality work, to share in geo-information knowledge and to engage in discussion through a widely accessible web based medium.
This portal aims not only to serve the geo-information practitioners across the continent but also the many decision makers and planners in Africa. »
