African Geo Information Network

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. »

African Urban Risk Analysis Network (AURAN)

African Urban Risk Analysis Network (AURAN)
http://www.proventionconsortium.org/?pageid=32&projectid=4

«AURAN is an initiative of leading universities and NGOs in urban areas across Africa that was developed with support from UNDP and ProVention. The project's main goal was to bring international focus to the reduction of disaster risks in urban areas of Africa through the establishment of an African Urban Risk Analysis Network (AURAN) and the implementation of example risk reduction programmes in selected sites in Africa.

Through the AURAN project, network members built a virtual African network to allow disaster risk reduction researchers and practitioners to access common resources and share knowledge and experience. The website www.riskreductionafrica.org now provides a platform for institutional networking and information sharing amongst African universities, NGOs and CBOs on the subject of urban risk reduction.
The AURAN project supported community-based action research, a unique risk accumulation analysis of urban areas, and a network of participating partners working on urban project initiatives in several African countries. In each location a local partnership of academic institutions, governmental and non governmental organisations identified city and neighbourhood strategies to address growing degrees of disaster risk and inform policymaking at broader national and international levels.»
