Possibilities for Technology Transfer
1. AFREF - present initiatives by IAG, - N
orth African initiatives (models EUREF, SIRG
AS) 2. Land Management - role of governmen
t (NSDI) (top down) - community involveme
nt (bottom up)

Possibilities for Technology Transfer
3. Educational Network (awareness)
- Universities and Regional Centers

Conclusion
Low Cost Technology is needed for Africa
- orthophoto mapping - on screen digitizing o
nly in exceptional cases - use of P/Cs as mu
ch as possible - GPS permanent recording station
s every 500 km with post processing - worksho
ps for this technology
