Quote of the Week
“Only 45 percent of street addresses and the continent’s populated areas are mapped. This presents a problem when it comes to developing GIS.”
Derek Clarke, chief director of the surveying and mapping unit at South Africa’s ministry of land affairs, quoted in an article in IPS News reviewing the challenges for GIS in Africa after this week’s Map Africa meeting in that country. Perhaps there’ll more discussion of the matter at the FOSS4G and GISSA events are held together, in Cape Town in September.
