Addressing Critical Gaps in Geospatial Collaboration
In 2022, Dev-Afrique, in partnership with the Gates Foundation, conducted Value Pipeline Assessments in Nigeria and the Democratic Republic of Congo. The results showed that over 50 organizations were doing valuable geospatial work, but they were all working in silos.
Overlapping funding due to limited ecosystem visibility
Difficulty identifying complementary skills and partners
Fragmented knowledge sharing across regions and sectors
