This is just the beginning.
We’re continuing to expand the database, verify new contacts, and grow it into a trusted public resource for the drone ecosystem worldwide.

[africanDRONE @africanDRONEORG]

🚨We’ve launched the africanDRONE World Drone Map, a new platform designed to make the global drone ecosystem easier to navigate.
Regulations, verified contacts, companies, resources, and news, all in one place.

The platform brings together:
• drone laws and regulations
• aviation authority contacts
• verified operators and fixers

💻 🚁 Drone and Sensor journalism in full display in Greece at @iMEdD_org!

We're showing how innovative tools and collaborations can power the future of public-interest journalism. Always in collab with Africa's largest civic tech nonprofit @Code4Africa

As we continue to grow and offer opportunities to our member pilots, we'd like to present our partnership with Open Planet - a royalty-free video library specializing in video for climate-related storytelling.

We strongly believe in fair and reasonable drone regulations to help empower Africans to use drones repsonsibly.

[Code for Africa @Code4Africa]

“Drones are a tool of democracy.”

But unclear, costly regulations are locking out African storytellers. @UnequalScenes, co-founder of @africanDRONE, makes the case for fairer drone laws, and why it matters for journalism, small business and civic tech.

This issue is on informal settlements like Makoko, where we mapped w/drones to provide basic information to the community.
