Did you know about our collaboration with the UNCT in Cabo Verde following severe storms last summer? See our exchange with @PatPortelaSouza highlighting how we supported the full disaster cycle from emergency response to recovery and long-term resilience: https://t.co/rAyNcic7Zn
We joined the Climate Displacement Workshop by ISPAE (Viet Nam) and SPP-CMU (Thailand) to present our work on mapping displacement risk using geospatial technologies. We also shared Thailand’s case on risk assessment and contributed to discussions on decision support systems.
Happy #WorldMaritimeDay! For years, UNOSAT has contributed to safer & sustainable ocean: from analysing maritime piracy and vessel detection to oil spill mapping. This week, we're sharing our experience with the Malaysian Maritime Enforcement Agency. Let's protect our ocean!

RCMRD Milestones: #RCMRDat50
📍 1982-Renamed to Regional Centre for Services in Surveying, Mapping and Remote Sensing (RCSSMRS) to reflect expanded focus including Remote Sensing.
🏢 By June 1985, the Centre moved to its permanent home in Kasarani, Nairobi.
📍 1983- Canada through International Development Research Centre (IDRC) supported cartography programmes and as a result of that a Department of Cartography was established-boosting capacity in mapping and spatial data.
📍 1984-🇫🇷 France (French Technical Assistance) backed the Remote Sensing Department.
🛰️ Enabled purchase of SPOT satellite imagery and training in satellite image interpretation.

Together with stakeholders in Lao PDR & Timor-Leste, we dove deep into the functionalities of the Risk & Vulnerability Mapping Dashboard, developed in partnership with @FAOAsiaPacific!
With their insights, we aim to make the tool more robust to support resilient agriculture.
Thanks to Norway for its long standing support to our Emergency Mapping Service. We reviewed its benefits for the UN agencies and impacts on people in need of humanitarian assistance and justice.@norad @NorwayMFA @UNITAR
We have successfully concluded our advanced GIT training on drought monitoring with @FMEnvng.
Looking forward to the future applications of GIS and remote sensing in Nigeria. 🌍🛰️
