Top Scientists from across the world are set to put their heads together in Nairobi next week to find solutions to challenges facing the earth through the use of earth observation technologies. Regional Centre for Mapping of Resources for Development Director General Dr Emmanuel Nkurunziza told journalists that over 1,000 delegates are expected.
“The conference provides an excellent platform for how geoscience can effectively be used to inform policy. Over the last six years, our conference has hosted over 4,000 delegates from Ministers, Principal Secretaries, Government Officials, Scientists, Development Partners, Researchers, Academic and Media groups,” Nkurunziza said. Land Management, Policy and Development, Innovations and Data, agriculture and food security and biodiversity Conservation and Blue Economy will be discussed during the conference.
