[SDI-Africa] Free seminar - Assessing Degradation of Rangeland Conditions, Nairobi, 23 March 2007

[Kate Lance]

Note below the upcoming free seminar in Nairobi, the first in a planned series of seminars to be organized by SCGIS-Kenya.  
 
Last year, Makerere University (Uganda) similarly began a seminar series, as a follow up to the Ugandan national SDI workshop, held in June 2006 (see SDI-Africa, Vol. 5, No. 7, July 2006).  Faculty from the Geography Department organized a three month calendar of geospatial talks to strengthen interaction between agencies (see SDI-Africa, Vol 5, No. 11, November 2006).  
 
I wonder if there are intiatives in other countries to organize such seminar series.  Seminar series potentially are a low-cost mechanism to share technical experience and 'build bridges' that ultimately support inter-agency collaboration....
