Regional geospatial skills training hub reclaims its niche and lustre
Former cabinet secretary of Environment, Climate Change and Forestry Soipan Tuya (centre) together with Director General of RCMRD Dr Emmanuel Nkurunziza and other officials during the official launch of The Regional Centre of Excellence (RCoE) for Biodiversity, Forests and Seascapes Ecosystems Management in Eastern and Southern Africa at Regional Centre for Mapping of Resources for Development (RCMRD) on March 24, 2024.
Established in 1975 as a non-profit intergovernmental organisation under auspices of the United Nations Economic Commission for Africa and the then Organisation of African Unity (now African Union), the Regional Centre at Kasarani enjoyed a dominant presence.
Founded to provide services in surveying and mapping to its member states in Eastern and Southern Africa, this Centre’s original name mutated to the current “Regional Centre for Mapping of Resources for Development (RCMRD)”.
