Spatial data resources for Africa

The latest Spatial Data Infrastructure - Africa Newsletter is, as usual, full of useful information related to GIS projects and tools in Africa. The October 2007 issue tells us about the Conservation Resource Centre wiki site based in Arusha, Tanzania -- a collaboratively edited compilation of news, images, job and training announcements and links about conservation issues in East Africa, alerts us to the Global Biodiversity Information Facility's web site and practical georeferencing guides, and reminds us of the upcoming GIS Day 2007. You can read the newsletter online or download it from the GSDI Association web site.
