Digital Earth Africa recently hosted ESRI during one of the weekly virtual training and knowledge-sharing sessions that Digital Earth Africa presents each week. ESRI provided a practical demonstration on the session on how to use Digital Earth Africa's tools - via the Africa GeoPortal - to help monitor floods. Watch the video and read the summary here: https://lnkd.in/d3T9bi33 ESRI used the session as an opportunity to demonstrate how participants can freely access DE Africa’s continental products and services such as Water Observations from Space (WOfS) and other data through the ESRI's Africa GeoPortal. This approach not only diversifies user interfaces but also strengthen synergies between ESRI and DE Africa and the shared goal of supporting action towards meeting towards meeting the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) through open access to Earth Observation data. DE Africa hosts weekly live sessions every Wednesday at 11am GMT zero. This same session will be held in French on the 30th October, and Arabic on the 31st October.

MAP SCIENTIFIC SERVICES is a groundbreaking example of translating scientific expertise into tangible solutions for environmental challenges. Founded in 2017 by Dr Pieter-Olivier, Andrew Purdon, and Michael Mole from the University of Pretoria, MAPSS has evolved into a thriving enterprise that bridges the gap between research and implementation. Their mission is to equip conservation organizations with geospatial tools and earth observation data to protect and manage vast landscapes, particularly in under-resourced areas such as national parks. MAPSS's synergistic partnership with Digital Earth Africa, and Esri, an international supplier of GIS software, strengthens their capabilities in geospatial solutions. This collaboration is evident in MAPSS's work, which showcases the power of combining scientific knowledge with practical implementation.

Digital Earth Africa was referenced at the Cairo Water Week as an important tool to develop a strategy to conserve and manage Egypt's water resources. The platform was used to monitor the Egyptian coastline, and other models of crop yield, rainfall forecasting and the optimisation of the canal network were outlined by Dr. Hani Sweilem, Minister of Water Resources and Irrigation The population increase has resulted in the per capita share of water declining from 2000 cubic metres a year in the 1960s, to below the water poverty line - less than 10000 cubic meters per year - in the 1990s, reaching about 500 cubic meters per year at present, which prompted Egypt to develop the National Water Resources Plan for the year 2037.
