Mr. Joshua Setipa, UN Technology Bank s Managing Director at the workshop on enhancing geospatial technologies for the disaster management in Mozambique.
The United Nations Technology Bank for the Least Developed Countries and the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) – UNOSAT convened a workshop in Mozambique to enhance the capacity of expert and policymakers on the interpretation and utilisation of geospatial technologies.
The workshop aimed to demystify geospatial technologies and raising awareness of the vital role of supporting Mozambique’s development efforts. It was a part of a pilot programme, which was earlier also organized in Uganda and The Gambia and provided participants with the skills and knowledge to leverage geospatial technologies for improved disaster risk reduction management, climate change, and natural resources management.
