IntroductionGeographic information systems are used in infrastructure
management, project beneficiary mapping, service facilities mapping,
land use planning, market analysis, impact analysis and utilities
management.
Geographical information Systems have become an essential tool for
planning, resource management and decision making. The ability of GIS
to store, retrieve, analyze model and map spatial data has enhanced
its application.
This course aims at equipping the learners with knowledge to use GIS
tools to visualize real world features, explore spatial data and
analyze maps to communicate information and make decisions.
Who Should Attend?
This training is designed for participants who want to apply GIS in
the work to share information and make decisions.
