Abstract

Current project experience in Africa points to spatial data as a key area for improvement across the continent. This paper focuses on practical implementation of spatial data governance on infrastructure projects in Africa, using examples from ongoing projects in Kenya and Malawi where challenges have been met and solutions found. The experience gained on these projects provides an insight into three key goals to make data work for projects: maximise value from the data available, preserve that value for future users, and identify data gaps both for work now and work in the future.

改善非洲基础设施空间数据的收集、管理和使用

非洲目前的项目经验表明，空间数据是整个非洲大陆需要改进的一个关键领域。本文重点介绍了非洲基础设施项目中空间数据治理的实际实施情况，并以肯尼亚和马拉维正在进行的项目为例，介绍了这些项目面临的挑战和找到的解决方案。在这些项目中获得的经验让我们了解了让数据为项目工作的三个关键目标:最大限度地利用可用数据，为未来的用户保留这些价值，以及确定当前和未来工作的数据差距。
