Ongoing work:
The Africa Regional Data Cube provides users in five
countries with an analysis platform for satellite imagery
to address key development challenges, including food
security, disaster risk management, coastal erosion and
urban expansion.
Through work with NASA and GPSDD, AWS cloud
credits have been provided to the countries involved
for three years to reduce the data storage, processing
and analysis burden.

Addressing the Demand
Countries have expressed a need for better access and capacity for applying Earth observation
data to national priorities, in relation to national development objectives, 2030 Agenda and Agenda
2063.
Digital Earth Africa will provide an operational data infrastructure deployable in the cloud or locally
that gives the government control over its management. The project will support a multi-stakeholder
and data ecosystem approach.
