Africa Geospatial Data and Internet Conference (AGDIC) held in Accra
The event brought together stakeholders in discussions on policy issues relating to geospatial and open data, ICTs and Internet across the Africa.
Sustainable Management of Wetlands for strengthening food security and resilience of ecosystems in West Africa (GDZHAO). The Support Program for Monitoring of Environment and Security (GMES & Africa) is an initiative co-funded by the European Commission and the Commission of the African Union.
The CSE together with CERSGIS and 6 other institutions are carrying out program to specifically address African needs for water-related services, natural resources, marine and coastal areas and to provide solutions to environmental management, mitigation of climate change and to civil security and to develop and promote a portfolio of products and services based on the exploitation of EO data (in the fields of water, vegetation and soil) to improve the knowledge and decision making on wetlands west Africa in a sustainable management for food security and strengthening the resilience of communities and ecosystems.
Learn MoreOperating as a regional hub, SERVIR West Africa promotes collaboration among technical institutions in the region, leveraging their respective strengths. It also works across the region to increase awareness, and improve access to and the capacity to use geospatial information.
In this initial phase, the program focuses on four countries: Burkina Faso, Ghana, Niger and Senegal. The program works with decision-makers to provide user-tailored information services
Learn MoreWe have well structured training programs available on request to institutions interested in having their staff trained to acquire skills in GIS in Ghana and the West African sub-region.
This trainings provides knowledge in Basic, Intermediate and Advance GIS and Remote Sensing with intensive and practical sessions. Certificates are awarded at the end if the training. Training duration and other details are to be discussed with our capacity building specialist by contacting the centre
Learn MoreWe have a mobile and web application development unit with competences in developing cutting-edge GIS solutions.
We execute and supervise projects with GPS mapping of point features such as (Office locations, and service facilities etc) and mapping of line features (road and route mapping) and polygon features (farm mapping, property mapping)
We provide services such as acquisition or procurement of Optical and RADAR images for purchase for individuals and corporate use
We have a series of well structured training programs available on request to institutions interested in having their staff trained to acquire skills in GIS and Remote sensing in Ghana and the West African sub-region at large.
We have available a detailed map of Ghana updated with the latest regional boundaries of the new regions.
The United Nations University Institute for Natural Resources in Africa (UNU-INRA), in collaboration with the Center for Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Services (CERSGIS), is organizing a three-day course on the use of Earth Observation (EO) and how it can contribute to the attainment of the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The course is designed for students, staff of public institutions and private sector players.
Date: 12th – 14th November, 2019
Venue: UNU-INRA, 2nd Floor, International House, University of Ghana Campus
Course content
The course will have two modules:
Module 1: This module will provide participants with the theoretical background to EO systems, data and analysis procedures. Differences in orbital systems, data acquisition modes, data types, characteristics (e.g. resolution) and format will be addressed.
Module 2: This module will provide examples of practical application of EO data in agricultural management. It will draw on the experience participants would have acquired from module 1.

The Centre for Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Services started as a Remote Sensing Application Laboratory in 1990 at the Department of Geography and Resource Development, University of Ghana, Legon. The Remote Sensing Application Unit developed its staff capacity to provide contractual Remote Sensing and GIS services to its clients. In 2000, the status of the Remote Sensing Application Unit changed to Centre for Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Services (CERSGIS). The change of name meant change of strategic focus from a funded establishment to a self-sustaining Non-profit Organization that focused on providing geographic information and remote sensing services for sustainable development planning and management of resources..
