The IGAD Climate Prediction and Applications Centre (ICPAC) and the Regional Centre for Mapping of Resources for Development (RCMRD), with support from the African Union Commission, will convene the GMES & Africa Eastern Africa Regional Workshop on 26–27 November 2025. The workshop will bring together regional institutions, academia, the private sector, and technical experts to showcase progress and strengthen collaboration in the use of Earth Observation (EO) for sustainable development and environmental management in Eastern Africa.

The workshop will highlight achievements under GMES & Africa Phase II, share use cases and best practices, explore policy linkages, and discuss priorities for improving EO products and services across the region.

Participants will engage through presentations, panel discussions, demonstrations, and knowledge-exchange sessions, with a focus on advancing EO-driven solutions that support climate resilience, natural resource management, and regional policy frameworks.
