๐Ÿ“RCMRD in Namibia
RCMRD is holding its 14th Conference of Ministers and 60th Governing Council Meeting (GC) in Swakopmund, Namibia, from 8โ€“17 November 2026.
Today, the Governing Council (GC), RCMRDโ€™s second-highest decision-making organ, comprising Principal and Permanent Secretaries from the focal ministries of our 20 member States, convened for its meeting.

The meeting was officially opened by Hon. Albertina Nkoshi, Walvis Bay Urban Constituency Councillor. A key highlight was the handover of the GC chairmanship from Zambia to Namibia, which will hold the position for the next two years.

The meetings provide an important platform for strengthening regional cooperation, reviewing institutional progress and setting strategic priorities to enhance RCMRD's service delivery to its Member States.

๐Ÿ“RCMRD in Tunisia
Satellite is only as useful as the ground beneath it. ๐ŸŒ

At the Africa #GNSS Lab's working session in Tunis this week, held alongside #SpaceStar'26, the conversation keep returning to one question: as Africa's space and digital economies grow, who builds and maintains the positioning infrastructure underneath them?

It's a continental question, not a national one. GNSS, geodesy and reliable positioning are the invisible layer behind precision agriculture, disaster response, land administration and every map Africa will need in the decades ahead. We've spent over fifty years implementing projects and training the people who keep that layer working, helping shape where that work goes next.

NAMIBIA HOSTS REGIONAL GEOSPATIAL LEADERS FOR KEY RCMRD MEETINGS | Namibia is hosting the 60th Technical Committee and Governing Council meetings of the Regional Centre for Mapping of Resources for Development (RCMRD), bringing together Surveyors-General from 20 member states to deliberate on regional cooperation, geospatial development and the sustainable management of land and natural resources.

The meetings, hosted by the Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Water and Land Reform at the Sea Side Hotel in Swakopmund, are taking place from 8 to 11 November 2026 for the Technical Committee meeting, followed by the 60th Governing Council meeting from 12 to 13 November 2026.

On 9 November 2026, Botswana officially handed over the chairmanship to Namibia, which will also host the 14th Conference of Ministers from 16 to 17 November 2026. Namibia last hosted the RCMRD Conference of Ministers in 2002.

The Technical Committee meeting provides a platform for Surveyors-General from the 20 member states to discuss developments and challenges affecting the land and natural resources sectors across East and Southern Africa. The meeting will also assess RCMRDโ€™s performance over the past year, consider and approve its work plan for the coming year, and identify opportunities for enhanced collaboration between member states and the Centre.

Speaking on the importance of embracing innovation in the sector, Namibiaโ€™s Surveyor-General, Ndilipunye Valdo Shanyengana, emphasised the need to leverage emerging technologies to strengthen geospatial information systems and improve their responsiveness to the continentโ€™s development needs.

โ€œWe need to embrace emerging technologies, including Artificial Intelligence, to ensure our mapping resources are dynamic, responsive, and capable of addressing Africaโ€™s ever-increasing challenges,โ€ said Shanyengana.
Reliable geospatial information plays a critical role in national and regional development, informing decisions on infrastructure development, land registration, census planning and the sustainable management of natural resources.

Through the RCMRD engagements, member states are expected to strengthen regional partnerships and advance the use of geospatial technologies in addressing shared development priorities across Africa.

โ€˜POISONED CHALICEโ€™

โ€˜Mathengeโ€™ weed was introduced in ASALs in the 1980s

The aim was to rehabilitate the land under harsh climate

Also known as Neltuma, it is now a real thorn in the flesh

It has drained water sources for both humans and livestock
