OUR MISSION
OUR MISSION
The GeoAI-Africa community is dedicated to uniting students, researchers, and practitioners focused on addressing Africa's unique geospatial and remote sensing challenges. Recognizing the gap in communities specifically targeting climate and sustainability issues—a pressing concern for Africa and the broader Global South—we draw inspiration from successful AI communities like Deep Learning Indaba and, notably, the Masakhane community. Our vision is for GeoAI-Africa to spearhead innovative research and practices in geospatial machine learning tailored to African scenarios. Crucially, our community is committed to forging collaborations with partners and stakeholders, ensuring swift, coordinated responses to African emergencies.
Our platform will provide online resources such as tutorials, datasets, tools, webinars, hackathons, and mentorship programs to help you develop your skills and/or apply them to real-world challenges.
Join our slack group to learn about the community.
If you are new to geospatial or looking for tutorials to strat please check out our resources page and Github for more details.
