Democratic Republic of the Congo
Context and issues
Civil servants in charge of regulating the mining sector in Central African countries are confronted to many challenges which are difficult to monitor pollution, illegal artisanal mining and frauds. Being capable of analyzing satellite images with a GIS software can help them with their surveillance and regulatory tasks.
Solution
Masae designed and facilitated in-person a hands-on training that included:
The use of QGIS and useful data for mining monitoring
Remote sensing and its application to environment / pollution monitoring in a mining context
Geology data analysis and processing in QGIS
