Written by a select group of African academics, policy makers, researchers, and experts from various social and economic science disciplines, African E-Markets provides provocative insights and case studies on the role information plays in African development. Up-to-date research and analysis on the impact of various forms of information on the development process is presented, including e-economic development and its impact on economic growth. Calling for greater attention to be paid to information as a key sector in national economic development, this exploration of African economics cites the advantages of better statistical data and geographic information for more effective economic planning, management, and forecasting in the digital age.

Waxaa jira walaac kordhaya oo ku aadan xaaful saabtay beer- iyo beyado dabiiciyeed. Arrintan, daraasado isticmaal dhul ayaa noqonaya aasaaska falanqaynta sababaha horseedaya xaaluf wax soo saarka geyi beer iyo beyad, ama sii xumaanshaha beyad dabiiciyeed. Daraasadaan waxay isu keeneysaa farsamooyinka baarista cilmiyeysan ee GIS iyo jeedaalin dareeme fog sida qalab wax lagu khariidadeeyo, ay la socto soo indha-indheyn dhul oo ay ku jirto wareysiyo yara-qaabaysan oo goob walba u gaar ah oo lala yeesho dad maxalli ah oo yaqaan deegaanka iyo xiriir lala sameeyo hay'ado maxalli ah.

L-05 Soil survey of a selected study area in Somaliland
Since the start of the war in 1991, no soil surveys have been undertaken and available soil data produced by SOGREAH has been lost, including maps showing spatial variability of soils.In view of the foregoing, and considering future planning activities in Somalia, there is a need to generate baseline data that provides an accurate reflection of the current status of natural resources. SWALIM conducted a soil survey using a combination of modern and conventional approaches (to overcome the various constraints within the study area) to map spatial variability of soils as a primary input to land suitability and land degradation assessment ,oriented towards a variety of users.

Natures Benefits in Kenya An Atlas of Ecosystems and Human Well-Being
Natureandrsquos Benefits in Kenya is an Atlas of Ecosystems and Human Well-Being represents a step forward in the analysis of poverty in Kenya and its relation to the natural environment. It is the result of a partnership of national and international organizations, some of which were involved in preparing the first high-resolution poverty maps of Kenya. This publication springs from an effort among these partners to overlay the newly created poverty maps with environmental resource maps based on surveys and remote sensing data. The intent is to show the location and status of key environmental resources that are likely to have significant links with poverty. In creating this report, we worked with several purposes and audiences in mind.

L-04 land use characterisation of a selected study area in Somaliland
There is a growing concern over the degradation of natural and agro-ecosystems.In this case, land use studies form the basis for analysis of the causes leading to degradation of agro-ecosystem outputs, or deterioration of a natural ecosystem.This study combines the scientific research techniques of GIS and remote sensing as mapping tools, accompanied by ground observations involving site-specific semi structured interviews with local people familiar with the area and contact with local organizations.
The information generated can be used to assist in making wise choices about land use, determining where best to locate new settlements, cropping, drainage, irrigation, where and when to apply new technologies, to explain spatial and temporal variations in output, and to respond to many other questions about management, use and conservation of the natural
environment
