New 1/200,000 Scale Baseline Mapping For Mali: The End-Of-Project Seminar Will Be Held On 29th September 2016

The European Union called on IGN FI in October 2012 for a project to rework Mali’s 1/200,000 scale national topographic map, create derived projects and services and modernize the Geographic Institute of Mali (IGM). This project was financed by means of the 10th EDF (European Development Funds) and had a dual objective:

• Creating a national reference database to be used as a basis for producing the country’s new 1/200,000 scale topographic map as well as a complete set of derived products and services,
• Guaranteeing the transfer of a complete range of skills to personnel thanks to support from the Technical Assistance provided.

This reference system shall constitute the foundation for production work on thematic data by the various institutions in Mali.

After four years’ work, this project to rework Mali’s 1/200,000 scale maps officially comes to a close at the end of September 2016. An end-of-project seminar will be held on 29th September 2016 at the Azalaï Salam de Bamako hotel.[…]
