Welcome!

Who we are

Welcome to IFAD’s community of practice for geospatial applications. Our main activities are:

  • Community building: Bringing people working on geospatial applications in IFAD-funded projects together to optimize resources, communication flow and outputs; 
  • Knowledge sharing: Capturing experiences on using GIS and Earth observation in IFAD-funded operations, and sharing new studies, blog posts, newly-released geospatial tools and datasets, interesting training courses and online webinars.

Our goal

We aim to enhance IFAD’s operations and impact through systematic integration of geospatial tools, methods and data analytics. 

Who can join

All IFAD staff and consultants, project staff in IFAD-funded projects, as well as partners in the private sector and in research are welcome to join this community. You should:
