TS08B: FIG AFRICA CAPACITY DEVELOPMENT NETWORK - MEETING

Chair: Mr. Mohammed Mamman Kabir, Chair ARN, Nigeria


The International Federation of Surveyors-Africa Regional Network (FIG-ARN) is a Regional Capacity Development Network of the FIG that is saddled with the responsibility of developing the capacity of African surveyors. It works to raise the visibility and profile of its members and to articulate the interest of Africa within the overall vision and mission of FIG. In line with the theme of the 2023 Working Week, the FIG-ARN session will outline the critical roles African surveyors should play in protecting Africa and conquering new frontiers in the content. No doubt Africa needs protection the most. Africa, the second largest continent in the world with a population of more than 1.3 billion people remains most challenging, least mapped and least charted. The session will therefore unbundle opportunities offered in the FIG-ARN 2023-2026 Work plan in our collective drive towards Protecting Our World, Conquering New Frontiers.

Agenda:

• Opening and Self Introduction
• FIG-ARN Thematic Briefing
• Introduction of FIG-ARN Work Plan 2023-2026
• Deliberations and Observations
• General Matters Relevant to FIG-ARN
• Closing
