🛰️We're strengthening disaster resilience in East Africa through space.🌍

Last week in Nairobi, our UN-SPIDER programme convened two back-to-back initiatives focused on turning satellite data into action.

From 16–17 February, the Regional Symposium on Space Technologies for Humanity explored how space can better support sustainable development and disaster risk reduction across Africa — from food security and water management to climate resilience and early warning systems.

🛰️ This was followed by a 3.5-day Regional International Charter training, supported by the europeanspaceagency.

The hands-on sessions brought together 59 experts from 9 countries — Burundi🇧🇮 Ethiopia🇪🇹 Kenya🇰🇪 Mozambique🇲🇿 Rwanda🇷🇼 Somalia🇸🇴 Tanzania🇹🇿 Uganda🇺🇬 and Germany🇩🇪 — to work with the International Charter “Space and Major Disasters”, Charter Mapper tools and emergency simulations.

The message across both events: effective early warning depends on cooperation across institutions and borders.

By strengthening skills and regional networks, UN-SPIDER supports more coordinated, climate-resilient action across Africa.
