Abstract
Current project experience in Africa points to spatial data as a key area for improvement across the continent. This paper focuses on practical implementation of spatial data governance on infrastructure projects in Africa, using examples from ongoing projects in Kenya and Malawi where challenges have been met and solutions found. The experience gained on these projects provides an insight into three key goals to make data work for projects: maximise value from the data available, preserve that value for future users, and identify data gaps both for work now and work in the future.
期刊介绍：
Civil Engineering, listed by the Web of Science, is the ICE''s flagship journal. Practical and diverse in its scope, it publishes overview papers for the non-specialist on any subject relevant to civil engineering today. Topics range from landmark projects to philosophical, ethical, environmental, management and safety issues.
Peer review, copyediting, and colour publication by Civil Engineering are free. If accepted, published papers are easily found by Google search, as well as in specialist citation indexes. There is also the option of making your article open access, should you wish to.
Published authors receive a free electronic copy of their article to share with their peers. Furthermore, as well exposure to ICE''s 91,000-strong membership, published papers are promoted via our social media channels, accessing the wider civil engineering community.
It is free to submit a paper to this journal. Papers appear Ahead of Print (below) as soon as they are ready to be published. Ahead of print articles are fully citable. using the DOI system
