We serve...
Populations
The formalization of land rights reduces conflicts, secures investments, and allows for the establishment of a reliable basis for potential equitable land taxation. Geographic information is central to disaster management and the prevention of natural or technological risks.
Territories
Data collected through geographic information is essential in the sectors of land-use planning, land management, agriculture, and the environment.
State sovereignty
To help manage their territories, governments need to modernize their geographic infrastructures. Staff training in the production and utilization of reference geographic data is also essential.
The preservation of natural resources
Geographic information is crucial for monitoring the preservation of natural resources. It is also essential in countries where food security is threatened and where agriculture constitutes a significant part of the national economy.

Our history
Upon its creation in 1986 by IGN, IGN FI actively participated in updating national mapping in Africa. It gradually expanded its geomatics expertise to include land administration, environment, agriculture, and defense. Over the decades, IGN FI has successfully integrated the latest technological advancements.
In 2015, after a fruitful 15-year collaboration, GEOFIT became the majority shareholder of IGN FI, thus expanding its means of intervention.
Since its inception, IGN FI has been committed to supporting its clients in their geomatics projects, with a focus on sustainability, skill transfer, and change management for the implemented solutions.
