On Thursday, March 27, 2025, a seminar dedicated to the contribution of geographic information in public decision-making was held at the King’s Conference Center in Bujumbura. This event was organized with the support of the Geomatics Centralization Office (BCG)<\/a>, under the supervision of the Burundian Prime Minister’s Office, IGN FI, and LADEC<\/a>, its partner in Burundi. <\/h4>\n[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default”

Universities and technical and financial partners, such as the World Bank<\/a>, Swiss Cooperation (DDC<\/a>), the International Organization for Migration (IOM<\/a>), the FAO<\/a>, the UNDP<\/a>, and the French Development Agency (AFD<\/a>), also took part in the discussions.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][vc_row_inner column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” text_align=”left” row_position=”default” row_position_tablet=”inherit” row_position_phone=”inherit” overflow=”visible” pointer_events=”all”][vc_column_inner column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” overflow=”visible” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][split_line_heading animation_type=”line-reveal-by-space” font_style=”h2″ line_reveal_by_space_text_effect=”default” content_alignment=”default” mobile_content_alignment=”inherit” link_target=”_self” text_content=”Inspiring International Experiences”][\/split_line_heading][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInUp”]During the presentations, several projects led by IGN FI were showcased, particularly in Uganda, Guinea, Madagascar, and Burundi, illustrating the modernization of land administration and the establishment of national mapping. Emphasis was also placed on the Geoportal, a tool facilitating access to reference geographic data, and on the modernization of the national geodetic network. <\/p>\n

Risk management was the subject of in-depth discussions, with a focus on the Integrated Flood Management Project in Senegal (PGIIS<\/a>), generating strong interest among participants. The application of these experiences could greatly contribute to flood prevention in Burundi and to better management of the country’s natural and land resources.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column_inner][\/vc_row_inner][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row type=”in_container” full_screen_row_position=”middle” column_margin=”default” column_direction=”default” column_direction_tablet=”default” column_direction_phone=”default” scene_position=”center” top_padding=”100″ text_color=”dark” text_align=”left” row_border_radius=”none” row_border_radius_applies=”bg” overflow=”visible” overlay_strength=”0.3″ gradient_direction=”left_to_right” shape_divider_position=”bottom” bg_image_animation=”none” gradient_type=”default” shape_type=””][vc_column column_padding=”no-extra-padding” column_padding_tablet=”inherit” column_padding_phone=”inherit” column_padding_position=”all” column_element_direction_desktop=”default” column_element_spacing=”default” desktop_text_alignment=”default” tablet_text_alignment=”default” phone_text_alignment=”default” background_color_opacity=”1″ background_hover_color_opacity=”1″ column_backdrop_filter=”none” column_shadow=”none” column_border_radius=”none” column_link_target=”_self” column_position=”default” gradient_direction=”left_to_right” overlay_strength=”0.3″ width=”1\/1″ tablet_width_inherit=”default” animation_type=”default” bg_image_animation=”none” border_type=”simple” column_border_width=”none” column_border_style=”solid”][split_line_heading animation_type=”line-reveal-by-space” font_style=”h2″ line_reveal_by_space_text_effect=”default” content_alignment=”default” mobile_content_alignment=”inherit” link_target=”_self” text_content=”A Need for Data Structuring and Access”][\/split_line_heading][vc_column_text css_animation=”fadeInUp”]Local stakeholders presented an overview of the collection and use of geographic data.
