Earth Observation for Sustainable Aggregate Supply’s (EO4SAS) mission is to provide Kenya with data, information and insights on how the country can sustainably manage sand and aggregate resources.
EO4SAS uses satellite Earth observation data combined with in-country knowledge from local stakeholders and communities to provide a better understanding of the current extraction sites, scale and transportation routes, alongside the environmental impacts; helping the Government of Kenya identify better strategies for the sustainable management of this resource.
The EO4SAS video describes more about the work we’re doing and why it is important.
EO4SAS is currently seeking funding to support operational development in Kenya.
