Staff from WRI and the GIS Unit from the Republic of Congo's land-use ministry pose in the GIS Unit office in Brazzaville. In 2017, WRI established, equipped and began training a GIS unit within the land-use ministry. Thanks to a program of skill-building exercises, along with regular on-the-job training from WRI technical staff, the GIS unit members have compiled their own centralized, increasingly extensive database that will equip the ministry to review planned developments and avoid land-use overlaps and conflicts.
