Nigeria

“Our collaboration with GEO has reinforced Nigeria’s leadership in Africa’s Earth observation landscape, enhancing regional synergy and promoting the GEO vision across institutions. GEO’s open data philosophy has enabled us to develop localized EO solutions and improve national early warning systems with real-time analytics across various sectors.”

”Being part of GEO has greatly accelerated gender-inclusive innovations in Earth Observation (EO) applications for agriculture and climate action in Nigeria’s most underserved regions. Through GEO's support, we have been able to break longstanding barriers, empowering more women and youth in rural Nigerian communities to harness EO tools for sustainable agriculture and resource management. A Rural Community Woman's closeness to nature, her profound understanding, and essential connection breathe life into the natural world. Her unique bond and experiences in nurturing this relationship make her pivotal in preserving our environment. It's time to empower women to participate in climate change action.”

“Participation in GEO has strengthened Nigeria’s national EO policy framework. We are now aligning with open data principles and integrating EO insights into urban planning, disaster response, and environmental policy.”

"Through the integration of Earth Observation data and the GEO-LDN Toolbox, we empowered local stakeholders in Amba, Nigeria, to restore 2 hectares of degraded land, strengthen sustainable land management practices, and build resilience against environmental challenges."

"Through the power of Earth observation and GEO, we have gained unprecedented insights into the impact of deforestation in Northern Nigeria revealing patterns, guiding action, and inspiring sustainable solutions for the future."

“Through GEO, Nigeria has significantly advanced its Earth observation capabilities, empowering policy with actionable data for climate resilience, food security, and sustainable urban development. With projects such as the Farmland Inventory and SAR-based analysis of urban expansion in the FCT, Nigeria is now generating geospatial intelligence that informs land use planning, protects agricultural resources, and strengthens food systems nationwide”.
