GPS and phones to help map neglected diseases in Africa The countries in Sub-Saharan Africa will begin using the latest technologies to map and collect data on the distribution of neglected tropical diseases (NTDs) later this year. Officers running national NTD control programmes will be trained to use the latest mapping tools - including geographic information systems (GIS), geographic positioning systems (GPS) and smart phones to create maps and collect data, to help with 'practical control' of diseases that continue to afflict millions of people on the continent. Despite being some of the easiest diseases to treat, NTDs continued to ravage populations across Africa. "National control programme officers will be trained in using the latest tools to locate these diseases, and collect and analyse data for cost effective control of NTDs," explains Simon Brooker, professor of epidemiology at the London School of Tropical Medicine, United Kingdom. This is the first time African government programmes will deploy such technologies for NTDs surveillance. "Accurate and reliable data on NTDs is not available in many African countries, while foreign researchers and some NGOs who are the only people using satellite technology may not necessarily share their results with national governments". The five most common NTDs on the continent targeted are intestinal worms, trachoma, elephantiasis (lymphatic filariasis), river blindness, and bilharzias. Training for control officers from Ethiopia, Ghana, Kenya, Liberia, Mozambique, Nigeria and Zambia began on 13-17 May at the Kenya Medical Research Institute (KEMRI) in Nairobi, after which the officers will start mapping the NTDs in their respective countries. "The significance of using these technologies in mapping NTDs is to establish the distributions, target treatment in need areas, and estimate drug and resource requirements in affected populations and obtain clear information for monitoring and control purposes," says Sammy Njenga, Director of the Eastern and Southern Africa Centre of International Parasite Control (ESASIPC) based at KEMRI. "NTDs are 'focal' in their distribution, meaning that even in localities where they are found they usually occur in pockets - thus the importance of using the technologies in establishing their distribution". Erick Khamala, a remote sensing specialist at Nairobi's Regional Centre for Mapping of Resources for Development (RCMRD), says using satellite technologies to map diseases is the most effective way of capturing their distribution to target interventions. "Data collection can be done by a few people and the software required can be downloaded free from the internet". The initiative is collaboration between the Centre for Neglected Tropical Diseases at the Liverpool School of Tropical Medicine, UK, and the ESASIPC, with funding from the Bill and Melinda Gates Foundation. New malaria tool to help track insecticide resistance A new interactive online mapping tool will help track insecticide resistance (IR) in malaria-causing mosquitoes, experts say. The tool, the IR Mapper, "consolidates reports of insecticide resistance in malaria vectors onto filterable maps to inform vector-control strategies". The Swiss company Vestergaard Frandsen in collaboration with the Kenya Medical Research Institute and the US Centers conducted data consolidation for the programme for Disease Control and Prevention (KEMRI/CDC). ESRI Eastern Africa developed the map interface. The system launched in April allows users to view new data from tests on insecticide susceptibility and resistance mechanisms, and to retrieve existing published data, including historic information from as far Archive: http://www.gsdi.org/newsletters.php - 2 - Contact: SDI-Africa @ gsdi.org Vol. 12, No. 7 SPATIAL DATA INFRASTRUCTURE - AFRICA NEWSLETTER The GeoSpatial Community July, 2013 Vol. 12, No. 7 back as 1952. These data can be used to generate tailored maps from 51 countries. "IR Mapper is a tool used to view results from insecticide studies (WHO susceptibility tests) using malaria mosquitoes collected from sites throughout the world," "It can also be used to view results from investigations of insecticide- resistance mechanisms (molecular and biochemical assays) in malaria mosquitoes collected from the same or different sites" said Willis Akhlwale, head of disease control at the Kenya's Ministry of Public Health and Sanitation. The data on interactive site is obtained from scientific articles and reports as well as from IRBase - an existing database dedicated for storing data on occurrence of insecticide resistance in mosquito populations worldwide.

    A Report on the Mapping Study of Peace & Security Engagement in African Tertiary Institutions Written by Funmi E. Vogt This project was funded through the support of the Carnegie Corporation About the African Leadership Centre In July 2008, King’s College London through the Conflict, Security and Development group (CSDG), established the African Leadership Centre (ALC). In June 2010, the ALC was officially launched in Nairobi, Kenya, as a joint initiative of King’s College London and the University of Nairobi. The ALC aims to build the next generation of scholars and analysts on peace, security and development. The idea of an African Leadership Centre was conceived to generate innovative ways to address some of the challenges faced on the African continent, by a new generation of “home‐grown” talent. The ALC provides mentoring to the next generation of African leaders and facilitates their participation in national, regional and international efforts to achieve transformative change in Africa, and is guided by the following principles: a) To foster African‐led ideas and processes of change b) To encourage diversity in terms of gender, region, class and beliefs c) To provide the right environment for independent thinking d) Recognition of youth agency e) Pursuit of excellence f) Integrity The African Leadership Centre mentors young Africans with the potential to lead innovative change in their communities, countries and across the continent. The Centre links academia and the real world of policy and practice, and aims to build a network of people who are committed to the issue of Peace and Security on the continent of Africa.

The development of robotic exploration to distant planets and bodies across the solar system, as well as pioneering human space exploration in earth orbit and of the moon, paved the way for ambitious long-term space exploration. Today, space exploration goes far beyond a merely technological endeavour, as its further development will have a tremendous social, cultural and economic impact. Space activities are entering an era in which contributions of the humanities—history, philosophy, anthropology—, the arts, and the social sciences—political science, economics, law—will become crucial for the future of space exploration. Space policy thus will gain in visibility and relevance. The series Studies in Space Policy shall become the European reference compilation edited by the leading institute in the field, the European Space Policy Institute. It will contain both monographs and collections dealing with their subjects in a transdisciplinary way. More information about this
