Written by Administrator | 20 June 2011

For the last 9 months, Upande and World Resources Institute have been jointly developing what has been coined Virtual Kenya. Virtual Kenya is an online interactive platform with related materials for those with no access to the Internet. It is designed to provide improved access to high quality spatial data and cutting- edge mapping technology to allow more Kenyans to use and interact with spatial data in their educational and professional pursuits. This will be accomplished by providing online access to publicly available spatial data sets and by offering users a number of interactive tools and learning resources for exploring these data. Users both inside and outside of Kenya will be able to view, download, publish, share, and comment on various map-based products.
