PARIS - This project is the second phase of the West Africa Mining Monitor, an open source, GIS web application that allows journalists and civil society to analyse and investigate West Africa's mining industries as a whole.
The team scrapped data in West Africa and managed to fetch more data for a total of 23 African countries and secure partnership to promote this tool further.
This extension of the already existing "West Africa Mining Platform" will still compile cross national data of all mining licences with geographic data concerning sensitive ecosystems and inhabited areas, but through the whole of the African extend. The tool will be rebranded "Mine Alert ! Africa".
