[OSGeo Africa] Zambian gazeteer

[Lending]

Hi,

You website looks great, I will be happy to share my data once it gets accurate enough, there are 2000 health clinics in Zambia so it would be a useful addition, I am also trying to get the University of Zambia interested in helping out after the holidays. Thanks also for the link, I will check it out

all the best

Bob
