[OSGeo Africa] African Data

Craig

Thanks for the reply. FAO is a great site and have sourced data from there
already. I like to source data from multiple sources to verify boundary
layers and have registered at SALB. Thanks for the link.

I am also requesting datasets directly from the countries "mapping
authorities" now.

Thanks.
