Africa Satellite Navigation Conference
Satellite Navigation: A Catalyst for Africa's Development
The Africa Satellite Navigation Conference High-Level pre-event on Leveraging GNSS Technology for Enhanced Multi-Hazard Early Warning Systems in Africa will explore how satellite navigation systems can be applied to improve disaster resilience. This aligns with the UN Early Warning for All (EW4ALL) initiative, the UN 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development, and the African Union's Agenda 2063, aiming to reduce disaster risks and enhance community preparedness across the continent.
Recent advancements in GNSS technology, data integration, and analysis will be discussed, emphasizing their critical role in enhancing the accuracy and timeliness of early warnings for various hazards. These innovations strengthen hazard detection and monitoring, improve the communication of risks, and support preparedness efforts by ensuring that both communities and response teams are well-informed and equipped to act swiftly in response to potential threats, aligning with key elements of risk knowledge, early warning dissemination, and community preparedness strategies shown in the image.
The pre-event will serve as a platform for stakeholders to exchange knowledge, share best practices, and collaborate on integrating GNSS technology into early warning systems. Through interactive sessions and expert presentations, participants will gain insights into leveraging these technologies to build resilient communities and save lives.
