Geonode uses and users
• Geospatial data can be used for many purposes: establishing baseline data, conducting risk assessments, planning, project monitoring, and tracking progress.
• Access to high quality information is critical for project mangers, planners, policy makers, stakeholders and consultants involved in the development projects, as well as students, and public sector.
• Composing, sharing and publishing geospatial data and maps.
• Geonode lets you upload, manage, browse and search data.

Geonode Project Goals• Development, Implementation and maintenance of a
Geonode portal for local and regional collaboration, geospatial data sharing and management, to support evidence-based decision making.
• facilitate open access to related geo-spatial information, data and knowledge sources, encouraging others to collaborate and share spatial data.
• Address technical challenges of both national and regional geospatial data management, including GSDI, data-sharing, metadata policies, infrastructure, technological capacity, and open-source data platforms.
