How does GEObjects work with the local community?

GEObjects works with local authorities, national institutes, industry groups, the national academy, government agencies, community groups, and with our NGO partners when implementing GEObjects systems. Tarah, for example, requires nationally relevant information as inputs and produces nationally significant information. It is managed and operated by local experts, not by GEObjects.

GEObjects supplies the software and assists with training and maintenance, but the real expertise for operation of the system is local. We can't be more expert about a country than the people of that country.

For this reason, our products and services are focused on building a truly national capability that is world-leading.

Our products are also designed to support existing national schemes and initiatives, such as industry and rural development programmes, social equity projects, and REDD programmes. GEObjects products use and promote local academic research and through the use of the system in international reporting, promote national academic research into a global venue, building both capability and recognition of national scientific achievement.
