The power of such a tool results from its capacity to combine different spatial (i.e. geographically coordinated) data to produce comprehensive and integrated information that can be easily analysed and visualised.

Authors : this report and the accompanying five country reports were prepared by John Hambrey (Hambrey Consulting), Hugh Govan and Crick Carleton (Nautilus Consultants).
