Audit of the reforestation policies in Ivory Coast and the establishment of a reforestation database for the protected forest sector

Diagnosis of reforestation management
Establishment of a cartographic database

Context

The general objective of the reforestation policy audit is to carry out a diagnosis of the reforestation process in Cote d’Ivoire from 1928 to the present day. This is expected to provide lessons for all future programs and to setup a cartographic database for the protected zones.

Role of the GIS, KIS®, provided by Altereo:

• Provide MINEF with interactive geospatial tools for collection, treatment and analysis
• Provide a dyanamic cartography with official statistics on the geographic distribution of reforestation parcels
• Train designated officers for using the database and properly update information.

Project Description

This project comprises:

• The analysis of different methods of reforestation and theur impact on the reconstitution of the forest assets
• Addressing identified deficiencies
• Proposing follow-up and reforestation management mechanisms
• Evaluation of the contribution of non-state partners in the reforestation effort (NGOs, Forestry Professionnals, individuals and the general population)
• The analaysis of lands allocated as reforestation parcels that have definitvely been logged
• Recommendations for the success of the reforestation process
• Setting up a GIS for the follow-up of reforestation of the protected areas.

Supply and set up of a Collective Wastewater and Sanitation GIS in Cloud Mode within the Framework of the Study for Upgrading the Sanitation and Drainage Master Plan of Abidjan District

Implementation of the GIS KIS®

GIS development
Construction of data base

Context

Following a C2D (French Development Agency) financed project, carried out with the objective of upgrading the Sanitation and Drainage Master Plan of Abidjan District, a GIS was developed for the District. This GIS takes into account all pertinent data related to the upgrading.

However, this GIS can also be shared with other relevant actors such as the ONAD (Sanitaiton Department) and the SODECI (National Water Distribution Company), in order to have an operational database that can be regulary updated.

In order to better manage the updates, to have greater visibility over the use of the GIS, to properly organize the exchange process with respect ot data update and modification, the DAUD awarded the contract for the implementation of the GIS KIS® in Cloud Mode. This format renders the system accessible to all project actors via internet/intranet.

Project Description

Following service provision, the following outcomes can be expected :

• A sector-specific GIS hosted via Cloud
• The solution will be adapted to the sector
• The solution will allow data exchange in shapefile formats and allow interfacing with other information systems via webservices
• Connection with different sites will be carried out with a complete management of user profiles and rights within the platform
• Data and maps will be accessible through all platforms – PC or mobile
• All relevant personnel will be trained in the management and command of the Web-GIS
• The solution is available 24/7
• All information is automatically saved and secured

2009 + continuous improvement

Setting up a GIS for Drinking Water, Sanitation and Public Lighting Systems

Developing a “Full Web” system
Data migration without service interruption

3 646 km drinking water networks
4 157 km waste water networks
7 697 km electricity networks

Context

The project is the deployment of a large-scale IT and GIS solution with expectations matching the stakes of the missions entrusted onto LYDEC.
Since the 1st of August 1997, LYDEC is awarded a 30-year contract for the management of electricity, drinking water and sanitation service distribution for 4 million inhabitants of the Greater Casablanca.

LYDEC has 3,250 employees with an annual turnover of 375 million Euros.

In 2007, LYDEC chose Altereo to supply and implement business SIG applications for Water Supply, Sanitation, Electricity and Street Lighting in fullweb mode.

LYDEC’s is the largest sector-specific GIS deployed on the African continent with 600 end-users.

Project Description

The LYDEC GIS project is based on a server technology allowing every end-user to benefit from the geographic perspective according to the requirements of his tasks. In this regard and in order to create interaction between the future GIS and the other applications within it’s IT environment, LYDEC chose to manage its technical data in an uniform standardised environment, open and matching the state of the art of geographic information systems.

Beyond the technical challenges is the question of offering a necessary day-to-day tool for a water and electricity utility of this scale to allow it to properly supply vital services to the population and preserve natural resources with maximum performance.
