Since 2008, the Amathole District Municipality has used GIS technology to capture information about its infrastructure in order to aid in roles like development planning, disaster response and project management. When not properly managed and updated, however, data can become obsolete, and by 2011 the District Municipality found their datasets were not accurate enough to make informed decisions. Eighteen key datasets were identified by the client and GeoAfrika Technologies worked with the relevant stakeholders, including ward councillors and local communities, to spatially capture and verify the required information. This was then published through a GIS web map and supported by a data maintenance plan.
