Client Testimonials

What our partners say about working with SoMAP on geospatial projects across the Horn and East Africa.

SoMAP delivered a drought monitoring platform that transformed how our ministry tracks vegetation conditions across Somalia.

Ahmed Hassan

Director, Ministry of Environment

The land cover mapping SoMAP produced for our rangeland program in northern Kenya was accurate, well-documented, and delivered on time.

Grace Wanjiku

Program Manager, FAO Kenya

We engaged SoMAP for GIS training and flood hazard mapping in Ethiopia. The flood risk maps are now integrated into our disaster preparedness plans.

Dr. Samuel Bekele

Dr. Samuel Bekele

Disaster Risk Advisor, Regional Bureau

SoMAP's drone mapping work gave us centimetre-level elevation data for a watershed restoration project in Karamoja.

Mary Akello

Project Lead, Resilience NGO

The custom geospatial web application SoMAP built allows our researchers to visualize climate data interactively.
