  3. 55.3 % on board But............................ - 44.6 % only participating - only 10.6 % serving data

  4. Progress slow • No complete or only old data sets available in many countries • No digital data sets available • IT capacity of many African counties below standard • Need of many African Geological Surveys to generate funds from the sale of their data • African data held by organisations outside Africa • Some countries difficult to get hold of

  5. Light at the end of the tunnel • One Geology officially endorsed by the meeting of the Organisation of African Geological Surveys on 12 February 2009 in Cape Town • OAGS new tool get hold of difficult countries • Metallogenic map of Africa could be used for OneGeology • In preparation for the IGC 2016 in Cape Town, the compilation of regional geological maps of Africa has been decided, and there could be an obvious link to OneGeology
