The WHEEL OF PROGRESS, with six spokes symbolizing the six community capitals- natural, physical, cultural, social, economic and human. At the core of the wheel is sound natural resources management and sustainable environment, which is the goal of the millennium. A nation’s capacity and capability for attaining the goal rests on the six assets.

The Accra Conference will demonstrate the use of Remote Sensing and satellite image-based products supported by Communications Technology and Spatial Data Infrastructure for resolving the data shortage for Africa’s recovery, planning and development of the six capitals.
