GRID Nairobi has been acting as an active advisor formulating a project strategy. GRID Nairobi has responsibility for the co-ordination, edition and publication of the chapters dealing with data management. GRID Nairobi has, in addition, written a section on these chapters. Publication is estimated to be to the end of 1995. As a joint effort between GRID Geneva and GRID Nairobi, negotiations to establish a GRID compatible center in the Mediterranean area were successfully completed.
Current agreement is under signature.
The Plan Bleu, a regional component of the Mediterranean Action Plan, is the new member of the GRID co-operating centers. Le Plan Bleu has broad experience in establishing national environmental data acquisition and dissemination centers in the Mediterranean. We are glad to provide in-house assistance. We are proud to mention that the current most updated map of the UNEP compound has been produced and artistically finalized in our computers.
