Episode Synopsis

Today I am joined by Richard Brittan, founder of the innovative GIS company ALCIS. Richard identifies the lack of mapping of poverty in most parts of the world. He focusses on Afghanistan and the problems that surveyors and GIS experts have in mapping poverty across the board. In this instance, most poverty data is derived from a census from 2004, making almost all extrapolated information not fit for purpose. Join us as we delve deep into Richard's vision for this poverty map and how he has drawn on his experience in the field to develope this type of map. Links: ALCIS
