Kenya is part of several Africa countries set to gain from a new continent-wide initiative to use satellite data in fighting challenges such as climate change.

The Digital Earth Africa (DE Africa) initiative brings together several African countries, including Kenya, Ghana and Sierra Leone in pooling and analysing satellite data and mining the same for insights.
