africanDRONE

This is just the beginning. We’re continuing to expand the database, verify new contacts, and grow it into a trusted public resource for the drone ecosystem worldwide.

The platform brings together: • drone laws and regulations • aviation authority contacts • verified operators and fixers • training resources and MOOCs • drone news from Africa and beyond

🚨We’ve launched the africanDRONE World Drone Map, a new platform designed to make the global drone ecosystem easier to navigate. Regulations, verified contacts, companies, resources, and news, all in one place. ✈️worlddronemap.com

💻 🚁 Drone and Sensor journalism in full display in Greece at @iMEdD_org! We're showing how innovative tools and collaborations can power the future of public-interest journalism. Always in collab with Africa's largest civic tech nonprofit @Code4Africa

As we continue to grow and offer opportunities to our member pilots, we'd like to present our partnership with Open Planet - a royalty-free video library specializing in video for climate-related storytelling. medium.com/africandrone-o…

We strongly believe in fair and reasonable drone regulations to help empower Africans to use drones repsonsibly.

@Code4Africa and africanDRONE are partnering to create a world class online educational course designed for a wide spectrum of students interested in drones, EO, and future tech. Follow our progress and stay tuned for a link to the final course here: africanDRONE.org/academy
