The Forum will be hosted by the Directorate General of Civil Aviation and Meteorology of the Ministry of Transport of Burkina Faso.

The purpose of the EUMETSAT User Forum in Africa is to reinforce the well-established dialogue between EUMETSAT and the African user community to optimise the use of EUMETSAT satellite data throughout the continent. It is one of EUMETSAT's key activities in Africa, complementing the extended coverage of the continent by its satellite, data dissemination, training, and support of development projects.

This year the theme of the forum will be "Impact of climate change on water management for crop-land and range-land in Africa". The invitation, call for papers and poster presentations, and preliminary programme will be published at the end of March 2010. Participants will then be able to register on the dedicated website.

See the EUMETSAT User Forum in Africa page for more details.
