UNOSAT

UNOSAT is a United Nations programme created to provide the international community and developing countries with enhanced access to satellite imagery and Geographic Information System (GIS) services. These tools are used mainly in humanitarian relief, disaster prevention and post crisis reconstruction.
UNOSAT is the United Nations Institute for Training and Research (UNITAR) Operational Satellite Applications Programme implemented in co-operation with the UN Office for Project Services (UNOPS). In addition, partners from public and private organizations constitute the UNOSAT consortium.
The UNOSAT core team consists of UN fieldworkers as well as satellite imagery experts, geographers, database programmers and internet communication specialists. This unique combination gives us the ability to understand the needs of our users and to provide them with suitable, tailored solutions.
