IN THE SPOTLIGHT

GIS Data from the Swaziland Water and Agricultural Development Enterprise (SWADE)
The Government of Swaziland, in an effort to alleviate poverty and increase the standard of living for her citizens, created the Swaziland Komati Project Enterprise (SKPE) to help efficiently plan and implement substantial water projects. In order to encompass other projects outside of the Komati belt, they have changed to the Swaziland Water and Agricultural Development Enterprise (SWADE).

The Swaziland Water and Agricultural Development Enterprise (SWADE) have contributed to SAHIMS GIS Data library. Datasets can now be downloaded from SAHIMS.NET.

For more information on the data please contact: Bongumenzi Makhanya at bongumenzim@skpe.co.sz
