1 UPPER WEST WESTERN BRONG AHAFO AS HANTI NORTHE RN (Pilot) CE NTRAL UPPER EAST EASTERN VOLT A GREATER ACCRA Digital Mapping and GIS-Driven Feeder Road Network Database Management System for Road Project Planning and Implementation Monitoring in the Feeder Road Sector THIS IS A DFR PROJECT FUNDED BY DFID Martin hmensah, Kwaku OPON TUTU, Eli SABLAH Department of Feeder Roads Ministry of Road Transport THE PURPOSE IS TO DEVELOP A GIS-DRIVEN NATIONAL FEEDER ROAD DATABASE FOR PLANNING, DEVELOPMENT, AND MAINTENANACE OF FEEDER ROADS Emmanuel AMAMOO-OTCHERE, Foster MENSAH Centre for Remote Sensing and Geographic Information Services University of Ghana Legon The scope of the inventory and mapping covers all engineered and unengineered Feeder Roads in each district. PROJECT AREA ZONE 1 B U R K I N A F A S O The process starts with District Assembly Consultations. The consultations involve the use of existing District Feeder Roads Maps as reference for sketching in, all the missing roads that are not on the map with the participation of all stakeholders in a mass-mapping exercise REPUBLIC OF COTE I'VOIRE REPUBLIC OF TOGO The output from the consultation is an up-to-date sketch map of all the engineered and unengineered roads in the district.
