Established in June 2002, the GIS (Geographic Information Systems) Department at the NWA is staffed by a GIS Manager and three GIS Officers. It is located in the Planning and Research Directorate of the NWA, appropriately at the corporate office. From inception, the GIS department has implemented a number of projects which simultaneously shows its evolution over the last seven years. For the first two years the unit pioneered by Miss Edmarine Lowe-Ching, was able to acquire the high powered hardware and ESRI software that were required to develop NWA GIS.
