This side event will discuss the proposed Digital Earth Africa initaitive, which will build on the open-source Open Data Cube technology to establish a continental-scale platform that can track changes across Africa in support of support responses to critical issues,  including  soil  and  coastal  erosion,  increasing agricultural productivity,  forest  and desert development, water quality, and changes to human settlements.  The event will bring together the project sponsors, GEO Members from Africa, and the broader GEO community to discuss how to take the initiative to the next step, and how to build on the recently launched Regional Africa Data Cube activity.
