Company Introduction
Coordinated African Capacity and Expertise.
The African continent faces many challenges including chronic poverty, food insecurity, inappropriate exploitation of natural resources, and climate change. Geospatial Analytical Services (GeoSAS) is an Ethiopian private firm established in 2007 to meet the high demand for organized and sustainable African expertise to plan and implement Africa-led developmental programmes.
At the heart of GeoSAS’s strategy is a commitment to ensuring sustainability and ownership by relevant African stakeholders. It creates jobs for experienced Africans, including senior ex-civil servants, while building systematic knowledge transfer to young graduates.
GeoSAS has strategically positioned itself to mobilize high-level professionals with proven technical and managerial capabilities. Our senior staff are twinned with junior experts to facilitate internal knowledge transfer and capacity building, ensuring excellence in our service provision.
