dc.description.abstractStudies have been undertaken to take stock of GIS and P-GIS initiatives in Benin, Kenya, Malawi, Rwanda, Senegal, and Tunisia. Objectives of the research are to establish a baseline regarding GIS and P-GIS in each country; review various information systems on natural resources; identify issues essential for the institutionalization of approaches based on P-GIS; and identify areas for reflection on the interoperability of P-GIS databases. Research tools adapted to local contexts include questionnaires, interview guides, analytical grids and software for information processing. This article provides an overview of the P-GIS process.en
