In many African governments, data scarcity isn’t the problem — data access is. By creating the Gambia Webportal, a data-sharing Google Earth Engine application, multiple existing datasets can be shared and new ones can be easily created.

Sometimes, a word becomes so common in our field that it starts to lose its meaning. Citizen science, deep learning, co-creation.
