Conclusions There is tremendous seismological activity in Africa but not coordinated enough Number of experts is improving Number & quality of Seismic stations are improving

Challenges - Maintenance of facilities and lack of local funding - Data archiving - Lack of real-time data and unable to maintain standard Seismological Practice
