4. Space Data Needs Wall-wall imagery required for the period 2015 - 1990
Preference for Landsat data due to cost, availability on time series and its moderate resolution that allows categorization of our features of interest.
Provision of pre-processed images - LT1
High resolution imagery (e.g. SPOT) will be used to clarify training sites
Images of the dry season and with less clouds have been proposed i.e. January – March
A few sites along the coastal region are affected by clouds – we need alternative data to solve the issue of clouds or time series pixel based methodologies that overcome the problem

5. Existing maps
Maps of 1990 and 2000 produced from LANDSAT

6. For 2010, mapping was done using the Japanese ALOS AVNIR-2
and DMC satellite data used to fill gaps
Preliminary accuracy assessment shows that the land cover change methods were not accurate .
The process of accuracy assessment is supported by FAO

7. Land cover change map

8. Optimal Sampling scheme for an NFI
Current challenges & obstacles where GFOI assistance may be most valuable
Training
Land cover classification,
Change detection and
Uncertainty analysis
Use of open source software
MGD best practices and step by step instructions
Refining/reviewing our process manuals

9. Land cover maps 1990 and 2010
Most of Kenya land cover was classified as grassland- There is need to put more effort on the grasslands
