ACTIVITY CENTERS

The Agency has six activity Centres spread across the nation. Their mandates are clearly stated; though, collaboration exist between the centres on some projects where two or more activity centres can play a supporting role. Below are the various activity centres with their mandates respectively.

Center for Geodesy and Geodynamics, Toro

CGG is established to build capacity for:
Geodetic surveying and mapping, Monitoring of crustal deformation and subsidence due to excessive oil and gas exploitation, Floods and global mean sea level rise and other related seismic and geodynamic phenomena, including Implementation of international agreements with respect to Satellite Laser Ranging (SLR), Very long Baseline Interferometry (VLBI) andCooperative International GPS Network etc.
