Abstract 
The development and inventory of photogrammetrie educatio 
nal facilities in Africa is presented and analysed. A summary 
is given of the states of Africa /excluding Francophone Africa/ 
in which photogrammetry is practised and photogrammetrie edu 
cation is available at various levels. 
In Nigeria, the state of topographic and non-topographi- 
cal application of photogrammetry and training is portayed. 
The need for remote sensing and multiple applications are expo- 
i 
sed. The advancement in photogrammetrie education in this coun 
try is also discussed in greater detail. The need for greater 
/ 
attention in education and research is emphasized. 
The various National Governments all over Africa are called 
upon to encourage and pay greater attention, in terms of finan 
cial commitments, to the use of photogrammetry and its advanced 
techniques as tool for development. 
The general lack of co-ordination between topographical 
and non-topographical applications is highlighted. The need for 
« 
better education in this co-ordination aspects is discussed. 
This is seen to be most vital to the development of rural areas.
