Best practices of Environmental Information Systems (EIS): the case of Zimbabwe

report considers the potential, constraints, successes and weaknesses of EIS (environment and land information systems, geographical information systems (GIS)), based on practical approaches in Zimbabwe were assessed and lessons-learnt were developed.The process of developing a national EIS in Zimbabwe is also in the evolutionary phase. The country does not yet have a comprehensive nationally co-ordinated EIS. At the time of this study, several information systems co-exist which can be considered EIS sub-systems. These sub-systems primarily serve the purposes and mandates of their host organisations, who are only now beginning to co-operate and co-ordinate.
