Software development

Research, engineering and funding roles

How research direction, engineering and funding fit together.

The application was designed and built by Kartoza, a South African open source geospatial consultancy, under contract to the University of the Witwatersrand. Kartoza continues to maintain the software.

The science, the data, the indicator definitions and the direction of the tool are the work of the research partners above. Kartoza's role is engineering.
