African Waterbird Census - News from Dakar 1998

Recently we have published the 1998 AfWC report, which will be with you very soon, if a little late. This delay is due to our period of transition with the AfWC programme. With the opening of the first Africa Office in Senegal, our headquarter in Wageningen (the Netherlands) has been decentralising the activities of the Africa Programme. Consequently, I have completed an initial training in Wageningen to gain a better working knowledge of the programme, more especially the AfWC and management of the Wetlands International database. This was followed by the editing and publication of the 1998 AfWC report here in Dakar and at last, the transfer of the AfWC database to the West Africa Office.
