UNIVERSITY DAILY KANSAN
The Mapping of Zambia
Ed Kowalski/Kansas
Groups seek money to map out Zambia
By Brenden Sager
Kansan staff writer
Rex Youngquist left for Zambia Sunday and took with him a University of Kansas plan that needs $20 million to happen.
Youngquist, co-owner of Eastern & Southern African Investment Limited, is one of the key players in a deal with KU and Zambia that would map Zambia using satellite images.
Eastern & Southern African Investment Limited is a firm that works with KU and organizations in Zambia to promote investment in southern and eastern Africa.
Youngquist flew to Zambia to present a letter to the Zambian government officials and sent to an American foreign-aid organization, USAID, which provides Zambia with more than $30 million each year.
The Zambian government must request that USAID reroute the money to the project.
The proposal is for KU's Kansas Applied Remote Sensing program and other Lawrence businesses to map the nation.
Kevin Price, professor of geography, said the Zambian government approached him with a request to map the country's untracked resources. About one-third of the country is unmapped.
Zambian government officials want to have more information about their nation to give to potential investors, he said.
Price said Kansas Applied Remote Sensing, Eastern & Southern African Investments Limited and Ecosystem Testing Designs Incorporated, 1321 Wakarus Drive, would be providing equipment, information and labor. The project proposal estimates the cost to be $20 million over three years.
"The thing is that the program isn't funded yet," Price said.
But the Lawrence organizations have been working for the past year to make sure the program will be financed.
Charles Becker, Ecosystems Testing Designs director, said his company would be working out the negotiations and providing labor and equipment for the multimilliondollar project.
