Some ideas for how to participate include giving a presentation about geospatial technology to a local school or library, hosting a map gallery that coworkers can visit to learn about GIS, and joining the Community Maps Program to start sharing data with other ArcGIS users. Find out more and register an event at <a href=\"https:\/\/www.gisday.com\/en-us\/overview\">gisday.com<\/a>.\r\n<h2>GIS Boosts Data-Driven Governance in Egypt<\/h2>\r\nTo address geographic disparities in northern Egypt, the Egyptian Ministry of Local Development and the World Bank are implementing Esri technology. A unified geodatabase and a map viewer will let users explore geostatistical information and generate reports, graphics, and thematic maps. The system will employ mobile apps for data collection and dashboards to provide policy makers with a holistic view of development projects.\r\n<h2>Telecom Uses Esri Tech to Bridge Digital Divide<\/h2>\r\nMatanuska Telecom Association (MTA), which is bridging the digital divide across south central Alaska by offering broadband, television, and telephone services to residents in a 10,000-square-mile area, signed an enterprise agreement (EA) with Esri to help streamline operations and workflows. The small utility will employ ArcGIS Online to build mobile apps and collaborate in real time.
