    AUSO Newsletter - Issue 001
    (FARA, 2026-07-01) AUSO
    The inaugural issue of the AUSO Newsletter provides an overview of progress made during the first year of implementation of the African Union Soil Observatory (AUSO) project. It highlights key milestones achieved in strengthening soil health monitoring, developing soil information systems, promoting sustainable land management, and building a continent-wide soil information ecosystem that supports evidence-based decision-making for agriculture, food security, and climate resilience. The newsletter introduces the objectives of AUSO, emphasizing its role in establishing a user-friendly Soil Observatory comprising a Soil Data Centre and Soil Health Dashboard to address soil data gaps across Africa. It also showcases major project activities, including the project launch, data management training programmes, continental surveys, strategic partnerships, stakeholder engagement, and preparations for upcoming scientific and policy events. Designed as a periodic communication publication, the newsletter serves as an outreach and knowledge-sharing platform for partners, policymakers, researchers, development practitioners, and other stakeholders interested in advancing harmonized soil information systems and sustainable soil management across Africa.
