The report provides information concerning a series of projects dealing with the applications of remote sensing in five developing countries, funded by the International Development Research Centre (IDRC) between 1974 and 1979. The practical aim of the projects -- in the Sudan, Bolivia, Tanzania, Bangladesh, and Mali -- was to provide maps of the natural resources of specific areas in each of these countries as a basis for development and improvement in these areas. The projects were innovative in that they used new information-gathering and processing techniques, made available through remote sensing. The report covers each of the projects and concludes with a few general comments to complement this information.
