Free Tools
Sector tools, built and shared openly.
GAB Climate Smart builds practical GIS, environmental, and agribusiness tools for operators, consultants, and development actors working in Ghana and West Africa. We share them freely because better information produces better land, farm, and resource decisions.

Map & site tools
GIS · Flood Susceptibility
GAB FloodSense — Flood Suitability
Find out whether a location in Ghana is flood-prone. Drop a pin, draw a plot boundary, or upload your own GeoJSON/KML polygon. FloodSense estimates flood susceptibility from elevation, slope, rivers, wetlands, and open water, and tells you which of Ghana's known flood zones your site most resembles.
Why use this tool
Protect your property investments from flooding and understand the physical flood drivers before buying or building.
Used by: Property developers, prospective land buyers, municipal officers, civil society
Site Screening · GIS Intake
SiteSense Lite
Draw a site boundary and submit project details to receive a first-pass GIS screening checklist. Ideal for early environmental and social impact risk assessments (ESIA) in land, farming, and conservation.
Why use this tool
Identify early environmental red flags, assess land suitability, and streamline regulatory due diligence before investing capital.
Used by: Land buyers, project developers, agribusinesses, NGOs, consultants
GIS · Protected Areas
Ghana Ramsar & Wetland Checker
Screen any location in Ghana against Ramsar-designated wetlands, mangrove zones, and protected natural resource areas. Enter a place, coordinates, or click the map to see instantly whether your site intersects a protected boundary.
Why use this tool
Find out before a regulator does. Avoid committing capital to land that is clearly constrained by wetland or protected-area designations.
Used by: Land investors, environmental consultants, ESG and finance teams, project developers
Agribusiness · Partnerships
Farm Block Explorer
Explore GAB's 53 mapped production blocks at Aframso on an interactive satellite map. Check block size, crop status, health indices (NDVI), and lease or joint venture availability.
Why use this tool
Access real-time block-level operational data and submit lease interest directly from an interactive GIS map.
Used by: Agricultural investors, contract growers, farm lease operators, processors

Why We Build Tools
Introducing AI and spatial intelligence into Ghanaian agribusiness is part of what we do.
Our consultancy work in GIS, drone mapping, satellite monitoring, and Blue Carbon MRV produces practical methods that can serve more than one project. These tools share useful parts of that work with the sector while opening a clear path for deeper engagements.
