AIMS provides advisory services to clients on a walk-in and appointment basis at all of our offices. International or Afghan GIS and database specialists are available for consultations. The unique experience and skills of the AIMS staff enable them to comment on a wide variety of topics, with a clarity and expertise rarely found in similar environments. Many of the requests involve semi-technical questions regarding the nature of mapping, data collection and GIS in Afghanistan. Most clients are unfamiliar with the special problems of geographic and demographic data in Afghanistan and require guidance for implementing projects, surveys, or programs.
