WHAT IS A NATIONAL SPATIAL DATA INFRASTRUCTURE (NSDI)?
SDI is a framework of policies, institutional
arrangements, technologies, data and people
that enables sharing and effective usage of
geographic information.
Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) allows
geographic information to be combined
from a variety of sources to a variety of
disciplines, facilitating decision-making
processes at all levels.
WHAT ARE THE SOCIAL BENEFITS?
 Data as a means for dialogue
 Data and transparency
 Better regulations
 Digital transformation/Digital living
 Governments play an important (new)
role
WHAT SDI INCLUDES?WHY SDI IS IMPORTANT?

MONITORING PROGRESS

AN EASY ACCESS TO A RELIABLE DATA WHERE AND WHEN NEEDED
IS CRITICAL TO RESPOND TO THE TODAY’S CHALLENGES!
WHERE THE MOST PEOPLE ARE AT THE TIME OF
DISASTER?
WHERE TO RESETTLE THE DISPLACED PEOPLE?
WHAT ARE THE DAMAGES?
WHO OWNS WHAT?
WHAT AMOUNT OF COMPENSATION?
WHY NSDI IS RELEVANT TO LAND TENURE?
MOST OF TODAY’S CHALLENGES HAVE CLEAR TENURE DIMENSIONS

Key Challenges
“The information I have is not the
information I want.
The information I want is not the
information I need.
The information I need is not the
information I can obtain.
The information I can obtain costs more
than I want to pay”
Peter L. Bernstein

SDI allows you to find the right information at the time when you most need it!

Out of 88 reported errors, 56 were found to be similar.
The correction of 56 errors led to automatic correction of
more than 2000 errors
Ukraine: Automatic tools for error reporting,

COMPLETED IN 14 COUNTRIES IN AFRICA, ASIA, EUROPE AND LATIN AMERICA
Outputs:
 Completed questionnaire based on interviews (2-3 hours)
 Scores for 9 categories- “the journey of NSDI development”
 Assessment Report (standard format, approx. 10 pages)
 List of priority sectors and datasets for socio-economic assessment
Key Parameters: Standardized, Quick and efficient can be completed in a one week mission

NEW INITIATIVE IN SUPPORT OF NSDI IMPLEMENTATION

STRATEGIC PARTNERSHIP: WORLD BANK – UNGGIM AGREEMENT
“BRIDGING THE GEOSPATIAL DIGITAL DIVIDE”
Aim: Assist countries to develop and implement digital
transformation to bridge the geospatial digital divide
Key Activities:
1. Develop an overarching Geospatial Framework for countries
to reference when developing their national and sub-national
spatial data infrastructures (SDIs). The Framework will consist
of principles, reference guides and good practices
for topics
2. Assist countries to prepare and implement Country-level
Action Plans to operationalize the Geospatial Framework
taking into consideration national circumstances and
priorities.

Geospatial Information contributes to speed up the VGGT
implementation towards achieving the SDGs
Technologies are available and can help developing countries
‘leapfrog’ ahead to achieve the 2030 agenda
Partnership, Advocacy and Capacity Development are key for
the success
Political will is critical- need convincing arguments to support
investment in NSDI (business case is needed)
