Spatial data infrastructure diagnostic tool - Partnerships for implementation
Rumyana Tonchovska, Kathrine Kelm, Peter ter Haar
The World Bank in cooperation with the FAO launched the development of a Spatial Data Infrastructure (SDI) Diagnostic Tool and Economic-Business Case Analyses in December 2016. Initial testing of the tool has been completed in nine countries. Recognizing the need to develop strategic partnerships for support to countries, especially in the developing world, the World Bank signed an agreement with the United Nations initiative on Global Geospatial Information Management (UN-GGIM) in August 2017. The main objectives of the collaboration are to: (i) Develop an overarching Geospatial Framework and (ii) Assist countries to prepare and implement country level Action Plans. Under the World Bank-FAO Cooperation Program, several countries have been supported to develop and test the diagnostic tool, prepare country level action plans and look for possible sources of financing. In addition, the paper presents the ongoing work on the development of a Municipal SDI (MSDI) diagnostic tool.
