Report on ECA's activities in the area of geoinformation since the second session of the committee on development information, science and technology (CODIST II)
Abstract
This report outlines the activities undertaken by the Economic Commission for Africa (ECA) in the field of Geoinformation since the second session of the Committee on Development Information, Science and Technology (CODIST II). The focus has been on promoting national policies and e-strategies for spatial data infrastructures (SDIs) at both regional and national levels, enhancing e-government services, and fostering international cooperation. Key initiatives include leading the African contribution to the Global Geospatial Information Management (GGIM) process, developing an African Action Plan on Geospatial Information Management, and establishing enabling legal frameworks for geoinformation utilization. The report highlights the development of National Spatial Data Infrastructures (NSDI) in various African countries, the creation of regional geospatial databases, and the implementation of online applications to improve access to spatial data.
