The Global Statistical Geospatial Framework (GSGF) is a high-level framework adopted by the
United Nations Statistical Commission (UNSC) and the UN-GGIM Expert Committee, and developed
by the Expert Group on the Integration of Statistical and Geospatial Information (EG-ISGI).

The GSGF aims to provide a standardized and harmonized approach for integrating statistical and
geospatial information, enabling the production of geospatially enabled statistics that are consistent,
comparable, and accessible.

Through its five principles, the GSGF seeks to:

► Improve the quality, timeliness, and efficiency of national statistical production.
► Reduce redundancies and optimize data collection, integration, and analysis processes.
► Promote interoperability and comparability of data at national and international levels.
► Strengthen evidence-based decision-making through the use of integrated and georeferenced
information.
► Facilitate the analysis of complex issues such as urban planning, public health, and environmental
management.
