 Organized by the Working Group on the Integrated Geospatial Information Framework (UN-IGIF) of UN-GGIM: Americas.

The Working Group on the Integrated Geospatial Information Framework (UN-IGIF) of the Regional Committee of the United Nations on Global Geospatial Information Management for the Americas (UN-GGIM: Americas) was created with the aim of enabling the countries of the region to advance in the implementation of this Framework. In this regard, the group has designed a series of consultations aimed at Member States to assess the status of UN-IGIF implementation in the Americas. These consultations have highlighted the importance of delving into tangible experiences in each of the nine strategic pathways of the Framework: Governance; Policy and Legal Framework; Finance; Data; Innovation; Standards; Partnerships; Capacity and Education; and Communication and Engagement.

These virtual webinar aim to equip the geospatial community at all levels with the necessary knowledge to understand the benefits of implementing the UN-IGIF, from theory to practical examples in each strategic pathway. They target all sectors, including academia, public sector, private sector, non-profit organizations, research groups, and regional initiatives related to geospatial information management.

The main objectives are:

  • To disseminate the Integrated Geospatial Information Framework (UN-IGIF) from a practical and real perspective.
  • To provide countries with the opportunity to learn about concrete experiences in the implementation of each strategic pathway of UN-IGIF.
  • To encourage countries to initiate the UN-IGIF implementation process by addressing available materials, as well as implementation guides and success stories.
  • To address and resolve doubts within a space for capacity building and shared experiences.
