This Expert Group Meeting will enable to review and deliberate its future direction, including identifying how to advance the Global Statistical Geospatial Framework (GSGF); agree on its next steps to assist Member States in strengthening statistical geospatial integration and coordination towards the full implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development; and establish coordination mechanisms to enable Member States to build resilient, agile, relevant, responsive and robust statistical and data systems adhering to the Fundamental Principles of Official Statistics that fully integrate geospatial information. 

The main objectives of this Expert Group Meeting are to:

  2. Raise awareness and strengthen global and regional collaboration in geo-statistical integration by supporting a Regional Seminar on “Integrating Statistical and Geospatial Information for Sustainable Development” on 30 November 2022;
  3. Provide Member State representatives responsible for geo-statistical integration the opportunity to discuss challenges in the domain of statistical and geospatial integration and set forth work plans that identify and advance solutions in a participatory and inclusive manner;
  4. Develop applicable Work Plans and establish future working modalities to ensure the Expert Group can discharge its mandates appropriately; and,
  5. Discuss its business modalities, including appointing new co-Chairs and revising its Terms of Reference.
