We are the Netherlands Coordination Office for UNSDI (UNSDI-NCO). We are the national liaison between the United Nations organizations, UN Member States and Netherlands ministries, institutes, universities, NGOs, SMEs and (multi-national) enterprises.
Our mission is to increase sustainability of our planet and to decrease world inequality. To that end we contribute to the world-wide disclosure of geographic information, GIS and SDI software, sharing of knowledge and experience. This simultaneously contributes to the Sustainable Development Goals and combating climate change.
If you need support in getting high-quality specific application oriented geographic information, SDI implementation, GIS education and training or support in setting up and implementing national SDI related policies, we’re here to help you.
We manage and coordinate support requests, directing them to appropriate organizations or individuals within our network that can provide substantial assistance. Our network includes partners from the United Nations and the Netherlands’ UNSDI initiative. In this process, we serve as an intermediary, facilitating connections between those seeking support and those able to provide it.
