United Nations Integrated Geospatial Information Framework (UN-IGIF)
The United Nations Integrated Geospatial Information Framework (UN-IGIF) provides a basis and guide for developing, integrating, strengthening and maximizing geospatial information management and related resources in all countries. It will assist countries in bridging the geospatial digital divide, secure socio-economic prosperity, and to leave no one behind.
UN-IGIF: Strengthening national geospatial information management arrangements
The Committee of Experts on Global Geospatial Information Management at its tenth session adopted the Implementation Guide of the United Nations Integrated Geospatial Information Framework (UN-IGIF), subject to further refinement and finalization, as a means of strengthening national geospatial information management arrangements within and across Member States at the institutional level and supporting the implementation of the Sustainable Development Goals, especially in developing countries. The Committee of Experts noted the global significance of the Framework, which served as a key umbrella for the many activities under its purview, including regional committees and thematic groups, which could be applied to any country to guide transformational change.
