GIS development Chronology• 1990s, Second Land Resource Evaluation and Planning Project (LREP‐II), ADB funded– First GIS application, during Indonesian period
• 2000‐ Various supports from UN, Int’l Organizations and bilateral donors,– Transitional period and independence period
• 2006: Interrupted by internal conflicts– Support Resolution at 17th UNRCC‐AP
• 2007‐: Resume of GIS development with international supports.

Policy Overview• No comprehensive legal framework for GIS infrastructure development (e.g. NSDI law)
• Bill on land registration and cadastral system is being prepared.
• DNTPSC, Ministry of Justice is responsible for national cadastral and geographic information system.
• No official coordination body for GIS policy, but• GIG (Geographic Information Group) is virtually the national coordination body– Experts from Gov., UN and Intl. Organizations etc.

Capacity buildingGenerous supports from donors and international community
Development of many datasetsYet severe lack of human and institutional capacity
develop, store, revise, distribute GIS data.Training (External and internal) still requiredPossibility of using existing resources
Knowledge of residing UN and International organizations can be transferred to Timor‐Leste side
4. GIS issues

Towards a NSDIAchievements so far
UTM 51 S, WGS84, GI portalStill required for effective and efficient GIS infrastructure
StandardizationCentralizing metadata and feature cataloguesFacilitate data exchange and dissemination, revision of GIS portalFormalized national coordination body
