Positioning geospatial information to address global challenges
#geospatialbydefault – Empowering billions! The 2019 Forum will demonstrate geospatial technology as ubiquitous,
pervasive, and ‘default’ in our daily lives. Topics to be discussed include the
sustainable development goals, smart cities, location analytics & business
intelligence, construction & engineering, environment; and emerging
technologies such as AI, IoT, big data, cloud, blockchain and others.
Positioning geospatial information to address global challenges
#geospatialdigitaldivide
Denying ‘opportunity’ for billions! For developing countries, realizing digital transformation and geospatial
technology by ‘default’ remains out of reach. They are yet to have the
‘opportunity’ to attain effective and sustained access to the vast amounts
of data, digital technology, the Internet and the corresponding computer
literacy that is needed to contribute to the global information society and
accelerate human progress.
2030 Agenda: Goals, targets, indicators… and data!!
“By 2020, enhance capacity-building support to developing countries, including for LDCs and SIDS, to increase significantly the availability of high-quality, timely and reliable data disaggregated by income, gender, age, race, ethnicity, migratory status, disability, geographic location and other characteristics…”
Positioning geospatial information to address global challenges
“Without evidence of where we stand now we
cannot confidently chart our path forward in
realizing the SDGs. To that end, this Report reflects
on the challenges faced in the collection,
processing, analysis and dissemination of reliable,
timely, accessible and sufficiently disaggregated
data, and calls for better evidence-based
policymaking.
Today’s technology makes it possible to collate the
data we need to keep the promise to leave no one
behind. But we need political leadership, resources
and commitment to use the tools now available”

What IS the geospatial digital divide?
What are the gaps to be bridged?
How do we create opportunity?

In 2016 fixed-broadband penetration reached 30% in developed countries, but only 8.2% and 0.8% in developing
regions and least developed countries (LDCs), respectively. In the developed regions, about 80% of the
population are online, compared to 40% in developing regions and 15% in LDCs. Although Internet use in LDCs
has tripled over the last five years, the percentage of users today only reaches the level enjoyed by
developed countries in 1998.

INTEGRATED GEOSPATIAL INFORMATION FRAMEWORK
A STRATEGIC GUIDE TO DEVELOP AND STRENGTHEN NATIONAL GEOSPATIAL INFORMATION MANAGEMENT
Positioning geospatial information to address global challenges
The Integrated Geospatial Information Framework (IGIF) comprises 3 separate, but connected, documents. The Overarching Strategic Framework has been completed and adopted by UN-GGIM in August 2018. The structure and main elements of the Implementation Guide are being developed now. The Country-level Action Plans are work in progress and being developed through case studies.
Positioning geospatial information to address global challenges
Anchored by 9 Strategic Pathways, the Framework is a mechanism for articulating and demonstrating national leadership in geospatial information, and the capacity to take positive steps.

Summary
The Integrated Geospatial Information Framework (IGIF) is being developed as a reference guide and process for developing and strengthening national geospatial information management arrangements. It can be used to establish national arrangements or to improve them. The IGIF can also be used to coordinate activities to achieve alignment between already existing national agency capabilities and infrastructures.
