Guidance from PA• Encourage national soil institutions to join INSII.• Commitment from national soil institutions to support the
necessary actions to establish the Global Soil Information Systems.• Provision of financial and technical resources to execute
P4IP.• Invest on developing national soil information systems.• Support for implementing an aggressive capacity
development programme on soil information/mapping.
Execution of P4IP: immediate steps• Directly after 4th PA: open call for GSSDIC• Meeting of the P4WG• July-August 2016: 2nd Meeting of INSII• P4WG has 12 tasks, of which are 5 of high priority in 2016
(e.g. preparation of product specifications).• Execution of first activities, e.g. update of HWSD, etc.
