Objectives

General objective

Gain a detailed understanding of the level of preparedness of the countries of the region to implement GSGF principles and provide support to reduce disparities in progress on institutional arrangements, data management and technological development, as well as to foster regional cooperation in these fields.

Specific objectives

  1. Develop a tool or application that automates the self-assessment carried out by countries regarding their level of readiness to implement GSGF in the regional context.
  2. Conduct a systematic and comprehensive compilation of information on the implementation of GSGF in the countries of the region, in order to identify key advances and gaps.
  3. Establish an interactive, regularly updated knowledge base that brings together technical documentation, implementation guides, national case studies, lessons learned and recommendations on institutional management, with the aim of supporting the expansion of geoportal development in less experienced countries.
