Spatial Information is crucial to DM Project for funding – mitigation, preparedness, response, recovery
Project Data Acquisitions contribute to the Data Sharing Problem No oversight Duplication occurs Reuse problematic No long term plan Benefits not in national interest Lost opportunity to scale-up project-level data acquisitions
DM Project to work at scale DM Project sought to resolve data sharing problem with SDI approach
Spatial Data Infrastructure Approach Six Major Components 1.Governance Model 2.Legal and Policy Framework 3.Map Portal 4.Data Framework 5.Spatial Data Supply Chains 6.Modularised System
163 Ministries…. Many use and collect spatial data SDI governance is a sensitive issue

Education and Awareness
Data sharing problem can be resolved through SDI approach To get there you need cooperation and collaboration, and a bit of effort! Conclusion
Thank you….
