2. CREATING A SPATIAL DATA INFRASTRUCTURE DIAGNOSTIC TOOL
Summary
Why have we developed the SDI Diagnostic Tool?
What is it, and how does it work?
Results of testing the draft version
Next Steps
A paradign shift is required to meet the SDGs and ensure secure property rights for all by 2030

3. A SPATIAL DATA INFRASTRUCTURE (SDI) DIAGNOSTIC TOOL
Why was it created?
Why? Need standardized assessment of status and investment needs
Approx. 75% WB land projects involve IT/NSDI investments
($1+ billion)
What to invest in?
what NSDI components exists?
what is missing?
what could be improved?
do priorities need to be adjusted?
which investments can deliver the biggest benefits?

4. A SPATIAL DATA INFRASTRUCTURE (SDI) DIAGNOSTIC TOOL
Launched in December 2016
Conducted in 9 countries to date
What? A questionnaire with scores and set of indicators
Policy and Strategy
Governance arrangements
Legal Framework
Accessibility and Technical Infrastructure
Socio-economic impact
Capacity Development
Use of NSDI / Applications
Core Datasets (the availability/status of 15 core datasets from UNGGIM)
Thematic datasets: tailor/target datasets linked to a country’s priorities
Also developing a methodology for socio-economic business case
Focus on middle and low income countries

5. Key Parameter: Quick and efficient
completed in a one week mission
Outputs:
Completed questionnaire based on interviews (2-3 hours)
Scores for 9 categories- “the journey of SDI development”
Assessment Report (standard format, approx pages)
List of priority sectors and datasets for socio-econ assessment
A paradign shift is required to meet the SDGs and ensure secure property rights for all by 2030

6. A SPATIAL DATA INFRASTRUCTURE (SDI) DIAGNOSTIC TOOL
How was it created?
Desk Research - what’s already been done? whats already being used?

GIS Capability and Maturity Model, URISA (2013)
Spatial Data Infrastructure Manual for the Americas (2013)
A “NSDI Index” discussion paper (Chandler et al, May 2016)
A Global Geospatial Industry Outlook (GeoMedia 2017) …
Consultations with industry experts, including…

A SPATIAL DATA INFRASTRUCTURE (SDI) DIAGNOSTIC TOOL: USES
Scotland: NSDI Masters Lecture at University of Glasgow
Students questioned the Head of Spatial Information in Local Government in Scotland using the Diagnostic Tool.

12. A SPATIAL DATA INFRASTRUCTURE (SDI) DIAGNOSTIC TOOL: USES
Malaysia: Global Public Sector Reform Knowledge Product

A paradign shift is required to meet the SDGs and ensure secure property rights for all by 2030

13. A SPATIAL DATA INFRASTRUCTURE (SDI) DIAGNOSTIC TOOL: NEXT STEPS
SDI Diagnostic Tool future use by the World Bank:
Project preparation (already used in Moldova and Indonesia)
As input to the Systematic Country Diagnostic for 100+ countries
To inform World Bank Country Portfolio– availability of GI for projects, avoidance of duplication
Used to create strategic action plan for NSDI + socio-economic business case for investment
Adapted to other SDI scenarios - Municipal / Urban or Regional SDIs
And?…
Formalized into Global Indicator of SDI readiness/geo-maturity? Partnership with other organisations e.g. UN-GGIM?
