quality of land information in Govt. agencies? fragmented and stand-alone information

gathering & storage – cannot combine lack of access to land information – led to

duplication lack of knowledge - technology lack of land information (geospatial) resources

available to meet current and future needs no standardization of data and interoperability

required lack of appropriately qualified and experience

people in Govt. agencies – sustainability and continuity?

lack of funding for individual agencies to work on their own

3

develop and coordinate all FLIS projects define, fund and resource all approved FLIS projects formulate policies on data generation and

management in the agencies encompassed by the FLIS umbrella, data standards, the use and dissemination of LIS data – including custodianship, pricing, privacy, security and access.

training and education liaise with the private sector and the user

community ensure that FLIS projects are properly cost-justified

and the project timetable are adhered to manage and direct the FLIS Support Centre promote all publicity and other information to keep

all sectors of the community informed on progress and products.

Connectivity – GovNet (ITC Services) Data Quality – Reference for Standards and

Need to adapt to the Global Reference Frame

Data sharing – policy to strengthen - Access to remotely sensed data limited

Funding/Budget Staff Retention – human resources are the

most important component of Geospatial Information infrastructure. GI without people has no value.

Technology adaptation vs. costs Sustainability

look at ways to increase capacity and reduce the digital divide

Promoting geospatial advocacy and awareness

review educational strategies to improve the awareness and literacy levels of geospatial information

knowledge sharing review policy options and the role of

government regarding privacy and confidentiality of geospatial information

mechanisms for the government institutions to learn from each other and to share their concerns
