1 UN-GGIM: An Overview Stefan Schweinfest, Director (UNSD) Bangkok, 27 March 2015 ggim.un.org

Significant gap in the recognition and management of geospatial information globally Lack of a global consultative and decision-making mechanism among Member States in: setting global norms on geospatial information; developing common tools; and bringing geospatial information to bear on global policy issues This gap is increasingly being filled by the private sector, reducing the role and influence of Governments Governments, not the private sector, have the mandate and accountability to maintain and deliver the national geospatial information base and related policy

14 Key Messages This is the start of an important journey to unite our professions and our business. We are on a journey Users want information, not data Collaboration Cooperation Coordination Commitment (C)Harmonisation Population Census is an enabler and opportunity Users want information/knowledge. We need to transform data into information. Collection, processing, analysis and operations are a means to an end - not the end in themselves. Collaboration is essential. Statistics and Maps are parts of an overall information management framework. They don't exist in isolation. Cooperation is essential. Between communities, between countries. Regionally and internationally. For capability building. To lower costs. To turn data into information. Coordination between the statistical and geographic offices within a country is an important step. Institutional integration provides the political will within a country to support statistical and geospatial integration. All of this takes commitment. Population Censuses are KEY enablers for demonstrating statistical and geospatial integration - but its more than just input. Its all parts of the production chain: input throughput output, statistical cycle, and should be reusable for other collections and data sources. Build in a sustainable and repeatable way.
