Establishing a permanent committee on SDI for Africa : proposed draft statutes

In response to the growing needs for timely and accurate geospatial information for their national socio-economic development, and to ensure the necessary compatibility among data sets and information pooled from different sources, the geospatial community has been establishing umbrella organizations at global and regional levels to provide the needed policy and institutional frameworks. The Global Spatial Data Infrastructure Association (GSDI) is the overall organization bringing together national and regional programmes. At regional level, the European Umbrella Organization for Geographical Information (EUROGI), the Permanent Committee on GIS Infrastructure for Asia and the Pacific (PCGIAP) and the Permanent Committee on SDIs for the Americas (PC-IDEA), have been established.
