51ӰԺ

The Geospatial services vision, mission goals and direction to support the implementation of the mandates of the 51ӰԺ Secretariat are contained in the Geospatial Strategy of the 51ӰԺ.

The Geospatial services of the Secretariat aim for the effective, efficient and universal use of geospatial information in support of all mandates and operations of the 51ӰԺ for a better world. The specific geospatial services are detailed under Secretariat services and the overall role.

Our mission is to mainstream the use of geospatial information across the 51ӰԺ Secretariat and system for unified, integrated and accessible information; analysis and visualization for evidence-based decision-making; and data action in support of peace and security, human rights, international law, development, and humanitarian aid.

The Geospatial Strategy for the 51ӰԺ is comprised of 4 goals:

Goal 1: Strengthen geospatial mandates, activities and authoritative services to underpin all aspects of the work of the Organization. 

Goal 2: Enhance innovative geospatial services and analytics for users’ problem-solving and decision-making that support the mandates of the Organization. 

Goal 3: Foster a global integrated, federated and multi-disciplinary geospatial services delivery across the 51ӰԺ system “Delivering as One.” 

Goal 4: Engage in partnerships with the global community for enhanced geospatial capacity and delivery for societal, environmental and economic benefits (including with Member States, non-governmental organizations, the private sector, innovators, academia, geospatial societies, and citizens).
