Investment Areas
Translating national policy frameworks into practical systems that accelerate adoption and implementation.
Our assessments identified significant gaps between policy frameworks and practical implementation, particularly regarding Nigeria's National Geospatial Data Infrastructure (NGDI). Limited stakeholder understanding of policy benefits has hindered adoption and integration. The Geospatial Policy Operationalization investment area addresses this gap by demonstrating the practical value of policy frameworks through tangible applications.
Key Challenges Addressed:
Disconnect between policy frameworks and operational implementation
Limited stakeholder understanding of policy benefits
Insufficient practical examples of policy application
Slow adoption of national standards and frameworks
Strategic Approach:
This investment area accelerates policy implementation through:
Demonstration of practical applications
Stakeholder engagement and education
Evidence generation on policy benefits
Technical support for implementation
The NGDI Portal Prototype intervention develops a pilot platform to demonstrate the practical value of the National Geospatial Data Infrastructure policy.
Implementation Approach: This intervention focuses on creating a practical demonstration of policy value:
Developing a pilot portal using geospatial health data
Creating use cases that demonstrate tangible benefits
Engaging stakeholders through practical demonstrations
Documenting evidence to support policy advancement
Implementation Status:
Partner: Selection in progress
Status: Planning phase
Progress: Collaboration with NASRDA has been initiated, a concept note developed, and an implementation roadmap drafted
