UNSDI NCO

Clips of the Netherlands Coordination Office (NCO) of the United Nations Spatial Data Infrastructure (UNSDI).

The NCO is the national link between the UN and Netherlands parties involved in the UNSDI programme. The NCO cooperates closely with the UN and in the Netherlands with relevant ministries, research and development institutes, universities, NGOs, SMEs and (multi-national) enterprises.

The purpose of the NCO is to disclose high-quality geo-information, knowledge and capabilities from Netherlands parties to the international UNSDI community in order to contribute to the realization of the Millennium Development Goals, Humanitarian Response, Economic Development, Environmental Protection, Peace and Safety and to combat the impact of climate change. The NCO manages the national UNSDI-GeoNetwork portal, making information available from all linked UN bodies and national UNSDI geo-information suppliers.
