The main goal of the project “Capacity building for establishment of National Spatial Data Infrastructure” is to strengthen the capacity of the State Geodetic Administration at the level of the National Contact Point and local promoters and to raise the level of knowledge about NSDI at local, regional and national level.
Current awareness-raising activities on spatial data infrastructures, which are being carried out at the national level, are insufficient and special attention is needed to reach the regional and local level in order to be involved in the establishment and implementation of the NSDI. According to the National Spatial Data Infrastructure Act (OG 56/2013, 52/2018, 50/2020), NSDI subjects are public authorities that have establishment or maintenance of spatial data within their scope. NSDI subject are obliged to make their spatial data and services available within the NSDI. Precisely with the aim of increasing the number of NSDI subjects from regional and local level, as part of the project activities, SGA will educate its employees working on NSDI affairs and employees of local and regional self-government units by holding 6 workshops and 2 conferences. The project will also strengthen the capacity of the National Contact Point (SGA) in areas currently identified as insufficient, related to licensing, spatial data conditions and methods of charging for network services, which are part of the NSDI under the NSDI Act.

By implementing the project “Capacity building for the establishment of National Spatial Data Infrastructure”, we are one step closer to fulfilling the overall goal of the NSDI, which is to identify and include all spatial data from the national, regional and local levels and make them available in one place for searching, viewing, downloading, transforming and invoking end users of public authorities and citizens through the NSDI Geoportal.
The project was co-financed by the European Union from the European Social Fund.
