Geographic Information Systems
What We Do
It is crucial to have an integrated information management system (IIMS) for GIS and data management at the national level for the key implementing government organization, the Conservation Environment Protection Authority (CEPA). Such an IIMS helps ensure the wise use, management, and conservation of PNG’s rich biodiversity.
The CEPA IIMS development is a combination of GIS and database and monitoring tools that enables CEPA to track its performance against strategic management plans. It will allow transparency, accountability, and collaboration between government departments in the planning and decision-making processes.
The project team will use the IIMS to monitor and enforce environmental management activities against set targets, as well as collect and upload biophysical information from the fields in real time. The IIMS will also allow timely information transfer from CEPA to the public and feedback from the public to CEPA.
