Spatial Information Governance Guidelines (NEW)
Purpose of the Governance Guidelines
'Governance' is the way in which decisions are made and implemented. It can be described in many ways, but essentially it incorporates the following elements:
- Managing interactions between the major actors (eg state, civil society, business, individuals, etc).
- Mechanisms by which these actors can voice their interests, resolve differences, exercise their rights and obligations.
- Rules, institutions, practices (also 'behaviours') that facilitate the exercise of power/authority and participation in the functioning of society or organisation.
While VSIS defines the coordinating mechanisms that will achieve its objective to facilite effective use of spatial information, governance will be the means of giving effect to them.
Therefore the purpose of these Guidelines is to set out the principles under which the spatial information management framework will be implemented using the coordinated approach and articulate the roles of the sectors participating in setting and implementing it.
