Historique

The Department of Geospatial Information Service (DGIS) of the Ministry of Environment plays an important role in the management and operation of reliable and high-quality environmental geospatial data. These data provide information which assist practitioners and decision-makers in Cambodia, in making decisions in a manner that promotes environmental protection, natural resources management, biodiversity conservation and sustainable development. The DGIS has the goal to establish a well-functioning and sustainable Central Data Portal (CDP) through building the internal and external human capacity, in-house technology, standards, and procedures.

In 2019, the World Bank ‘s Cambodia Sustainable Landscape and Ecotourism Project (CSLEP) was officially launched. The project’s main objectives are to improve protected areas management and to promote ecotourism opportunities. As part of the project activities, UNDP will provide technical support DGIS/MOE to develop the Cambodia Environment Information System (CEMIS)/Information Spatial Decision Support System (ISDS) to strengthen the capacity for Protected Area (PA) planning and management and law enforcement. UNDP will provide technical support the DGIS to develop the CEMIS, which is composed of “Information System” and “Decision Support System”. The information system hosts a geospatial data portal.
