USAID Geospatial Strategy

As the world’s premier development agency, USAID has a unique role to play in the growing field of geospatial visualization and analysis—as a thought leader and convener, as an enabler of locally led development, and as a champion for innovative development solutions. This Strategy will help USAID fully embody this role and serve as a stronger partner to the people who can benefit most from these technologies.
