Phase 1
• To meet the politicians and senior officials
– One day seminars within each county – different performance - feed back
meetings
– 12 queries about GIS
– The benefit of utilising GIS
– How to manage a GIS effort
– How to use what’s already done
• To initiate the local development process
–

–
–
Initiate the creation of a GIS strategy
Identify key persons
Get along from where you are – don’t necessarily start at box No 1
Create a local plan for GIS activities
Plan for comprehensive GIS training
Phase 1 (contd.)
• To cooperate
