“National Infrastructure for the Provision of Geospatial Data and Services” by ASIG and ASPA

State Authority for Geospatial Information (ASIG) and the Albanian School of Public Administration (ASPA) held yesterday, 20.11.2025, the training on the topic “National Infrastructure for the Provision of Geospatial Data and Services”.

ASIG and ASPA, within the framework of the cooperation agreement between them, have carried out the drafting of specialized curricula to increase the capacities of technical staff in the field of geoinformation for public administration.

The training was focused on the structure and functioning of the national geospatial data infrastructure (NSDI), its role in the harmonization and distribution of data, as well as institutional responsibilities in this process. During this session, the main functionalities of the National Geoportal were demonstrated in a practical way, including searching, visualizing, using and downloading geospatial data, as well as ways to standardize data for publication, visualization and management through the use of web services. Participants were introduced to the importance of correctly structuring metadata, as well as the role that NSDI plays in increasing the quality, interoperability and accessibility of geospatial data at the national level.

This training contributes to strengthening institutional capacities and expanding the use of the national geospatial data infrastructure for planning, territory management and the development of digital public services based on accurate and sustainable data.
