General
The FIG Asia Pacific Capacity Development
Network (AP CDN) formed in response to the FIG Pacific Small
Island Development Symposium (SIDS) - Suva Statement on
“Spatially Responsible Governance”, held in Lami Bay Suva –
Fiji, September 2013.
The FIG AP CDN consists of participants from our
Commissions, the corporate sector, academic networks, and our
sister organisations.
The main purpose of the FIG AP CDN is to provide
specialist advice on the development of geodetic and geospatial
capacity in the Asia Pacific region, and to also assist
countries to establish fit for purpose geodetic infrastructure
and systems that supports responsible land governance and the
built environment.
The activities of FIG AP CDN also are focused on (a)
addressing the technical geodetic and geospatial challenges, and
(b) advocating how geospatial and geodetic information can
influence the socio and economic issues being faced today.
To deliver these remits, and to convene reference
frame in practice workshops, seminars and meetings, FIG AP CDN
will rely on the will to succeed, significant collaboration and
relationship building with like-minded agencies and professional
bodies, developing geodetic capacity, and the alignment or
harmonisation of geodetic wants and needs with the broader
objectives of a country’s government.
