GEO and WBG PARTNERSHIP

Knowledge exchangeFrom pilots to scaleTechnical advocacyTechnical assistance

Growing prosperity, urbanization, food, and climate change require:

• Accurate location of land, people and resources with Geospatial information

• Transparent and inclusive institutions

We need strong collaboration between national and local governments, the private sector, civil society and international partners

Geospatial tools fundamental to support global efforts in poverty elimination and boosting shared prosperity

We look forward to a strong partnership with GEO and its members
