DESCRIPTION:UN Open GIS Initiative\, established in March 2016\, is to iden
 tify and develop an Open Source GIS bundle that meets the requirements of 
 UN operations\, taking full advantage of the expertise of contributing par
 tners (Member States\, international organizations\, academia\, NGO’s an
 d private sector).\n\nGeospatial Information Systems (GIS) has been played
  a substantial role in providing timely and effective geospatial informati
 on products (maps and dynamic tools) to ensure the United Nations operatio
 ns are equipped with suitable information to support the UN mandates throu
 gh informed planning and decision-making processes. The UN has been using 
 proprietary GIS software for the past two decades. The rapid growth and de
 velopment of open-source GIS solutions present the technological potential
 \, operational flexibility and financial benefits as well as easy to acces
 s for UN operational partners and host nations. \n\nIn view of complexity 
 and variety of UN operational demands and the outcome and lessons learned 
 from the UN Open GIS Initiative\, it is identified to develop a hybrid GIS
  platform that the users should be able to access the most suitable soluti
 ons to fulfil the operational demands in flexible and cost effective manne
 r whether the solutions are open source or proprietary\, combination of bo
 th and/or complement each other. The hybrid model lets coexist two softwar
 e stacks\, one open source based\, the other proprietary\, which renders d
 ifferent services to end users and applications. \n\nSignificant progress 
 has been made so far in developing open source-based GIS solutions such as
  Hybrid Geospatial Database\, GeoPortal\, Analytical models/ applications\
 , Data collection and Optimized/innovated applications for harmonizing ope
 n source technology with proprietary as well as open GIS trainings to the 
 UN staff for smooth transition from proprietary to hybrid GIS platform tec
 hnology.\n\nIn particular\, it will provide an overall update on what has 
 been achieved by the UN Open GIS Initiative during the past year\, such as
  hybrid GIS architecture\, mobile GIS solution\, story map project\, field
  application of OpenDroneMap and UN Vector Tile toolkit as well as the cap
 acity building activities.
