Spatial Data Infrastructure for the Americas (SDI-CA)

Spatial Data Infrastructure for the Americas (SDI-CA) is a collaborative framework that provides access to geographic information across countries in the Americas. It enables governments, organizations, and the public to share, access, and use spatial data—such as maps, satellite images, and geographic tools—more efficiently. This promotes better decision-making in areas like environmental management, urban planning, disaster response, and resource allocation by ensuring consistent, reliable, and interoperable geographic information across the region. In essence, SDI-CA helps facilitate seamless sharing of geographic data to support regional development and cooperation.
