The training covered basic concepts related to MIS, and designing, managing and maintaining spatial information. Special sessions were also dedicated to integrating and modifying the existing map-based information systems for migration into a GIS platform.
The partners also interacted with the web development team and were introduced to various geospatial web applications being developed for the different programmes within ICIMOD.
