While the overall focus of the training, was developing a hands-on understanding of web-based geospatial solutions adopted at ICIMOD, specific sessions focused on migrating data from an existing static installation of map based information system into a GIS based platform.
Vishwas Chitale and Rajan Bajracharya, with Geospatial Solutions, led the week-long training, along with other members from the Geospatial Solutions showcasing relevant case studies. 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.
