MyGDI Governance

MyGDI Management Governance Structure

Malaysia Geospatial Data Infrastructure (MyGDI) is a government initiative to develop geospatial data infrastructure to raise awareness regarding data availability and enhance access to geospatial information. 

This is achieved through smart geospatial data-sharing strategies among the participating data-provider agencies. MyGDI, as the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) for Malaysia, comprises a geospatial data infrastructure that encompasses principles, policies, standards, technological research and development, and human capital expertise.
