The Parliament of the Federation of BiH Adopts the Spatial Data Infrastructure Strategy of FBiH for the Period 2023 – 2027
After the Government of the Federation of Bosnia and Herzegovina adopted the Spatial Data Infrastructure Strategy of the Federation of BiH (SDI FBiH) for the period 2023 – 2027 at a session held on October 4, 2023, both chambers of the Parliament of the Federation of BiH passed a decision formally confirming and adopting this strategic document.
The SDI FBiH Strategy 2023 – 2027 is a key multi-sectoral document that contributes to improving the availability, interoperability, and quality of spatial data. Its primary objectives include defining priority activities and projects that will enable more efficient use of spatial data in public administration, the private sector, and the academic community, facilitate digital transformation, and ensure compliance with EU directive requirements.
The process of drafting the Strategy began on July 14, 2022, with the Decision of the Government of FBiH No. V:1077/2022. The leading institutions responsible for its development are the Federal Administration for Geodetic and Real Property Affairs and the SDI FBiH Council, in accordance with the Law on the Spatial Data Infrastructure of FBiH. The drafting process involved public authorities responsible for spatial data, as well as relevant socio-economic partners.
The implementation of the Strategy will be carried out through three-year and annual work plans, the Framework Budget Document, and the FBiH budget, as well as through the Public Investment Program. Its realization will enable better management of spatial data, increased accessibility, and more efficient use in decision-making, economic development, and environmental protection.
Upon entering into force, the Spatial Data Infrastructure Strategy of the Federation of BiH 2023 – 2027 becomes the key framework for the coordinated development of spatial data in the Federation of BiH, thereby contributing to strengthening institutional capacities, more efficient resource management, and enhancing regional and international cooperation in the field of geoinformatics.
