The proposed Work Plan, which includes the Education Plan for 2025, was unanimously adopted by the SDI Council. At this session, the Council adopted the Communication Plan and the Framework Study for Spatial Data Licensing, which will be the basis for further action in SDI.

In accordance with the SDI Strategy for the period 2023-2027 and the Action plan for 2025, activities will continue in terms of increasing the number of stakeholders and available sources in order to raise the level of availability and interoperability of spatial data. Continuous work will be carried out on the implementation of the Law on SDI and other regulations, as well as the creation of a formal framework that will be the subject of future activities in the field of the SDI FBiH. Also, during the next period, the focus will be on improving existing technological frameworks, enhancing the development of network services based on existing spatial data sets, and promoting the importance of SDI through the implementation of a communication plan. During 2025, it was planned at least 4 sessions to accompany these activities.
