Project details

As part of this AusAid finded institutional strengthening project, NGIS worked closely with various departments of the Fiji Dept of Mineral Resources, providing guidance on the selection and implementation of a GIS to meet their needs. After selecting an appropriate solution, NGIS created a project definition and scope document for AusAids approval, as well a project management plan detailing developmet priorities, timeframes and workplans.

NGIS' evaluated the department's current data collection and management process. On completing the evaluation NGIS provided guidance on the design of a GIS database (MapInfo) as well as procedures on how best to collect and manage data moving forward. NGIS also provided expert advice on remote sensing techniques.

Finally, to ensure the sustainability of the solution implemented, NGIS developed and conducted a MapInfo and ER Mapper training program and workshop and assisted with the production of a geoscience exploration data package.  

This project was funded by AusAID.
