Welcome to the KNSDI website | Karibu! | Free Remote sensing and GIS Course more info.. The Kenya National Spatial Data Infrastructure (KNSDI) is a national initiative to provide better access for all Kenyans to essential information about our national resources. It aims to ensure that users of this information will be able to acquire consistent datasets to meet their requirements, even though the data is collected and maintained by different stakeholders. The implementation of the KNSDI requires a solid infrastructure based on policy and administrative arrangements, people and technology, and a means by which spatial data is made accessible to the users. This infrastructure can be compared to services infrastructures, such as road, rail and electricity networks. The concept of the KNSDI is to establish a clearing house for geo-information, to ensure that the distributed network of databases managed by individual stakeholders is accessible. Vision To provide a national infrastructure for access and use of geospatial information in decision making at local, regional and national levels for sustainable development. Mission Promote the production, sharing and use of geospatial information for sustainable development Objectives To develop national policy, institutional framework and administrative arrangements that provide mechanisms for data sharing and co-ordination of the development of geospatial datasets To eliminate wastage of resources and duplication in the production of geospatial information To develop acceptable standards for data, production and distribution To develop a solution  for easy discovery and access of geospatial data To promote and co-ordinate national participation in international initiatives on the development of regional and global spatial data infrastructures
