OneMap project works with government, civil society, ethnic groups and communities, to produce, enhance, and share high quality and accuracy data on land and other natural resources.
The open-access, online OneMap spatial data platform democratizes access to multi-sectoral data. It aims to function as an effective basis for transparent and accountable land governance and development planning by government and citizens.
By supporting government and civil society alike, OneMap provides space for multi-stakeholders based production and verification of key datasets, and thereby allows different perspectives on land to be equally represented.
