This chairmanship sits within a broader African momentum: South Africa (UN-GGIM co-chair), Cameroon (co-chair, UN-IGIF High-Level Group) and C\u00f4te d&rsquo;Ivoire (co-chair, Subcommittee on Geodesy).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>IGIF implementation and national CAPs<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The report&rsquo;s Country Action Plan (CAP) tracking table covers twelve countries at varying stages \u2014 Burkina Faso and Ethiopia completed in 2022, Cameroon and Senegal in 2024, C\u00f4te d&rsquo;Ivoire underway, several others in progress or early stage. Morocco does not appear in the table; the blog notes that ANCFCC is instead preparing its own <strong>2030 Strategy and Action Plan<\/strong>, assigned in late 2025 to the consultancy Southbridge A&amp;I, with results eagerly anticipated. Publishing that strategy, the post argues, would let Morocco turn its regional chairmanship into a national demonstration \u2014 matching the transparency other countries show in their CAP tracking.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Data sovereignty and critical infrastructure \u2014 the missing lens<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The report&rsquo;s six challenge areas (funding, advocacy\/buy-in, documentation, digital divide, stakeholder ownership, data-sharing policy) stay technical, without addressing <strong>geospatial data sovereignty<\/strong> or <strong>critical infrastructure<\/strong> (reference geodesy, land-system cybersecurity, control over foundational data) \u2014 themes central to Morocco&rsquo;s own AI-and-trusted-governance submission to item 6 of the 16th session. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The post also flags the need for a shared quantitative maturity tool across countriesn, an <strong>African Geospatial Development Index (AGDI)<\/strong> \u2014 comparable to the global GKI Readiness Index \u2014 as a natural addition to the Gi4SD continental action plan revision expected in December 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>ANCFCC&rsquo;s dual role<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The agency is both Morocco&rsquo;s national land\/cadastre\/mapping authority and the institutional home of the regional chair. Its National Land Strategy and its 2030 Strategy and Action Plan therefore function not just as internal modernization, but \u2014 in connection with the recent HCP reform, CRTS activity, and the AI component of Maroc Digital 2030 \u2014 as a national lever supporting continental leadership. The focus shifts from volume metrics (parcels registered, titles issued, maps produced) toward decision-relevant knowledge and continental leadership.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Old challenges, still relevant<\/strong> <\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The six implementation constraints echo long-standing concerns, particularly documentation access \u2014 a challenge shared across regions; the post credits Morocco&rsquo;s contribution to Arabic translation of IGIF documentation within UN-GGIM: Arab States.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>A busy calendar to 2027<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Twelfth UN-GGIM: Africa session (Addis Ababa, Oct. 2026, theme <em>\u00ab\u00a0Seeing Africa Clearly\u00a0\u00bb<\/em>); third UNWGIC (Nov. 2026); a governance framework with ministerial engagement (Dec. 2026); the African Union Heads of State Summit (Feb. 2027); an African Geospatial Summit (Apr. 2027); thirteenth session in Tunis (Oct. 2027).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h3 class=\"wp-block-heading\"><strong>Closing note \u2014 communication<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>The post ends by calling for outreach beyond the geospatial community itself, reaching all development stakeholders at country and (sub-)regional level \u2014 citing a recent ASLI-organized webinar as a model.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Le 3 ao\u00fbt 2026, en ouverture des travaux pr\u00e9paratoires \u00e0 la seizi\u00e8me session d&rsquo;UN-GGIM \u00e0 New York, Kamal Outghouliast, Pr\u00e9sident&#8230; <a class=\"continue-reading-link\" href=\"https:\/\/gtopic.net\/blog\/2026\/09\/01\/la-12e-session-de-un-ggim-africa-en-vue-dun-cadre-de-gouvernance\/\">Suite<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":1,"featured_media":18007,"comment_status":"closed","ping_status":"closed","sticky":true,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[139,554,6,154,218,551,552],"tags":[56,567,149,666],"class_list":["post-17975","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-cooperation","category-fela","category-geomatique-2","category-gouvernance-fonciere","category-information-geospatiale","category-un-ggim","category-un-igif","tag-ancfcc","tag-gouvernance-geospatiale","tag-maroc","tag-un-ggim-african-12"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/gtopic.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17975","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/gtopic.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/gtopic.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gtopic.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/1"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gtopic.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=17975"}],"version-history":[{"count":44,"href":"https:\/\/gtopic.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17975\/revisions"}],"predecessor-version":[{"id":18032,"href":"https:\/\/gtopic.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/17975\/revisions\/18032"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gtopic.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/18007"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/gtopic.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=17975"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gtopic.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=17975"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/gtopic.net\/blog\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=17975"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
