Good morning, I have only four minutes to introduce everything, including maybe myself. So my name is Akbar, I'm a GIS officer working in United Nations mission in South Sudan. We are peacekeeping organization and this is the first time that we are using a story
00:25
map or geostory in peacekeeping to showcase our achievements using the open source technology. So I'm not going to read all the UNMIS mandates according to the Security Council resolutions,
00:42
but mainly our mandate is to protect civilian creating condition of delivery of humanitarian assistance supporting the implementation of the agreements, monitoring investigation, etc. So far the gateway to public was mostly using like social media, YouTube, Facebook,
01:06
but scattered here and there, but with these new solutions we are able to bring everything in one platform like the geo solution provided to us. I will tell you the story how we went through the official bids and procurement process
01:24
to select the service provider. So in UN we have different, several strategies for data strategy from the secretary general. We have some other initiatives regarding misinformation, disinformation, how sometimes UN troops they
01:43
become a target by armed actors. Of course we are having UN open GIS and we have several other activities which together with these mandates which I showed you in the previous slide is dictating us how to
02:01
use geostory for communication and public information. So this use case, I'm not going to technical things, but to just tell you how we use this one and in future we will try to engage more with the private companies or community in open source society to make a kind of contract and offer them kind of projects.
02:25
So of course it's very much necessary for the companies to be registered in UN procurement system, otherwise like this project they should be informed, but if they are not registered they cannot attend anything. So this is the general view.
02:44
Of course this is based on Geonote, all of you know already how it works. The difference is we are hosting the solution in UN, Microsoft Azure Cloud and finally
03:01
we tried and successfully tested using WMS service of our UN maps which is hosted in our global support centre in Italy. And of course for this reason we selected the vendor or service provider to give us
03:22
the solution and the entire thing. So our role mainly was to set up all these things together and we have different types of clients. This is how it looks like, one of the stories.
03:46
So this is one of the stories, it should go through all clearance from public information from cartographic unit, from cyber security etc. And then finally it will be publicly available.
04:02
Right now it's accessible only through the UN internet. So this is one story, another story is about cleared mine hazard area in 2021. And of course it has dashboard and I think you saw it in the others, but the use case
04:22
itself, for us to bring this data all together and make it available to public, thank you.
