We provide comprehensive training for volunteers, university students,
youth, and secondary school students, focusing on geoscience and the
application of geospatial technology for mapping natural disasters,
climate change adaptation, environmental monitoring, and biodiversity
conservation in Timor-Leste.
Our mission is to contribute to a future for Timor-Leste where a new
generation of creative and highly skilled youth are empowered with
expertise in utilizing geospatial technology to address the country’s
challenges and opportunities.
Mapping Programs
G-SIG's core focus lies in conducting research and mapping natural
disasters in Timor-Leste, leveraging advanced geospatial technology and
open-source software for geospatial solutions.
We actively collaborate with volunteer organizations in research and
mapping initiatives. Furthermore, we partner with international agencies
on humanitarian efforts, providing digital mapping services for disaster
response activities and monitoring the impacts of climate change and
drought through a dedicated Digital Mapping Platform.
QGIS & ARCGIS Programs
The field of Geographic Information Systems (GIS) remains
relatively new in Timor-Leste. Our efforts are dedicated to
advancing the development and application of GIS within the
country. Through our programs, we aspire to empower our young
people and individuals in Timor-Leste to utilize GIS technology for
mapping areas of interest or significance. This initiative aims to
provide Timor-Leste with accurate and up-to-date data to support
informed decision-making by policymakers and relevant
institutions.
