Project for Capacity Development of Digital Basic State Mapping in Serbia

Background of the Project :

Establishing social infrastructure is one of the important issues in the Republic of Serbia. In addition, from the perspective of promoting foreign investment by neighboring and other EU countries, Serbia needs to change its existing spatial information standard for topographic maps to the world standard used in these countries. By the request of the Government of Serbia, JICA has started the technical cooperation project to strengthen RGA's capacity to create digital topographic maps, replacing from existing analog maps. In order to enable smooth technical transfer by Japanese experts and update the technical circumstance, JICA provides necessary equipment to RGA.
