Moldova: improving through project Geo Codex

Geo Codex is a collaborative project that supports Moldova in building a more transparent and democratic society. The project focuses on enhancing Moldova’s National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI). This will strengthen the country’s legal and institutional alignment with the EU standards. This alignment not only supports Moldova’s aspirations for EU integration, but also ensures compliance with broader EU regulations. These steps are vital for creating a more open, efficient, and accountable public sector. 

More about this project

Through training and collaboration, Geo Codex brings together government officials, academics, and civil society representatives. Incorporating Dutch expertise and experience, the project creates a solid foundation for better governance and public service delivery. The legal compliance and institutional improvements will bring significant benefits to Moldovan citizens. The project aims to address pressing environmental and societal issues while promoting transparency and accountability in public administration. More specifically:

  • Promote data sharing and interoperability between government entities and other sectors.
  • Facilitate in-country and cross-border collaboration to tackle regional challenges and share best practices in geospatial data usage.
  • Ensure legal compliance with EU standards, particularly INSPIRE, its Data Governance Act, the Interoperability Europe Act and the EU’s Open Data Directive, to enhance Moldova’s integration prospects.
  • Support evidence-based policymaking by utilising geospatial data for improved governance.
  • Enhance transparency and civic engagement by making geospatial data accessible to citizens and businesses.
  • Improved legal and institutional frameworks to support cross-border and in-country cooperation in spatial data infrastructure.
  • Accelerated accessibility, harmonization and standardization of spatial data through legal compliance with EU standards to enhance public sector efficiency.
  • Increased civic engagement and cross-sector utilization of spatial data to promote democratic and evidence-based governance.

The following partners are members of the Geo Codex consortium:

  • The Hague Academy for Local Governance (THA)
  • University of Twente, Faculty ITC
  • KU Leuven
