The GRID3 Nigeria technological platform provides a single point of reference and central authoritative source for geographical datasets common to all national programs.

The government can  collect, share and maintain  data.  International organizations, NGOs and civil society can better understand population distribution and the location of key features; administrative boundaries, settlements, health and safety services, education centers, public facilities, and water and sanitation amenities.

This improved understanding fosters better planning of public services and targeting of resources.

A set of tools has been developed to automate most of the data management technical tasks and to publish the curated data on the dissemination platform.
After an extensive capacity building phase, national staff have now gained full control of the operations and maintenance of the solution.
