GTOS Data and Information Management Plan

Abstract
October, 1998

The overall GTOS Implementation Plan (1998) lays out the elements of the GTOS programme and assigns levels of priority to the activities to be undertaken. The management of data and information, from data collection through to the production of information products for policy and decision making, is clearly a key element of GTOS and, in response to this imperative, there are a number of activities identified as “very important to be acted upon as quickly as possible”. These include the development of a GTOS Data and Information Plan, and the development and implementation of a number of data-related policies. This document is a response to those priorities.

Additional copies are available on request from the GTOS secretariat: gtos@fao.org.
