The World Bank funded a consultancy assignment to an international consultant Dr Lesley Arnold from Australia to formulate the way forward towards establishing a NSDI for Sri Lanka in 2014. She conducted many workshops and discussions with the stakeholders and produce three documents (a) Sri Lanka Spatial Data Infrastructure Framework and (b) Powering Decision Making and Innovation using spatial information technologies and (c) Sri Lanka Spatial Data Infrastructure Road Map. These three documents are very valuable in the development of the NSDI. 22-11-2017
