Details

The National Centre for Statistics and Information provides a number of geospatial data that could be navigated through web-based and mobile apps.

The GeoPlatform App provides users with the ability to view graphic and satellite maps and overlay different informational geographic and social layers. There are also other apps that focus on specific layers such as government services.

Viewing the maps does not require any registration and is available for free. Downloading the data requires registration which involves a manual activation and cannot be completed entirely online. It could not be confirmed if machine-readable data could be downloaded or the extent to which data could be downloaded in bulk.
