Jean-Claudy Pierre, Minister of Planning and External Cooperation, visited the National Center for Geo-Spatial Information (CNIGS) on July 24th. During this visit he met with Boby Emmanuel Piard, the Director General of the Center, about the day-to-day running of the CNIGS, current projects as well as the difficulties facing the Center.

Minister Pierre suggested to the Center to carry out activities that could allow a greater popularization of the data produced by the CNIGS so that they are better known and accessible to all sectors of national life, especially to students. He also expressed the wish that the CNIGS extend its field of expertise to the marine and air cartography of Haiti.

For his part, Piard stressed the need to develop closer relations with the technical directorates of the Ministry and other State entities to improve the quality of services provided to the population.
