Pan Government Agreement (PGA)
IGGI has established the Pan-Government Agreement (PGA) to encourage central government's use of GI in policy, decision making and delivering information services for citizens.
The PGA offers members a portfolio of core GI data and has proved to be a catalyst for GI growth within government since its launch in 2003.
The key aims of the PGA are to:
- meet government's requirements for core geographic information;
- facilitate data sharing, both within the PGA community and with others, in order to effectively carry out government business; and
- deliver value for money.
If you are interested in realising the benefits of PGA in your workplace, and your organisation is not listed below, find out if you are eligible to become a PGA member.
This page provides more information on the PGA beyond April 2009.
If you are interested in finding out more about the PGA, or wish to understand if your organisation is eligible to join, please contact the PGA team via info@iggi.gov.uk.
