UNBL workspaces
What are UNBL workspaces?
We recognize that national data is often higher quality and better suited to countries’ needs for decision-making, monitoring, and reporting. UNBL offers free workspaces to stakeholders who need a secure area to access and use spatial data. Our workspaces can serve as a common data repository, offer a collaborative work environment, and enable you to calculate dynamic indicators for a subnational or transboundary area of interest.
We encourage users to explore how UNBL workspaces can help you to build communities of practice to transform data to action.
What does a workspace provide?
Our UNBL workspaces offer the ability to:
- Manage membership and privileges in your secure workspace at the click of a button
- Upload regional, national, or local data layers to a secure UN server
- Upload shapes for any area of interest such as your official national boundary, a transboundary area, or a sub-national area
- Visualize your data in combination with any of UNBL’s global data layers
- View dynamic indicators for your area of interest
- Download maps, screen shots, and use the raw data for inclusion in official reports and communication products
