The Regional Committee of United Nations Global Geospatial Information Management for the Arab States (UN-GGIM: Arab States) was established at the 4th Session of the UN-GGIM on August 2014, in accordance with Decision 4/111 which “endorsed the establishment of the Regional Committee of United Nations Global Geospatial Information Management for the Arab States”. The building process of UN-GGIM for the Arab States started with the Seminar on Regional Cooperation convened in Doha, Qatar, on 7 February, in the wake of the Second High Level Forum on GGIM. It continued with an informal regional side-meeting during the 3rd Session of UN-GGIM, held in Cambridge in July 2013, and the second preparatory meeting, held in Amman in February 2014, and culminated with the formal creation of the regional UN-GGIM-Arab States at the 4th Session of UN-GGIM in August 2014. The transitional committee is preparing the first official meeting to be held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, 24-25 February 2015, to elect a Bureau for the Committee and Chairs of Working Groups in order to lead its work for the next few years.
