IGDP System is developed to overcome several constrains experienced by implementing agencies in the planning and monitoring of various national development projects including in the management of agriculture production,natural resources, environment, disaster, security and land development of the country. The main constrain is the absence of an integrated geospatial database on the relevant information at national level.

IGDP System and application packages utilizes the advantages of remote sensing technology in generating data and geospatial information, full geographic information system (GIS) analytical capabilities, Global Positioning System (GPS) and related technologies. The advantages of IGDP System are its integrated databases with standardised data (in terms of format, scale and level of mapping accuracies) are readily available for use (previously the databases are not readily available as they reside in different operational environment of various agencies); full geospatial analysis; and fast data and information dissemination through web-based for interagency on-line link.

The development of IGDP system spatial database at 1:50,000 scale which includes base data of agriculture, forestry, geology, coastal zoneand socio-economic were completed in 2007.
