• Socialist Countries sometimes have no private property system (Tanzania)
• No Property Record means no Loan-Collateral
• No Loans means no Credit for Tuition, business start up costs, Farm-Credit for seed, fertilizer
• Solution: Build Property Boundaries from Scratch, then attach them to a person, transfer-able title, and a financial legal system
Peruvian Development Economist de Soto explains how the break down of this in the US led to the Financial Crisis (think OTC MBSs)

Challenge Questions:
• What SDG does your organization work towards or contribute to?
• What Spatial-Data or Information does (or could) your organization use in its work towards that SDG?
• How would (or does) GIS help you measure and/or manage your organization’s context, activities, or impact on that SDG?
• Sustaining GIS in Your Organization: Do Your Donors and Management Understand how it can stretch public funds further OR broaden and deepen impact / dollar? – How does this get articulated?
GIS and You…

Sustaining GIS in Your Organization:
• $$$ - Unless you’re private sector, it begins and ends with Donors
• Do Your Donors and Management Understand how GIS is contributing to your organization’s goals / objectives?
• it can stretch public funds further OR broaden and deepen impact / dollar? – How does this get articulated?
