Following up from achievements of SEMIS I and
recognizing the need for follow-up support; SEMIS I achievements: Core datasets; conceptual
database design; technical capacity for data exchange
Considering the request by Greater Mekong Sub-
region (GMS-WGE-4) in Mar ’98, and endorsement by
ministerial meeting in Sep’98, ADB approved SEMIS-
II in Dec ’99
Background
…to help GMS governments to make informed decisions regarding sustainable development through
Integrated Economic and Environmental Development Planning
Regi

Assess the availability of useful and relevant data for planning
purposes;
Increase and strengthen the capacity of the national Governments
to collect and process the information/data;
Increase the capacity of national Governments to make informed
decisions regarding development investments relating to
sustainable utilization of natural resources;
Enhance the ability of GMS national Governments to conduct
integrated economic and environmental planning with relevant
data; and
Conduct, store, manipulate, and share actual integrated planning
information using the data collected in pilot projects for some
“Hotspot” areas, such as those identified in TA 5783--REG: SEF-
GMS.

Early Warning Information Systems (EWIS)
It is product of the SEMIS I project, which involves a fairly complete database of important GIS layers like
Environment (Forest, Rivers, Wetlands etc.)
Demographic data (Population, Poverty etc.)
Infrastructure (Road, Dams etc.)
and some other ancillary information (layers)
The data is provided in different scales (1:1M, 1:5M and 1:250K) depending on the layer and the source. The data was generated by UNEP RRC.AP along with the help of MRC, WWF and other international agencies. The national agencies were the major source for the local data layers.
