LAPAN creates the platform to disseminate information related to spatial distribution of Covid-19 risk. Urgent needs for implementation of the regional space Plan of Action

• We propose RESAP member countries to discuss on how to augment digital innovations including Artificial Intelligence, Internet of Things, and to engage end users across multiple sectors, as well as from among the youth and the private sector, particularly in: • Strengthening institutional capacities to address the geospatial information applications in SDGs to support Industry 4.0. • Providing awareness of space and geoinformatics technology roles in policy level. • Several meetings have been conducted before the Covid-19 pandemic, i.e.: • The inception meeting on “Improving the use and sharing of geospatial information for resilient and sustainable development” (Jakarta, 24-26 July 2019) • The first bilateral (consultation) meeting between LAPAN and GISTDA (Bangkok, 28 August 2019). • The second bilateral meeting between LAPAN and GISTDA (Si Racha, 27 November 2019). Support to be provided to the secretariat (technical, HR and financial) and other RESAP members

• Support to be provided to the secretariat and other RESAP members: • Knowledge and experience exchange • Implementation of the pilot project • Sharing results of the project implementation • Support needed from the secretariat is facilitation for: • Researchers/engineers visit • UN ESCAP experts visit • Capacity building Closing remarks

• Some of the information products and reports are available in http://pusfatja.lapan.go.id/, https://psta.lapan.go.id/, and http://pussainsa.lapan.go.id/. • LAPAN is currently developing the national research priority platform called PLATYPUS. This platform is expected to provide monitoring information to support the achievement of the SDGs targets. At this time, sub-platforms of disaster, forestry, and agricultural product information have been developed. lapan.go.id
