Geospatial and Statistics for Sustainable Development with Rolando Ocampo
In this episode of Mapping the Conversations, Valrie Grant is joined by Rolando Ocampo, the Chief of the Statistics Division at UN ECLAC, for a deep dive into the intersection of statistics and geospatial intelligence. Rolando shares his journey and extensive experience, including his work at Mexico’s National Institute of Statistics and Geography (INEGI), to his leadership roles
in the geospatial community, including his time as President of UN-GGIM Americas. His journey offers a unique perspective on the vital role that geospatial information plays in national and regional development, particularly in Latin America and the Caribbean. Beyond that his leadership in the geospatial community has had global impact.
Rolando discusses his leadership in mobilizing Caribbean nations to actively participate in global geospatial initiatives, highlighting a landmark capacity-building project that provided satellite imagery and technical support to 13 Caribbean countries. He also details his current work at UN-ECLAC, where he has been instrumental in integrating geospatial information with statistical data, creating an innovative data portal that allows users to visualize and interact with statistical information in new and impactful ways.
Looking to the future, Rolando envisions a world where geospatial and statistical disciplines are seamlessly integrated, driving sustainable development across
the globe. He emphasizes the importance of interoperability, collaboration, and continuous innovation in achieving this vision, while also offering practical
advice for young professionals entering the field. This conversation is a must-listen for anyone interested in the transformative potential of geospatial intelligence and its integration with statistics.
