UN-GGIM: User CASE STUDY
Central Informatics and
Telecommunications Organisation (CITO)
GIS Directorate
Kingdom of Bahrain
GIS Directorate on behalf of the National GIS Steering
Committee (NGISSC) has delivered the Bahrain Spatial
Data Infrastructure (BSDI) in order to provide accurate
online information from a single, secure accessible
centralized GIS Database.
Planning and executing projects were hard since data
sharing and systems integration were absent and the 42
government cells were using GIS individually in many data
formats and national standards were not available for
adoption in executing new projects..
Therefore in order to improve national projects
management and increase efficiencies, BSDI was
deployed to centralize GIS data distribution at national
level. Achievement of this centralization and sharing of GIS
information resulted in:
o Proper planning at initial stage by all stake holders
o Saving time, cost & effort
o Economically beneficial by reducing infrastructure
clash
o Executing projects on time
o Improved quality of produced data

The return on investment (ROI) is real and demonstrable and includes:
• 75% reduction in time of service delivery to end-users.
• 60% reduction in cost of data creation and maintenance
• Private sectors projects streamlined significantly.
• More commitment of stakeholders and various levels.
• Move from Silo-based information into a corporate knowledge base.
• To reduce Total Cost of Ownership of Technology.
• Enterprise Spatial Intelligence Platform.
GIS Directorate on behalf of the National GIS Clearing House Committee has developed a high quality geospatial
application system (E-Wayleave Clearance Operation System) in order to increase efficiency and improve governance by
automating the manual clearance operation process of the Wayleave.
The WayLeave approval for new or maintenance infrastructure projects on public properties in Bahrain has so far been
manual and resulted in duplication of efforts and isolation in Wayleave approval decision making, indefinite approval time
ranging between 3 months to 2 years approximately, huge amount of manual paper work, WayLeave documents lost during
the approval process, lack of up to date and accurate supporting information required for approval of a way leave.
E-WayLeave application enabled the stakeholders to manage their WayLeaves by allowing them to create, search,
comment, track, edit, print and approve WayLeaves. The project has a very strong integration with spatial technology and is
unique in the sense that it shares the policies and Data access rights from BSDI to access central GIS data repository. The
automation achieved through the Project has tremendously improved the WayLeave Approval Cycle by considerably
decreasing the approval time and increasing the approval confidence.

Kingdom of Bahrain: E-WayLeave Clearance Operation
System
The System supports additional functionality of reducing risk by
providing proper information at all stages of the life cycle of the e-
WayLeave. The System has in fact made the Government to
Government data transmission and services more accountable,
flexible and standardized which in turn had tremendously
increased the decision making capabilities of the organizations
thus improving the equilibrium of governance by Bahrain

Example of the work flow and management of E-Way Leave
Kingdom of Bahrain: E-WayLeave Clearance
Operation System The return on investment (ROI) is real and demonstrable and includes:
o WayLeave Request Creation – From 4 Wayleaves requests,
increased to around 10/15 per day
o Distribution of WayLeave – From a couple of days to
instantaneous delivery
o Lost WayLeave Request – Eliminated.
o WayLeave Approval – From several months to within 5 days
provided it satisfies all requirements.
o Approval Confidence – Old system all supporting documents
and data were not available to the approving Officer Approval
Confidence Low. The Current system makes all spatial
supporting data available to the Office thereby increasing the
approval confidence.
o WayLeave Tracking – Allows the user to track a WayLeave
request and Monitor its Approval Process within and outside
the Lifecycle of the WayLeave request.
o GIS Data Sharing – Cross Platform GIS Data is currently
being shared through the e-WayLeave System making the
entire WayLeave Approval Process much more organized and
efficient.
o Part of its strategic objectives for Geo-enabling government, GIS Directorate of Central Informatics and
Telecommunications Organisation (CITO), Kingdom of Bahrain has successfully developed GIS application to Public
Commission for Protection of Marine Resource, Environment and Wildlife (PMEW) to enable them to better achieve their
rules and responsibilities. PMEW has the key mission to assist the Government of the Kingdom of Bahrain to maintain and
manage environment, natural resources, marine resources, wildlife and biodiversity in the Kingdom.

Protection of Marine Resource, Environment & Wildlife (PMEW)
o PMEW has been collecting and maintaining huge volume of
natural resource and marine data. However in absence of a
uniform platform it was difficult to share this information within
internal and external stakeholders for planning and analysis.
The application developed collates all the data and brings all
these valuable information to the users for effective decision
making.
o The application assists PMEW in its business objective to
manage, assess, plan and control environmental, marine &
natural resources and to establish a basic GIS capability in
the Organization

Return-on-Investment (ROI):
• Environmental friendly planning
• Reduced financial loss on relocation
• Improved operation and environmental governance
• Unified platform for planning and decision making
• Sharing of environmental information with internal and external
stakeholders.
