By examining the case study of spatial data infrastructure (SDI) implementation in Pakistan and its relationship with information governance, this chapter contributed to a deeper understanding of how effective spatial data management can support information governance objectives. A feasibility study is ongoing to establish NSDI in Pakistan. Moreover, a provincial-level SDI under PULSE is also planned. However, challenges such as the absence of uniform standards, a poor technology setup, and a shortage of qualified manpower are associated with NSDI implementation in Pakistan. By enhancing data quality and consistency and facilitating data sharing & collaboration, NSDI Pakistan would strengthen information governance in Pakistan by supporting decisions as well as policymaking. The findings and recommendations will help policymakers and practitioners in Pakistan, as well as researchers interested in the fields of spatial data infrastructure and information governance, advance their understanding and implementation of these critical concepts.
