Abstract
This brochure presents the information management platform MAP-X, detailing its benefits, functionalities, components, and operational scales. MAP-X is designed to revolutionize transparency in the extractives sector by providing a unified, open data platform that consolidates, validates, and visualizes concession-related information—including contracts, benefit-sharing agreements, and environmental impact assessments. Key functionalities include mapping concessions by type or status, identifying conflicting land uses, enabling real-time compliance monitoring, visualizing financial, social, and environmental indicators, and supporting interoperability with other geospatial data sets. Components consist of a normative data standard, interactive data workflows, and a robust capacity-building program for stakeholders.
