United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation (USGIF) 2007 Geospatial Achievement Award

Presented at Hall of Fame Dinner on 24 OCT 07; largest IC conference of the year; over 3,000 attendees and 130 companies Dr. Swen Johnson was recognized with this prestigious geospatial academic research award for developing innovative methods of blending the social sciences with recent advances made in geospatial predictive technology to help address some of the US intelligence community’s most challenging intelligence problems in tactical and operational environments. Backed up by the Naval Research Laboratory, fellow academic social scientists, geospatial and military colleagues, Dr. Johnson founded Socio-Cultural Intelligence Analysis, Inc. and dedicated himself to creating Human Terrain Analysis Teams across the Department of Defense. His teams’ empirical, quantitative, and group-based sociological focus have transformed traditional geo-spatial models of human behavior into more accurate “geo-social” models, bringing GEOINT to the cutting edge of intelligence analysis.

The United States Geospatial Intelligence Foundation (USGIF) is the only organization dedicated to promoting the geospatial intelligence tradecraft and building a stronger community of interest across industry, academia, government, professional organizations and individual stakeholders.

As a not-for-profit educational foundation, USGIF strives to bring together the community at-large and support life-long learning that will ensure a robust cadre of professionals and a healthy tradecraft now and in the future.

UNAMA key Role

 

    UNAMA’s key role is to promote peace and stability in Afghanistan by leading the efforts of the international community. Together with the Government of Afghanistan the Mission supports the rebuilding of the country and the strengthening of the foundations of peace and a constitutional democracy. The UNAMA mandate from 2008 to 2009 remained defined by the previous resolutions 1662 (2006) and 1746 (2007). The 2008 resolution charged UNAMA and Kai Eide, the Special Representative of the Secretary-General, to lead civilian efforts to:
* Strengthen cooperation with the International Security Assistance Force (ISAF);
* Provide political outreach through a strengthened and expanded presence throughout the country;

* Provide good offices in support of Afghan-led reconciliation programmes;
* Support efforts to improve governance and the rule of law and  to combat corruption;
* Play a central coordinating role to facilitate the delivery of humanitarian aid;
* Monitor the human rights situation of civilians and coordinate human rights protection;
* Support the electoral process through the Independent Election Commission of Afghanistan;
* Support regional cooperation in working for a more stable and prosperous Afghanistan.

    On 19 November 1946 Afghanistan was admitted as a member of the United Nations. The UN has a long history in the country, most especially during the years of conflict and since the end of 2001, with many of its major agencies playing a key role in the country’s development and provision of humanitarian assistance.    UN agencies and programmes work with many counterparts, national and international NGOs and partners, and recognize the lead role played by the Government of Afghanistan.

MEDIA : Afghanistan’s Election Commission has confirmed the planned run-off ballot has been cancelled as UN General Secretary Ban Ki-Moon visits the country.

“Those who gave their lives … came to Afghanistan armed not with guns or bullets. They came with a more powerful weapon – hope. Hope for a better day for Afghanistan and a commitment to help its people build a better world and a better future. We will not be deterred from this noble mission. We stand by the people of Afghanistan today, and we will do so tomorrow.”

Secretary-General Ban Ki-moon, UN Headquarters, 28 October 2009
