The Centre is organized into three functional divisions; Remote Sensing (Geo-information) and Environmental Management Programme, Human Resources Programme and Surveys, Mapping & Land Information Programme.

The operations of the Centre are funded in major part by contributions from contracting member States. In addition, development partners support some programs. As regards the management, the Governing Council (GC) which is composed of the officials of the rank of Permanent Secretary or its equivalent representing contracting member States form the main policy and management organ of the Centre. The Governing Council meets every end of the calendar year to assess the progress for that particular year and approve the programme for the following year as well as address any management and policy issues.

The Remote Sensing, Geographical Information Systems and Mapping Department focuses on increasing the awareness in Remote sensing and GIS related issues.

“Generation, application and dissemination of land surveys and management technologies, products and services in the member States and beyond”.
Land Administration is an implementation of land-related policies and land management strategies that help ensure social equality, economic growth, and environmental protection. Modern Land Administration Systems facilitate sustainable development through public participation and informed and accountable government decision-making in relation to the built and natural environments. The land administration functions are based on, and are facilitated by appropriate land information infrastructure that include cadastral and topographic data sets and provide access to complete and up-to-date information of the built and natural environment.
