The mission allowed SEGEPLAN, CONRED and other government agencies to re-establish the inter-institutional, geospatial team (GT-SIGER) that had been established in 2011 as a recommendation of the technical advisory mission.  

More than 350 updated VCI and SVI maps were provided to participants from these institutions. Several institutions gave continuity to the SEWS-D project, now also involving the Research Centre of SIECA.   Besides it was established a collaborative work between CEPREDENAC and UN-SPIDER to provide visibility to the SEWS-D project in Central America.
