The International Institute for Sustainable Development (IIDS) further argues that sustainable development is an integrated process for decision-making that requires information for it to be accomplished. Inherent in the idea of sustainable development are aspects such as democratic values, community participation, international collaboration and strong leadership. A wide diversity of information is required to reflect an integrated approach to sustainable development. Agenda 21 is the foundational document of sustainable development and sets out a global action plan. The New Partnership for African Development (NEPAD) similarly embraces the need for sustainable development and has formulated actions that have to be taken on the African continent. This paper proposes the development of an information framework for sustainable development in South Africa and discusses the country's ability to provide the information required to address actions stipulated in Agenda 21. As part of this framework, indicators needed to implement and monitor sustainable development are discussed and the inherent value of spatial information for the implementation of sustainable development is touched on.  aAdult  aSouth Africa  2New Partnership for Africa's Development  Economic policy  Africa  aN0n-fiction9192505  21017354139  aMike de Clerk, Human Sciences Research Council Publishers, comPress, Print24.com9192506  cJOURNAL 2ddcy12663zPriscilla Nozizwe Mogale  c445678d445676  00104070aTHEMLbTHEMLd2021-08-23g64.00l0p33228022698235r2021-08-23w2021-08-23yBK  00102ddc40708300aMKHULbMKHULcNon_Fictiond2025-03-14g64.00l0o338.927 SCHWp33228 017945930r2025-03-14w2025-03-14yJOURNAL
