The core part of the agreement is the in-kind grant of up to 1000 ESRI GIS software packages to cities in developing countries as well as online training on the software free of charge. In addition, ESRI agreed to deliver GIS software to UN-HABITAT offices under the same conditions. Within UN-HABITAT, the Global Urban Observatory Section (GUO) was given the responsibility to implement the MoU.
