At the UN regional offices, geocorporatics determine what resources to allocate to, say the Africa Regional office as apposed to the Europe office. This is because the Africa offices, owing to its geographical and demographical context, will a require different budget, different specialists, different equipment.
In fact, due to geocorporatics, these two offices (Africa and Europe) will not be treated the same way, even thought they are have the same caliber in a de jure sense.
