The Land Information Council of Jamaica

The Land Information Council of Jamaica was established by government in 1991 and is comprised of nine sub-committees. The Council is charged with the responsibility for coordinating and ensuring the implementation of the national land information policy and strategy and the national GIS network. The Council has begun to establish a frame-work to promote data sharing and to ensure compatibility among existing and proposed land information systems, in order to deliver better and more timely information to decision makers and users.

Our Mission

The LICJ is responsible for organizing and ensuring the development and maintenance of a national networked geographical information system for Jamaica, through the collaborative efforts of land and land related agencies. The network will provide data for the effective and efficient planning, management, use, distribution and development of the island’s land resources.
