GIS and Remote Sensing Directorate was established to develop and manage GIS-based National Land Information System for Sierra Leone (NLIS). The NLIS will serve as one-stop-shop for all land property information, which will include properties under freehold and family/customary tenure system and other spatial information. In addition, it coordinates the acquisition and sharing of geo-information among producers & users, and develops and manages National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI) for Sierra Leone. The Directorate also provides technical support for national land use mapping and spatial planning.
