Creating a Nationwide Digital Cadastre in Barbados 

Overview
​​​​​​​
The National Digital Parcel Fabric (NDPF) for Barbados project was a collaborative effort between the Ministry of Industry, Innovation, Science and Technology (MIST), the Lands and Surveys Department, and Martin Newby Consulting Ltd. (MNC). This webinar will focus on how this project transformed the land administration system of Barbados, creating a sustainable, nationwide digital cadastre that addressed both existing inefficiencies and growing demands. 


Attendees will learn about the tools, methodologies, and strategies used to create this digital parcel fabric and the project’s impact on land management, economic development, and future governance. Join us to discover how similar regions can leverage geographic approaches to streamline parcel management workflows and avoid common obstacles. 

Barbados Creates a Digital Parcel Fabric to Modernize Their Land Administration  
The Government of Barbados was seeking to modernize their Land Administration processes starting with the creation of a national cadastre, containing approx. 126,000 parcels. The project was the National Digital Parcel Fabric (NDPF) and the goal was to create a single, complete, trusted, and sustainable digital cadastre for Barbados using ArcGIS Pro. This presentation will share the journey of creating a nationwide digital cadastre in Barbados, featuring project insights, benefits, hurdles, and the Barbados user perspective within the Land Administration Modernization Program (LAMP).
