8 Establishment of the Fiji Land Information System (FLIS) February 1991 Cabinet Decision No.33 of 1991 endorsed that: GOF adopt the National LIS Strategy as the prototype for LIS/GIS development in Fiji. Minister of Lands and Mineral Resources be responsible for the programme. FLIC to be established under the Chairmanship of Permanent Secretary for Lands and Mineral Resources 14 th Meeting of the Permanent Committee on GIS Infrastructure for Asia and the Pacific 8

9 Why FLIS? quality of land information in Govt. agencies? fragmented and stand-alone information gathering & storage cannot combine lack of access to land information led to duplication lack of knowledge - technology lack of land information (geospatial) resources available to meet current and future needs no standardisation cannot talk to each other lack of appropriately qualified and experience people in Govt. agencies sustainability and continuity? lack of funding etc. Need a CHAMPION to get things done and moving 14 th Meeting of the Permanent Committee on GIS Infrastructure for Asia and the Pacific 9
