The gov­ern­ment of Antigua and Bar­bu­da launched their NEIS (Nation­al Envi­ron­men­tal Infor­ma­tion Sys­tem) and NRI (Nat­ur­al Resource Inven­to­ry) to sup­port their report­ing to MEAs (Mul­ti­lat­er­al Envi­ron­men­tal Agree­ments). DE and Caribbean part­ner, MGI, were select­ed to con­cep­tu­al­ize and build the linked sys­tems. 

The coun­try has cel­e­brat­ed the launch of this new plat­form as it will pro­vide crit­i­cal infor­ma­tion to sup­port safe­guard­ing the remark­able nat­ur­al her­itage that Antigua and Bar­bu­da pos­sess­es.

The plat­form fea­tures pub­licly acces­si­ble GIS-based maps, deliv­ered using open source soft­ware (GeoN­ode). This will allow cit­i­zens and the wider pub­lic to see envi­ron­men­tal data for Antigua and Bar­bu­da.
