KINGSTON, Jamaica — The Government of Jamaica has signed a new agreement launching a $1.42 billion project, funded by the Korea International Cooperation Agency (KOICA), to transform land administration locally.

The Korea-Jamaica partnership is expected to facilitate secure land rights, stronger institutions and sustainable development through easier and more transparent land ownership.

Speaking at the event, Prime Minister Dr Andrew Holness noted that: “A land title is more than a document, it is a platform for opportunity. This project is about building that platform at scale.”
