The Integrated Geographic Information System (IGIS) portal is a cross-sectoral spatial data infrastructure and geo database. The portal links diverse geographical information datasets from the Governments of Sierra Leone (GoSL) and its partners. It supports GoSL in implementing policies and interventions towards the National Development Plan and the sustainable Development Goals. H.E President Bio has prioritised Human capital Development Plan as a central focus for Sierra Leone (SDG Goals 2, 3,4 representing Food Security , Healthcare, and Quality Education, respectively).
