The Government of Grenada, through its Land Tenure Regularisation Programme, will officially hand over Land Title Deeds to another group of individuals who have successfully completed payment for their allotted Crown lands.
This significant milestone marks Government’s continued commitment to secure land rights, resolve disputes, and modernise land administration across Grenada.
Minister for Agriculture, Lands and Forestry Hon. Lennox J Andrews said the initiative aligns with the Government’s commitment to empower individuals who, for many years, have faced insecurity and uncertainty regarding the lands they occupy. “This administration has left no stone unturned in navigating the maze of bureaucratic challenges to finally resolve the cloud of uncertainty that has long plagued our nationals living on Crown lands,” Minister Andrews stated.
He added that as the Land Tenure Regularisation Programme continues to grow from strength to strength, and more individuals become legal landowners, they will be better positioned to approach financial institutions with confidence and secure a brighter future for themselves and their children.
The Land Tenure Regularisation Programme was launched 2 May 2024, and since its inception, it has engaged with more than 5,000 accounts.
Wednesday’s handing over ceremony, which will take place in St Andrew, will host 47 persons from all parishes on the mainland (with completed processes) whose accounts have been fully settled.
The Ministry of Agriculture, Lands and Forestry, in July this year, facilitated an initial distribution Ceremony of Title Deeds to 39 Crown Land occupiers, along with Cabinet Conclusions for residents at La Calome. A Land Title Deed handing over ceremony is being planned for Carriacou and Petite Martinique before the end of October 2025.
The Land Tenure Regularisation Programme is structured around 4 major pillars:
- Digitisation of records: Establishing a fully paperless Land Record System by 2025
- Research and Development: Verifying ownership, resolving “no man’s land” cases, and regularising informal occupants
- Crown Land assessment: Surveying and mapping Crown lands for transparent allocation
- Debt Collection system: Enforcing structured payment plans to ensure accountability and revenue recovery
Through this initiative, Grenada is set to strengthen its foundation for sustainable development and equitable Land Use.
