Report by Jamaica

The country’s first long-term strategic plan, Vision 2030 Jamaica – National Development Plan (Vision 2030 Jamaica); and the Medium Term Socio-Economic Policy Framework (MTF) 2009-2012 were presented to Parliament in 2009. The MTF identified the intermediate steps towards the realization of Vision 2030 Jamaica. A number of important initiatives were taken to establish an effective monitoring and evaluation system and to sustain an efficient communication programme for the Plan. These included: (a) strategic Consultations with Ministries, Departments and Agencies; (b) Rationalization of existing monitoring and evaluation processes; (c) capacity strengthening in Results Based Management (RBM); and (d) publicity and advocacy for Vision 2030 Jamaica.
