The Jamaican Government through the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade have instituted several initiatives to not only highlight the contributions of the Jamaican Diaspora but also to encourage engagement.
The Jamaica Diaspora Conference is a signature biennial global forum that connects Jamaicans and persons of Jamaican descent living across the globe with the aim to strengthen linkages and build alliances that will fuel Jamaica’s growth and development on the world stage.
Since its inception, participation in the Conference has steadily increased and as such this year’s target is 5,000 participants. The Conference highlights that the Jamaican Diaspora represents much more than their ability to produce remittances, with its significant untapped economic impact on entrepreneurship development and the transfer of new and emerging skills.
