Legislation Tabled to Establish NaRRA

Legislation to establish the National Reconstruction and Resilience Authority (NaRRA) was tabled in the House of Representatives on Thursday (March 19).

Prime Minister, Dr. the Most Hon. Andrew Holness, said NaRRA will be vested with special powers to fast track development approvals and procurement, enabling the execution of resilient infrastructure projects at a scale and speed unprecedented in Jamaica.

“NaRRA is not only about project delivery. It is about project networking to create new economies in areas impacted by the disaster and to induce the greatest expansion of our economy in the shortest period of time in our history,” he said.

The Prime Minister was making his contribution to the 2026/27 Budget Debate in the House of Representatives on Thursday (March 19).

NaRRA will serve as a single point of national coordination, eliminating the fragmentation and delays that have too often hindered progress.

It will also serve as a centre of technical excellence for project preparation and delivery, ensuring that the quality of national plans aligns with the scale of the country’s ambitions.
