The Planning Institute of Jamaica (PIOJ) recently signed a $38 million agreement with the United States Agency for International Development (USAID) and FHI 360 Local Development Partner to support the ‘Positive Youth Transformation Project’, which is facilitating ongoing case management initiatives for nearly 100 youth in two St. James communities. The youngsters are already participating in interventions that will improve their coping skills and support them to build sustainable livelihoods and orient themselves for lifelong learning. Here, Deputy Director General External Cooperation Management, Barbara Scott (2nd right); and Director for the PIOJ’s Community Renewal Programme (CRP), Charles Clayton (right), celebrate the partnership forged with (from left): USAID Programme Specialist, Claudette Anglin; USAID Country Representative, Jason Fraser; and Chief of Party, FHI-360 LPD, Morana Smodlaka Krajnovic.
