The Jamaica Diaspora Health Taskforce was established in February 2018.  The group is comprised of individuals and organizations concerned about the public health system in Jamaica.

The partnership between The Ministry of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport and the Ministry of Education, Youth and Information, is part of the Government’s 10-year National Strategic Action Plan, to eliminate Gender-Based Violence in Jamaica.

Climate change has brought with it numerous challenges for communities across the island. As part of efforts to mitigate the effects of climate change, several upgrades have been implemented on the island’s hyrdometerological network over the last few years. This includes the introduction of the Rio Cobre Early Warning System (RCEWS) in Bog Walk, St. Catherine.

Modern movies are centred on telling the stories of people living in various parts of the world.

Getting more films on screen will require local creatives to be trained in the various film making skill sets. It was for that reason that the Jamaica Film and Television Association JAFTA was established.
