Activities
Since the 1990s, the renewal and reform of Local Government has been
placed at the top of the priority list. Jamaica, to date, has one of the
strongest Local Governments in the Caribbean region. The number of
authorities, their services and their budgetary independence are such
that our local government system is more decentralised than the rest of
the Caribbean. Our system is based on the conviction that despite
shortcomings in the system, a strong and vibrant Local Government is
essential to the attainment of a society in which all citizens enjoy
real opportunities to directly participate in and contribute to the
management and development of their local communities, and by extension,
of the nation.
