The main thrust of the CDF is to: Promote Human and Infrastructure Development at the community and constituency levels Catalyze economic activities at the constituency level Foster local governance including good environmental stewardship Improve service delivery Bring governance and the people closer together Increase the response capacity of the elected representatives Promote participation at the community level The CDF programme is in its second year of implementation. Each Member of Parliament in collaboration with the relevant agencies, local/community based organizations and Non- governmental Organizations would have designed a Five Year Development Plan at the inception of the programme. The Five Year Development Plan for each constituency would have outlined a menu of programmes and projects to be undertaken on a yearly basis. 5 (ii) The CDF Committee’s Deliberations and Decisions Your Committee began its meetings for the 2009/2010 Parliamentary Session on June 2, 2009 and held a total of fifteen (15) meetings to review and approve the project proposals that were submitted to the Committee by the Members of Parliament in the 60 constituencies. (Appendix I) Each Member of Parliament was allocated $20.0 million to execute the projects in his or her constituency for the 2009/2010 Parliamentary Year. Each project proposal was reviewed by the officers at the CDF Project Management Unit before being sent to your Committee for further review and approval. Your Committee was very meticulous in its review of the project documents and where necessary, sought clarity on matters. Your Committee approved project proposals totaling $1,166,809,321.20 as set out in Appendix II. The projects approved represent those submitted by Members of Parliament that satisfied the criteria that were set out for the disbursement of funds by the CDF Unit.

  • Needs Assessment for Implementation of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control in Jamaica
    Needs assessment for implementation of the WHO Framework Convention on Tobacco Control in Jamaica Convention Secretariat January 2015 1 Executive summary The World Health Organization Framework Convention on Tobacco Control (WHO FCTC) is the first international health treaty negotiated under the auspices of WHO and was adopted in 2003. It has since become one of the most widely and rapidly embraced treaties in the history of the United Nations, with 180 Parties to date1. Jamaica ratified the WHO FCTC on 7 July 2005, the 73rd country in the world and the ninth country in the Region of the Americas to become a Party to the Convention. The Convention entered into force for Jamaica on 5 October 2005. Jamaica has made significant advances in meeting its obligations under the Convention, most notably in the areas of protection from exposure to tobacco smoke (Article 8) and in implementation of graphic warnings and other requirements for tobacco package labelling (Article 11), through the adoption of the Public Health (Tobacco Control) Regulations, promulgated in 2013 and amended in 2014. Implementation of the Convention has also been incorporated into Jamaica’s NCD action plan and the Ministry of Health’s business plan.
