The Plan, which was approved in Parliament in 2009, is intended to ensure a secure and prosperous future for all Jamaicans and is based on the vision statement: “Jamaica, the place of choice to live, work, raise families and do business”. This vision statement embodies the clear message that emerged from the inclusive plan development process and encapsulates the yearning of our people for a secure and prosperous future. It calls for every citizen to participate in both the responsibilities and benefits of national development… as a fundamental strategy to advance our nation’s progress. Vision 2030 Jamaica introduces a new paradigm, which since its promulgation has continued to redefine the strategic direction for Jamaica – one which puts us on a different path – a path to sustainable prosperity – one that moves us from dependence on the lower forms of capital to developing and sustaining the higher forms of capital – our cultural, human, knowledge and institutional capital stocks to move us into the higher stages of development but also position us to add value to the lower forms of capital… moving us into an innovation-driven stage of development. Whilst exploiting the lower forms of capital, for example, our natural resources for tourism, bauxite, agriculture among others, provides the foundation for development, it is the higher forms of capital that will enable us to create the levels of prosperity required for sustained economic and social development. Today, Vision 2030 Jamaica – National Development Plan continues to endure a national development planning framework underpinned by strong consensus of a wide range of stakeholders and has been benchmarked to regional and global best practices and is considered as a best practice in development planning in Latin America and the Caribbean. The Plan and its associated processes continue to support deepening integration with results-based planning, budgeting and monitoring and evaluation (M&E) processes in GoJ and it is accepted and used by our international development partners as the basis for preparation of country strategy programmes for Jamaica A distinguishing feature of Vision 2030 Jamaica is its focus on implementation and accountability. At the heart of this is an emphasis on prioritization and action. The primary tool and critical success factor for Plan implementation is the Medium Term Socio-Economic Policy Framework (MTF) which translates the Plan from a roadmap to action. MTF 2018 - 2021 – is the fourth in a series of seven consecutive 3-year plans and is aligned to the overall vision, goals and national outcomes of Vision 2030 Jamaica – National Development Plan and allows for a stage by stage operationalization of the long term National Development Plan. It is an implementation framework underpinned by an extensive strategic planning and prioritization process to guide stakeholders to achieve the goals and outcomes of the long-term development plan. MTF 2018 - 2021 is based on the nation’s development aspirations and guiding principles as articulated in the country’s long-term development plan and is aligned to Agenda 2030 5 | P a g e Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) MTF 2018 - 2021 will consolidate the gains made in the previous MTFs for 2009-2012, 2012-2015 and 2015 - 2018 and strengthen the foundations for achieving the country’s long-term results, taking into account the many opportunities that surround us, the current developmental challenges we are confronted with and the global context. The preparation process for the MTF was led by the Vision 2030 Jamaica Secretariat at the Planning Institute of Jamaica (PIOJ) and ensured high levels of stakeholder consultation and input and the participation of over 800 key stakeholders from the public and private sectors, civil society organizations, international development partners and youth and children – through 50 planning workshops. MTF 2018 – 2021 therefore presents the medium-term development priorities, strategies and actions to be pursued under each of the 15 National Outcomes under Vision 2030 Jamaica, including the nine (9) goods- and services-producing industries under National Outcome #12 (Internationally Competitive Industry Structures). It sets out the timeframe for implementation of the priority strategies and actions for each of the 15 National Outcomes, as well as the main agencies and stakeholders responsible for implementation of each priority strategy and action. In addition, it presents the key national indicators and targets that will provide a quantitative framework for measuring the progress toward achievement of MTF 2018 - 2021 and the long- term goals and outcomes of Vision 2030 Jamaica. Under MTF 2018-2021, Jamaica will advance the mainstreaming of the 2030 Agenda and its 17 SDGs within the implementation of Vision 2030 Jamaica. MTF 2018-2021 shows the following alignments: the alignment of the National Outcomes (of the 4 National Goals) of Vision 2030 Jamaica and the SDGs; and, the alignment of the priority sector strategies to advance each National Outcome with relevant SDG targets (see table of priorities
