IV. SECTORAL TRADE POLICIES (1) 1. Jamaica Continues to Use Trade
WT/TPR/S/42 Trade Policies Review Page 84 IV. SECTORAL TRADE POLICIES (1) OVERVIEW 1. Jamaica continues to use trade policies and incentive schemes geared at promoting specific sectors. The National Industrial Policy identifies these sectors, focusing on activities where a comparative advantage is perceived to exist, such as tourism and on identifying others where it could be developed through policy actions, such as data processing and systems development. 2. Traditionally, Jamaica's endowments led to the development of activities linked to certain agricultural crops and minerals. Although agriculture and mining remain important, both sectors have lost GDP share to services and manufacturing. A number of incentives promote activity in manufacturing, including income tax exemptions, and import duty concessions for production for export outside of CARICOM. The main exporter in manufacturing is the textiles and clothing subsector, although the industry has been suffering from a loss of competitiveness and inability to fill bilateral export quotas in the past few years. A substantial part of the garment industry is located in free zones. 3. Jamaica's tariff structure offers higher levels of protection to goods with high value added and to agricultural products (Chart IV.1). Goods used as inputs are generally granted duty-free access. 4. The services sector is the largest and fastest growing in the Jamaican economy. Among services, tourism is the main earner of foreign exchange, generating around US$1.13 billion in 1997. After a period of privatization and reform, activities in the services sector have been largely liberalized, few restrictions remain and national treatment is prevalent. -

Jamaica's Parishes and Civil Registration Districts
Jamaican registration districts Jamaica’s parishes and civil registration districts [updated 2010 Aug 15] (adapted from a Wikimedia Commons image) Parishes were established as administrative districts at the English conquest of 1655. Though the boundaries have changed over the succeeding centuries, parishes remain Jamaica’s fundamental civil administrative unit. The three counties of Cornwall (green, on the map above), Middlesex (pink), and Surrey (yellow) have no administrative relevance. The present parishes were consolidated in 1866 with the re-division of eight now- extinct entities, none of which will have civil records. A good historical look at the parishes as they changed over time may be found on the privately compiled “Jamaican Parish Reference,” http://prestwidge.com/river/jamaicanparishes.html (cited 2010 Jul 1). Civil registration of vital records was mandated in 1878. For civil recording, parishes were subdivided into named registration districts. Districts record births, marriages (but not divorces), and deaths since the mandate. Actual recording might not have begun in a district until several years later after 1878. An important comment on Jamaican civil records may be found in the administrative history available on the Registrar General’s Department Website at http://apps.rgd.gov.jm/history/ (cited 2010 Jul 1). This list is split into halves: 1) a list of parishes with their districts organized alphabetically by code; and 2) an alphabetical index of district names as of the date below the title. As the Jamaican population grows and districts are added, the list of registration districts lengthens. The parish code lists are current to about 1995. Registration districts created after that date are followed by the parish name rather than their district code. -

The direct beneficiaries of the project are the children and communities in the most disadvantaged, remote rural areas of Jamaica. JAASP specifically aimed to tackle the key issues of Access, Quality, Retention and Equity in relation to rural education. One of the underlying principles behind the project has been the building of partnerships between schools, parents, communities, Ministry of Education officers and the private sector to develop improved lifetime opportunities for rural children. The voices of different participants are included here and are evidence of the project focus on ‘learning for all’ For further information please contact: CENTRE FOR INTERNATIONAL DEVELOPMENT AND TRAINING University of Wolverhampton, Telford TF2 9NT, United Kingdom Tel: 44 1902 323219 Email: [email protected] Website: www.wlv.ac.uk/cidt Ministry of Education, Youth and Culture National -
