Our Efforts in Jamaica
Catalyste+ has been working in Jamaica for over 20 years, building capacity with the national government, chambers of commerce, associations, institutions and businesses to foster inclusive economic growth. We’ve worked primarily with entrepreneurs in the tourism, manufacturing and agribusiness sectors to enhance competitiveness and export readiness. The Canada-CARICOM Expert Deployment Mechanism (CCEDM) is our program centered on public sector strengthening. Our efforts shape a resilient tourism sector while addressing other socio-economic priorities in the area.

Our Focus
Building Capacity for Tourism and Hospitality
We’re strengthening the capacity of government organizations to support the sector’s recovery, competitiveness and climate-change resilience.
Environment and Climate Action
We’re building the capacity of government organizations to develop policies, regulations and practices that meet sustainable development goals and tackle climate change challenges. Our efforts support the equitable delivery of services that are environmentally responsible.
How We’ve Made a Difference in Jamaica
▪ The Ministry of Tourism is designing and monitoring programs and initiatives with training in results-based management, data management and governance.
▪ The Urban Development Corporation is integrating environmental, social and economic sustainability considerations into urban planning and park design projects to better serve local communities.
