The UNDP Jamaica Multi-Country Office serves five Small Island Developing States in the Caribbean region: Jamaica, Turks and Caicos Islands, Cayman Islands, Bahamas and Bermuda. In all these countries, UNDP works to improve people's lives by reducing poverty and inequality, promoting good governance, and promoting sustainable development. UNDP star... ted its operations in Jamaica in January 1976 with the signature of the UNDP-Government of Jamaica Standard Basic Assistance Agreement. Since then, we have completed numerous projects with as many as 82 in the last two years alone. These projects have flowed from multi-year Country Programmes with specific thematic and results focuses, assisting in a diverse set of fields encompassing, among other things: Disaster Response, Social Dialogue Processes, National Reports, Gender Training & Research, Environment, Strengthening of Public Institutions. This has been in close collaboration with our partners in Government, non-Government organizations, civil society and the private sector, as well as international development partners and other United Nations Agencies. Through these partnerships and the successful implementation of programmes, thousands of members of the public and Government officials have benefited from ways that can improve people's lives. We currently employ 18 staff members, representing all segments of society, with higher degrees in specializations ranging from economics and international finance/banking to education and natural resource management, and with both Government and private-sector professional backgrounds.
