Status Local Government Reform
CONCLUSION
As the Department embarks on its journey to reform local government/governance in Jamaica, the focus will have to be on priority activities which will facilitate the completion of critical initiatives under the Reform Programme.
The following represent the priorities for Financial Year 2009/2010:
▪ Local Government Reform
▪ Development Approvals & Sub-Divisions
▪ Modernization of the Jamaica Fire Brigade
▪ Continued Support to the NSWMA
The Department is fervent in its belief that the Reform initiative will be a success. The revised date of June, 2010 will facilitate the completion of critical deliverables. However, while this date represents a significant milestone, the reform process will continue beyond this date.
In the final analysis, Jamaicans will ultimately see the creation of Local Authorities which deliver the highest standard of service, promote sustainable growth and development of the country, and a better standard of living for all citizens of Jamaica - Land We Love.
