A Jamaica National Foundation commissioned research is set to assess the needs and challenges of social enterprises. Since negligible data is currently available on the social, economic and enviromental contributions these enterprises make to the country, the philanthropic arm of Jamaica National Building Society initiated the research
to gather information on the sector in order to examine, inform and influence key decisions, which affect the sector.
JN commissioned the Mona School of Business and Management at the University of the West Indies — through its Office of Social Entrepreneurship (OSE), headed by Dr Kadamawe Knife.
Our 7 faculties and 12 professional schools offer more than 200 programmes to some 18,000 graduate, undergraduate and continuing studies students.
The UWI, Mona ranks first in Jamaica among accredited tertiary-level programmes. In 2012, the University was again one of Jamaica’s Top 100 Employers.
