Jamaica uses almost one billion PET bottles each year. Improper disposal of these bottles results in blocked drainages, which leads to floods, in polluted beaches, and in the creation of breeding sites for disease-carrying insects such as the Aedes Aegypti mosquito, facilitating the spread of diseases like Zika and dengue fever. It is estimated that tens of millions of dollars could be saved each year if PET bottles alone were diverted from the country’s waste stream.
In 2017, CAPRI produced a study which sought to find how innovation could help address Jamaica’s pervasive corruption problem. Having assessed the corruption situation in Jamaica and examined what the existing anti-corruption framework allows, we proposed the implementation of a Citizen Feedback Monitoring Program (CFMP), which would address petty corruption across the country’s governmental agencies and services.
INTRODUCTION
Reform is gradually transforming local government to local governance and ultimately to developmental local governance.
RESEARCH FOCUS AND OBJECTIVE
The objective of the research was to determine how, and to what extent, have the constitutional and legislative enactments facilitated local government change.
RESEARCH METHODS
The research deployed empirical and desk analyses of legal and constitutional provisions concerning Caribbean local governments.
FINDINGS
This research examines the practice of international election observation in a Caribbean context. Previous research has focused primarily on Latin American and African states with little mention of the Caribbean reality.
Problem
Jamaica continues to experience high levels of crime and Montego Bay represents one of the main crime hotspots. Given Montego Bay’s crime problems, the marketing of this destination is problematic.
Method
In-depth interviews and desk research were utilisedwith the Hot Spots Theory for elucidating the dichotomous problem of crime versus tourism.
Key Results
Migration is a part of Caribbean Culture.We have developed Diasporas in Britain and in the USA and Canada.. One aspect of migrant life involves the development of business to serve the needs of this population.whom we need to understand.
Methodology
Problem:
The need to share knowledge and for the collaborative technologies to do so is particularly important toSmall Island Developing States (SIDS) that are exposed to similar environmental and economic threats that can hinder their development. One of the major barriers to knowledge sharing and collaboration is that the knowledge resides in disparate sources. How do we know what sources are available and can these be made accessible to all?
Rapid technological changes and globalization have transformed food production patterns and increased the movement of food and individuals across borders resulting in increased concern and attention to food safety issues. Food safety is defined as the “state of acceptable and tolerable risks of illness, disease, and injury from the consumption of foods” Knechtges, 2012, p. 36).
