2021-2023
Action Plan 1
Jamaica’s first action plan includes promising commitments to modernize the existing access-to-information legal framework, strengthen civic participation in environmental matters, and enhance the implementation of polices specific to Jamaica’s youth. Among other things, the Independent Reporting Mechanism (IRM) recommends expanding use of public consultations and fostering ratification of the Escazu agreement.
Jamaica’s 2021–2023 Action Plan is its first within the Open Government Partnership (OGP). It consists of 7 commitments that have the potential to modernize the existing legal framework and mechanisms for access to information (Commitments 2 and 3), strengthen civic participation and access to information concerning environmental matters (Commitment 5), and enhance the implementation of policies aimed at the youth (Commitment 7). The action plan is aligned with Jamaica’s 2030 strategic development plan and the United Nations’ 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda. It addresses several strategic areas that the Government of Jamaica (GOJ) and the country’s civil society organizations (CSOs) and stakeholders have jointly identified as priorities. Citizens’ input was also considered, with nearly 700 participants voting online. (More)
