| Summary: | Jamaica is taking steps to strengthen
its trade environment as a way to improve the ease and ways
of doing business and stimulate growth. In February 2015,
Jamaica formed its National Committee on Trade Facilitation,
known as the Trade Facilitation Task Force (TF2). During its
first year, theTask Force had fruitful consultations with
its members in the public and private sectors on how to
increase trade facilitation in Jamaica. These consultations
laid the foundation for the creation of a Trade Facilitation
Project Plan, currently in use as a guide for the execution
and monitoringof Jamaica’s trade-competitiveness activities.
This SmartLesson describes the establishment of the Task
Force and the progress of the Project Plan— and shares key
lessons learned along the way. |
