The document is based on the UN Common Country Assessment (CCA) and was borne out of extensive consultations and collaboration among the UN System, the Government of Jamaica (GOJ), civil society and other key partners. Specifically, it outlines the United Nations planned support to the people and Government of Jamaica from 2007-2011 and is intended to act as a roadmap for focused and coordinated development assistance and activities. The UNDAF has placed Jamaica’s national priorities as outlined in the Medium Term Socio-Economic Policy Framework (MTF) at its centre and seeks to more strategically position UN development delivery system to better support the country to meet the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) and other internationally agreed commitments and obligations.
