United Nations Development Programme Jamaica

To achieve the outcomes of our 2007-2011 Country Programme, the UNDP Jamaica Multi-Country Office manages financial resources from various sources in support of its development efforts. These include UNDP core funding, resources mobilized from the relevant country Governments and international donors, resources from global trust funds such as the Global Environment Facility (GEF), and funds from the private sector. In 2007, 41 of 42 projects through the Jamaica Multi-Country Office were nationally executed, involving more than 14 Government Ministries as well as non-Government and civil society organizations and the private sector.

In the programme cycle 2002-2006, UNDP delivered development results worth nearly US$10.3 million through our programmes under the Jamaica Multi-Country Office. Under the new Country Programme, we have thus far adopted targets of US$4.5 million in 2008 and US$6 million in 2009 as financial resources to deliver our expected development results.

UNDP regularly requires goods and services to be procured for its activities and projects.
