Data Analysis, Policy and Legislative Development Workshop: PADF PRO-JAM III Project
Partnering with the Pan American Development Foundation (PADF) and Dr Stephen Johnson (SALISES at UWI), we delivered legislative development training to 30 stakeholders from Jamaica’s Ministry of National Security and Peace under the PRO-JAM III Project. This initiative strengthened skills in policy formulation and preparing precise legislative drafting instructions to improve legislation and address the root causes of ineffective laws. By equipping these security and justice sector leaders with these tools, we are proud to support a more rigorous approach to governance and pave the way for more effective, enforceable laws in Jamaica.
