It is likely that Jamaica will not achieve the targets outlined in Vision 2030, but the country is on track with over 60% of the indicators.

Programme Director of Vision 2030, Piesha Bryan-Lee, made the statement during a press conference hosted by the Planning Institute of Jamaica, on Wednesday. 

Vision 2030 is the country’s first long-term strategic development plan.

It covers a 21 year period, from 2009 to 2030.  

The achievement of the 4 goals and 15 national outcomes will result in a vibrant and internationally competitive economy; a secure and cohesive society; a healthy natural environment; a high level of human capital development; and greater opportunities for social and economic mobility and prosperity.

Commenting on Jamaica’s progress in realizing the established targets, Mrs. Bryan-Lee said, although the country is on a pathway of sustainability and development, all will not be accomplished by 2030. 

Mrs. Bryan-Lee noted that steps are being taken to revise the targets established in Vision 2030.
