AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Housing Rollout: State Minister Abka Fitz-Henley says Jamaica is now in the implementation phase of using Hurricane Melissa-donated funds to deliver modular homes, with construction bases underway and grants moving to affected families. Disaster Relief Supply: Jamaica has about 924 containerised housing units staged for temporary relief, with 500 more expected soon as the Government scales a larger 2,500-unit order. Climate Watch: Met Service and the National Drought Management Committee are tracking a possible major El Niño, warning of hotter, drier conditions that could strain water and agriculture. Health Expansion: Jamaica will expand cancer screening and treatment over the next two years with IAEA technical support, including adding mammogram capacity at more hospitals and exploring primary-care delivery. Economy & Resilience: Bank of Jamaica data points to remittances lifting stability, while PIOJ reports the economy contracted 5.9% in Q1 amid Melissa fallout and weaker demand. Hurricane Outlook: NOAA forecasts a milder Atlantic season, but officials stress one major storm can still cause major damage.
