Jamaica’s resilience in dealing with multiple shocks over the past 50 years, including natural disasters, and more recently climate change, is being hailed as a “remarkable achievement” by United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) Resident Representative in Jamaica Kishan Khoday.
He acknowledged the achievement last Friday during an interview with the Jamaica Observer in which he addressed the agency’s collaboration with Jamaica over the past five decades and spoke to the UNDP’s series of events to mark its 50-year presence on the island.
