Jamaica


Jamaica - Wikipedia General Information

The Vision 2030 Jamaica National Development Plan aims for a world-class water supply and sanitation infrastructure and services to improve the quality of life and support human health, protect ecosystems, and reduce poverty. The Jamaica Water Sector Policy of 2004 and the Natural Resources Conservation Regulations of 2013 are examples of policies considering Integrated Water and Wastewater Management (IWWM).

Jamaica is one of the few countries in the Wider Caribbean Region to develop sewage sludge regulations. Developing an overarching framework for IWWM in Jamaica offers the opportunity to integrate existing legislation and foster the development of incentives for a healthy and sustainable future.
