We are bringing Jamaicans together
Overview
Welcome to Jamaica Diaspora Engagement Model for National Development
Spanning across all six inhabited continents — Asia, Africa, North America, South America, Europe, and Australia — the Jamaican Diaspora stands as a testament to Jamaica's global reach and influence. Notably, our diaspora ranks among the most engaged and patriotic worldwide.
The Jamaica Diaspora Engagement Model, known as JAM-DEM, epitomizes this bond by establishing a dynamic communication channel. Through JAM-DEM, we ensure continuous dialogue between the Jamaican diaspora and our key stakeholders, encompassing the Government of Jamaica, its various ministries, agencies, and public-private entities. This communication conduit is materialized through the JAM-DEM platform. Beyond mere communication, the JAM-DEM platform is designed to cultivate an ecosystem that champions entrepreneurship, spurs business development, and encourages innovation. It's a nexus for direct investments into Jamaica's priority sectors. Furthermore, JAM-DEM actively taps into the vast reservoir of expertise and talent within our diaspora, accentuating their pivotal role in transferring invaluable knowledge and skills back to our homeland.
