Consultancy for an Implementation Coordinator for the National 5-Year Manufacturing Strategy


Background and Justification:

Over the last few decades, while the manufacturing sector has grown, its contribution to global GDP has seen some decline. Global players have been progressively repositioning the industry as part of efforts to remain competitive, particularly through increased innovation and value chain development. Jamaica’s Manufacturing Sector has been one of the country’s longstanding contributors to its economic development. Its impact on job creation, capital investment, and GDP as well as linkages among the various other productive sectors of the country is well recorded and established, but its contribution to GDP has decreased in recent years.
