About the project:

Jamaica Business Development Corporation (JBDC), a public institution committed to pursue development policies in Jamaica proposes to 1) develop comprehensive profile of the Jamaican cultural and creative industries (CCIs); 2) measure the economic contribution of the CCIs; 3) develop a strategy for the development of the CCIs.

How does this project contribute to the implementation of the 2005 Convention?

  • Organize Knowledge Transfer Workshops (KTW) to strengthen the capacities of public entities such as Statistical Institute of Jamaica (STATIN).
  • Develop a new socio-economic impact framework aligned with the best practices from the UNESCO Institute for Statistics (UIS) and PARIS21 (NSS-CCI).
  • Establish an industry advisory group to guide the strategy for the development of the CCIs.
