In response, the Government has established the National Reconstruction and Resilience Authority (NaRRA), initially as a department, pending the enactment of special-purpose legislation to constitute it as a statutory corporation.
#ThroneSpeech: We gather at a decisive moment in Jamaica’s national journey. In the past year, our nation was tested by Hurricane Melissa, one of the most disruptive climate events in history. It tested our infrastructure, institutions, and communities; but it did not break our indomitable spirit.
It also revealed something fundamental: Jamaica has changed. We are no longer a country that merely reacts to crises and recovers with delay. Jamaica prepares, absorbs shocks, and rebounds with speed and purpose.
