Further it attempts to clearly identify that capabilities, stakeholders, business environment, strengths, weaknesses, opportunities and threats. National Environment The Jamaican economy continued to record growth during the second quarter of the fiscal year. For July– September 2018, real Gross Domestic Product (GDP) is estimated to have increased by 1.9 per cent relative to July–September 2017. This follows a real GDP growth of 2.2 per cent recorded for the April– June quarter. During the July–September quarter, Real Value Added in the Goods Producing Industry grew by 5.2 per cent, while Real Value Added for the Services Industry expanded by 0.8 per cent. The improved economic performance was pushed mainly by increases in the Mining & Quarrying (54.0 per cent), Construction (3.0 per cent) and Hotels & Restaurants (2.0 per cent) industries. Growth was also recorded for the Agriculture Forestry & Fishing (0.7 per cent) industry. This performance was, however, negatively impacted by drought conditions which caused low yields and crop losses. Within the Services Industry, all industries recorded increases, with the exception of Electricity & Water Supply, down 0.1 per cent. It was further reported by the Planning Institute of Jamaica that the performance during the quarter took place against the background of continued macroeconomic stability, with modest inflation of 3.1 per cent; low interest rates; an improved fiscal out-turn; an uptick in both business and consumer confidence; and increased construction activities, associated with the expansion of the road network, building of new hotels, and other commercial buildings. Moreover, it also revealed positive indicators for the Labour Market. The unemployment rate for July 2018 was 8.4 per cent compared with a rate of 11.3 per cent in July 2017. This is the lowest unemployment rate on record, that is, since 1968. The employed labour force increased by 12,800 persons to 1,226,400 persons relative to July 2017. This represents the highest level of employment ever for a single month. There was a decline in Jamaica’s Labour Force for July 2018 by 30,100 to 1,338,200 persons relative to July 2017. This out-turn in the employment figures continues the trend of establishing record levels of employment observed since mid-2016. The outlook for the October–December 2018 quarter is positive. Real GDP for the October to December 2018 quarter is expected to grow within the range of 1.5 per cent to 2.5 per cent. VISION 2030 With respect to the period 2015–2018, Jamaica saw development gains in several areas, including human capital development; macroeconomic stability; reduction in unemployment; increases in the use of non- fossil fuel based energy, such as alternatives and renewables; governance, particularly in control of corruption and government effectiveness; key economic sectors, especially tourism and agriculture; and ________________________________________________________________________________________ Ministry of Industry, Commerce, Agriculture & Fisheries Business Plan 89 | P a g e Strategic Planning, Performance Monitoring and Evaluation infrastructural development. However, that same period saw increases in crime rates; low levels of economic growth; undesirable levels of poverty, particularly rural poverty; a general increase in the rate of chronic non-communicable diseases; and a fall in environmental sustainability. Of the 67 indicators that were monitored against medium-term targets under Vision 2030 Jamaica, 56.0 per cent had shown improvement over the baseline year 2007 based on results to 2017/18, while 36.0 per cent had shown no improvement or worsened relative to the baseline year of 2007. It was indicated that the largest development gains up to March 2018 were under Goal 1: “Jamaicans are Empowered to Achieve their Fullest Potential”, followed by Goal 3: “Jamaica’s Economy is Prosperous”. External Environment - PESTLE Analysis A PESTLE analysis was conducted to identify and analyze the macro-environmental (external environment) factors that have an impact on an organization/country. The result of which is used to identify threats and weaknesses which is used in a SWOT analysis. The technique is used to help identify factors involved in change rather than solutions to any of the factors. The factors identified fell into one of two categories: 1. Outside the control of the organization 2. Have some form impact on the organization Political These factors highlight to what degree a government intervenes in the economy. This can include – government policy, political stability or instability in overseas markets, foreign trade policy, tax policy, labour law, environmental law, trade restrictions and so on.  Stable Democracy  Food Security – Significant policy issue for GOJ  Food Traceability – Significant policy issue for GOJ  Environment & Production Balance  Corruption Index ranked 68th (moderate transparency)5  Member of CARICOM (economic, trade and labour bloc)  National Development Plan – Vision 2030, is aligned with 2030 Sustainable Development Goals  Major Trade Agreements  The European Partnership Agreement (EPA)  Caribbean-Canada Trade Agreement (CARIBCAN)  Caribbean Basin Initiative (CBI)  Caribbean Single Market Economy (CSME)  International Trade Friendliness - Logistics Performance Index 2.52 (global rank 113th )  Ease of Doing Business rank 70th o Competiveness Index 4.25 5 Transparency International 2017 Report ________________________________________________________________________________________ Ministry of Industry, Commerce, Agriculture & Fisheries Business Plan 90 | P a g e Strategic Planning, Performance Monitoring and Evaluation Economic Economic factors have a significant impact on how the Ministry designs interventions and project business enabling initiatives, programmes and projects.

The Executive Director is responsible for the day to day operations, and is supported by the Administrative Department, Legal Department and Competition Bureau, which are headed by the General Manager, Senior Legal Counsel and Competition Bureau Chief, respectively. Currently, these departments comprise the following:  Administrative: Executive Secretary, Accountant, Secretary, Receptionist/Telephone Operator, Office Attendant and Driver.  Legal: 2 Legal Officers.  Competition Bureau: 2 Competition Analysts, 2 Research Officers and Secretary. Departments Staff Planned Planned Planned Planned Complement 2019/2020 2020/2021 2021/2022 2022/2023 Administrative 8 8 8 8 8 Department Legal 3 3 4 5 5 Department Competition 6 6 7 8 8 Bureau The issue of training for Staff is always foremost in our plans because building staff capacity is an ongoing process in this specialist area of competition policy which requires training in specific areas of law and economics as well as investigative techniques and methodologies. In addition to internal training sessions conducted by Staff, on-line workshops and seminars conducted by the International Competition Network (ICN) and consultation with other competition agencies on specific matters, also serve as a training ground. It is expected that drafting instructions for the intended Merger Review Regime that is to be incorporated into the Fair Competition Act (FCA) will be completed by the end of the 2018/2019 Financial Year; and that the necessary amendments will be made to the FCA during the 2019/2020 Financial Year. It is also expected that the Regime will be operational by the 2020/2021 Financial Year and therefore additional Staff will be required to handle the increased work load. That is, a Legal Officer and a Competition Analyst, in the initial stages and two Legal Officers and two Competition Analysts when the public are fully sensitized on the requirements of the Regime. Budgetary constraints over the past few years have prevented the Commission meeting the training needs of the Commission as a whole, that is, at the level of the Staff and at the level of the Commissioners. The Merger Review Regime will also require additional resources for training at the two levels. Ministry of Industry, Commerce, Agriculture & Fisheries Business Plan 2017 - 2021 171 | P a g e Strategic Planning and Performance Monitoring & Evaluation Division The Commission has been working towards obtaining ISO Certification and this will serve to structure operational procedures of all departments and improve the level of accountability and efficiency of Staff. 5.7 FISHERIES DIVISION (Statutory Body in transition) 5.7.1 Vision, Mission and Mandate Vision By 2030, the National Fisheries Agency will become the model of excellence in capture fisheries and aquaculture management and development, recognized for its fairness and valued for its professionalism, expertise and high standards. Mission The mission of the Fisheries Division is to facilitate the sustainable development of Jamaican capture fisheries and aquaculture through effective and responsible management for the benefit of all Jamaicans. 5.7.2 Strategic Outcomes  Improved management of the country’s fisheries resources  Expansion of inland and marine fisheries  Increase in Jamaica’s earnings from the fisheries industry 5.7.3 Strategic Plans and Priority Programmes (2019/20 – 2022/23) Ministry of Industry, Commerce, Agriculture & Fisheries Business Plan 2017 - 2021 172 | P a g e Strategic Planning and Performance Monitoring & Evaluation Division Programme/ Strategies Outp Performa Target Target Polic Targ Targ sub- ut nce & Cost & Cost y et & et & programme Indicator 18/19 19/20 Priori Cost Cost and Budget s (000) (000) ty 21/2 22/2 No 2 3 (000) (000) Integrate Fisheries – Develop % of 3% 3% 5% 5% 7% appropri Management and coastal ate and Establish fishery planning, Development Investment water policy of Fisheries – Partnership (down to and Management s regulator and 30 meters) y Development Develop protected framewo of Capture regulations as SFCA rk to Fisheries that require support developers increase #122-20-0181 to access of contribute local to industrie sanctuary s to managemen emergin t g and existing markets.

The HSRA has not yet been operationalized and no staff has been hired as at November 2016. However the operationalization of the HSRA has become an urgent issue based on Jamaica’s international commitments to the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and other bodies. In particular failure to operationalize the HSRA is likely to derail planned cancer treatment centres and a nuclear medicine facility resulting in significantly reduced capacity to treat cancer in Jamaica. 5.8.1 Vision, Mission and Mandate Vision The HSRA has not yet been operationalized and therefore does not yet have an articulated vision. It is nevertheless expected that when formulated the vision of the HSRA will speak to the authority being an effective and efficient regulator that ensures the protection of the Jamaican people from the harmful effects of ionizing radiation. Mission and/or Mandate The HSRA has not yet been operationalized and therefore does not yet have an articulated Mission. Nevertheless, the Nuclear Safety and Radiation Protection Act mandates the HSRA to: • protect people and the environment from exposure to ionizing radiation to the maximum extent that is reasonably practicable; Ministry of Industry, Commerce, Agriculture & Fisheries Business Plan 2017 - 2021 176 | P a g e Strategic Planning and Performance Monitoring & Evaluation Division • secure radioactive sources from misuse; • promote an effective nuclear safety culture; • achieve and maintain a high level of safety and security in facilities utilizing ionizing radiation sources; • ensure availability of compensation for damage, loss and injuries caused by ionizing radiation; • facilitate the beneficial and peaceful uses of nuclear technology; and • facilitate compliance with Jamaica’s international obligations under various conventions, treaties and agreements. The work of the HSRA will align with MICAF’s objective of ensuring consumer and public protection. 5.8.2 Strategic Outcomes The strategic outcomes of the HSRA are: i. Reduction in cancer related deaths ii. Minimization of radiation exposure iii. Safe and secure operation of facilities utilizing ionization radiation 5.8.3 Strategic Plans and Priority Programmes (2019/20 – 2022/23) Policy Program Strategies Output Performa Target & Target & Target & Target & Priority me/sub- nce Cost Cost Cost Cost program Indicator 19/20 20/21 21/22 22/23 me and s (000) (000) (000) (000) Budget No Ensure 303/23/00 Ensure Legislati Consumer 5– registratio on and Protection Consumer n of all regulatio # of and Public sources of ns on registered 100 100 100 50 Create an Protection ionizing radiation sources in enabling /Hazardou radiation protectio HSRA environme s n data base nt to Substance impleme support the s nted and growth of Regulatio Consume health and n/Directio r rights other n and protected services Administr which ation utilize ionizing radiation sources SAME SAME Ensure SAME # of 60 100 120 120 authorizati applicatio on of all ns for users of authorizati 60 100 120 120 ionizing on ($2100) ($3500) ($4200) ($4200) radiation sources, # of authorizati ons issued Ministry of Industry, Commerce, Agriculture & Fisheries Business Plan 2017 - 2021 177 | P a g e Strategic Planning and Performance Monitoring & Evaluation Division Policy Program Strategies Output Performa Target & Target & Target & Target & Priority me/sub- nce Cost Cost Cost Cost program Indicator 19/20 20/21 21/22 22/23 me and s (000) (000) (000) (000) Budget No SAME SAME Ensure SAME # of 60 100 120 120 inspection inspection ($900) ($1500) ($1800) ($1800) of all s facilities conducted where ionizing radiation sources are used SAME SAME Ensure SAME # of 100% of 100% of 100% of 100% of reporting accidents reported reported reported reported and and accidents accidents accidents accidents investigati incidents investigate investigate investigate investigate on of all reported d and d and d and d and accidents reports reports reports reports and completed completed completed completed incidents # of ($120,000) ($120,000) ($120,000) ($120,000) involving accident/ ionizing incident radiation, investigati on reports completed 2 2 2 2 ($240) ($240) ($240) ($240) SAME SAME Recover SAME # of “out- At least 1 At least 1 At least 1 At least 1 and of- orphan orphan orphan orphan establish control”/o source source source source control of rphaned recovered recovered recovered recovered ionizing sources ($200) ($200) ($200) ($200) radiation recovered. sources which were out of control/or phaned SAME # of 36 36 20 20 Build the person- capabilitie courses, ($5,250) ($5,250) ($2800) ($2800) s and person- competen seminars ces of and Regulator person- y Staff workshop through s of training training courses received seminars by HSRA and staff workshop Ministry of Industry, Commerce, Agriculture & Fisheries Business Plan 2017 - 2021 178 | P a g e Strategic Planning and Performance Monitoring & Evaluation Division Policy Program Strategies Output Performa Target & Target & Target & Target & Priority me/sub- nce Cost Cost Cost Cost program Indicator 19/20 20/21 21/22 22/23 me and s (000) (000) (000) (000) Budget No TOTAL $8,690 $10,690 $9,240 $9,240 5.8.4 Medium Term Expenditure Summary: Item Year 1 Year 2 Year 3 Year 4 Estimates of Projections Projections Projections Expenditure (2020/2021) (2021/2022) (2022/2023) (2019/2020) (J$ 000) (J$ 000) (J$ 000) (J$ 000) Recurrent 36,900 Capital A 2,860 Capital B 000 Appropriations 000 in Aid Total Funding 39,760 Requirement 5.8.5 Human Resources Capacity Plan: Units/Divisions Staff Planned Planned Planned Planned or Projects Complement 2019/2020 2020/2021 2021/2022 2022/2023 HRM&A Finance and Accounts Division [Continue if necessary] 5.9 JAMAICA 4-H CLUBS The Jamaica 4-H Clubs was established in April, 1940 as the Jamaica 4-H Clubs (hereinafter referred to as “the Clubs”).
