Planning for Jamaica’s future starts with open dialogue! Chairman and Director General of the Planning Institute of Jamaica, Dr. Wayne Henry, offered key insight into the purpose behind the PIOJ’s Dialogue for Development exclusive lecture, recently staged in Kingston. According to Dr. Henry, the lecture series is designed to bring national attention to two major issues shaping Jamaica’s future. The first centres on demographic changes — including an ageing population, slower population growth, and declining birth and fertility rates. The second focuses on environmental realities, particularly the increasing impact of natural disasters and the need for stronger resilience and sustainable recovery strategies. #PIOJ #DialogueForDevelopment #JamaicaDevelopment #SustainableFuture #JamaicaObserver
