is led by an Advisory Committee comprising a group of progressive
and patriotic Jamaicans from both the public and private sector.
Their leadership in their respective portfolios make them
integral in giving intellectual and practical guidance to
the Project. The Committee is ultimately responsible for preserving
the intellectual integrity and cohesiveness of the research.
