The Social Development Commission (SDC) is placing emphasis on alignment with the United Nations (UN) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) by supporting the resilience of local economies through its Local Economic Development Support Programme (LEDSP).
Executive Director of the SDC, Omar Frith, told a recent JIS Think Tank that the impact of the flagship programme, now in its 10th year, reflects the power of entrepreneurship in Jamaica.
“It reflects our commitment not only to spark enterprise but to transform lives, to build resilience and, of course, to stimulate the local market. The SDC is the principal community development agency working with over 775 communities across the country. We are seeking primarily to advance local economic development,” he said.
