Cabinet Approves MTF 2021-2024
The Medium Term Socio-Economic Policy Framework (MTF) 2021-2024 was approved by Cabinet through Cabinet Decision No. 35/22 dated October 24, 2022. The MTF serves as the central tenet of the implementation framework of Vision 2030 Jamaica and the main vehicle for advancing the implementation of the 2030 Agenda and its 17 Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
To date, the MTF has included a package of prioritized national strategies and sector strategies, and the most critical/catalytic actions that operationalize the sector strategies. Since 2009, Jamaica has produced and implemented four (4) successive 3-year MTFs without disruption across four (4) political administrations led by the two (2) major political parties – MTFs 2009-2012, 2012-2015, 2015-2018, 2018-2021. These MTFs covered the fiscal years 2009/10 to fiscal year 2020/21. Medium Term Socio-Economic Policy Framework (MTF) 2021-2024 is the first MTF in the post COVID-19 era. Based on lessons learned, the contents of MTF 2021-2024 represent improvements in strategic planning, representation of policy imperatives, and results-based management (RBM).
