2 Implementation Status and Key Decisions The Jamaica Integrated Community Development Project was approved by the World Bank's Board of Directors on March 14, In coordination with the Government of Jamaica (GoJ), the loan was signed on May 06, Declaration of effectiveness was announced on August 11, The Project Operational Manual has been finalized as well as the signing of the Subsidiary Agreement, and project activities have been effected. Stakeholder consultations: All communities have undergone the initial community-level launch event, the political engagement and sensitization, and the stakeholder walk-throughs. By the end of October, the community level Project Steering Committees will be in place. These committees will be legally constituted and be responsible for the identification, prioritization and monitoring of activities during the implementation phase. Through their legal constitution these entities will be able to access project related resources through for example, Community Based Contracting or the Results Based Financing incentive payments. They will be comprised of members of the formal Community Development Corporations (CDCs) and additional relevant stakeholders for increased capacity. To date, three of the 18 committees have been established (Denham Town, Hannah Town and Tivoli Gardens). The only community pending to hold their following up stakeholder meeting is Ellerslie Pen in Spanish Town. Integrated Infrastructure Packages: JSIF plans to have the design packages for all 18 communities prepared for tender by the end of November. This includes the infrastructure works (drainage and roads), and the designs for the school upgrades. Solid Waste Management: The clean-up of 30 communities (12 ICBSP and 18 ICDP) was completed by the end of August. 165 environmental wardens have been selected and trained. The orientation and formal graduation for the Kingston, St. Andrew, St. Catherine and Clarendon wardens was held on September 30, 2015 and the graduation of the wardens located in the western parishes was held the beginning of October. The employment phase will begin the first week of November. School Programs Environmental programs were established in 20 primary schools in ICDP communities before the summer break. The School Recycling Program has been started in 20 of the 23 primary schools in the communities. Schools will separate and give the materials to the recyclers. The activities also include strengthening environmental clubs in the schools, and including parents in the clubs and the planning of activities. The programs are going to pick up by the end of October to include the establishment of environmental clubs, recycling, composting, gardening programs, and general solid waste management awareness campaigns. Summer Camps and Saturday Academy In July and August there were 25 summer camps implemented in ICDP communities, benefitting 1,885 young people. Five of these camps were focused on youth livelihood; maritime studies, hydroponics, aquaculture, animal husbandry, electrical installation and cosmetology. With the strong demand for this type of program, JSIF plans to roll out the Saturday Academy which will target livelihoods training for youth through skills training institutes. This is being planning to commence in November 2015 and will target youth at risk of falling out of the school system, predominately males ages Alternative Livelihoods There are 96 students currently enrolled in skills training in Kingston and St. Andrew, and St. Ann at four institutions in digital animation, cosmetology, electrical installation, and construction. Mobilization, testing, interview and selection has completed for first batch of trainees, and contracts in progress for Clarendon and KSA disabled group. In order to expand placement, there are negotiations in progress with service providers in St. James and Westmoreland. JSIF is partnering with the Sandals Resorts International to create and implement a specialized youth workforce development project for hospitality. The project will target youth ages in the following ICDP communities; Granville, Barrett Town, Retirement, Anchovy, Steer Town, and Russia.
