The Jamaica Social Investment Fund (JSIF) is set to roll out a major road rehabilitation project in the community of Treadlight in Clarendon.

The project, being implemented under the JSIF Integrated Community Development Project (ICDP), is being funded by the Government at a cost of approximately $150 million and is expected to start this month and run for approximately 10 months.

The official announcement was made at a recent stakeholders’ meeting in the community involving the JSIF project management team, community representatives, among others.

Manager for Training and Community-Based Contracting at JSIF, Winsome Hudson Reid, explained that the investment in training is an effort “to sensitise communities about the importance of protecting the infrastructure in the event of natural disasters”.

Senior Manager for Social Development Services at JSIF, Mona Sue-Ho, for her part, said that the agency “continues to respond to the social needs of communities across Jamaica”.
