In the wake of Hurricane Melissa, we are undertaking reconstruction across roads, schools, health facilities, and housing at a scale that would have otherwise taken decades to achieve. The question before us is not whether we rebuild, but how we rebuild. I am clear that this moment must be used to embed digital infrastructure, resilient design, and modern governance into the very foundation of the Jamaica we are building forward. This is the obligation of leadership, to ensure that the Jamaica emerging from this period is stronger, more connected, and better prepared than the one that existed before. It requires greater investment, genuine innovation, and the courage to move beyond outdated systems, and inefficiencies that no longer serve our people or our economy. It also means ensuring that growth is inclusive, that new ideas become new industries, and those industries create meaningful jobs and opportunities for Jamaicans across communities and generations. That is precisely why we are establishing the National Reconstruction and Resilience Authority (NaRRA). Its mandate is to move with urgency, coordinate across institutions, cut through bureaucracy without compromising standards, and deliver results that are tangible and impactful for the people who need them most.(Andrew Holness)
