Jamaica's Infrastructure Delays
Description
Jamaica’s stalled infrastructure projects, like the Troy Bridge that took five years and $230 million to rebuild, expose a deeper crisis: an “implementation deficit” rooted in red tape, weak project management, and a lack of accountability. Despite qualified professionals, institutions prioritize procedure over performance, as seen in the National Water Commission’s audit. Now, a new agency, NaRRA, aims to speed up delivery—especially after disasters—but risks undermining oversight. The core question remains: how can Jamaica build a government that delivers results without sacrificing accountability?
