Rural Renaissance or Forgotten Zones

Rural Renaissance or Forgotten Zones

Published 1 day, 21 hours ago
Description

Jamaica’s rural communities are crying out for urgent change as poverty there is four times higher than in cities—and basic services like clean water, internet, and computers are severely lacking. Opposition leaders are demanding a bold, long-term overhaul: a new rural development council, updated laws from the 1950s, annual parliamentary reports, and revitalized community centers as hubs for job training and digital access. They’re also pushing for better infrastructure, special economic zones, and value-added agriculture to spark a true rural renaissance—ensuring no one’s zip code determines their future.
