The objective of this Technical Cooperation is to support the Government of Jamaica (GOJ) in developing and launching a first-of-its-kind Fiscal Research Center (FRC) at The University of the West Indies (UWI). This TC will finance three types of activities: (i) a collaboration between the IDB's Vice Presidency for Countries, the Caribbean Country Department and relevant IDBG Divisions to design, produce and disseminate policy-oriented research with FRC and UWI-affiliated experts (including relevant data); (ii) development of curricula for students and practitioners in economic and public finance policy and practice; and, (iii) development and delivery of focused courses and related outputs that will help to build capacity for public servants from across the region.
