The Government has reaffirmed its commitment to Project STAR (Social Transformation and Renewal) through a new $200 million public-private partnership spanning 24 months.

Deputy Prime Minister and Minister of National Security and Peace, Dr Horace Chang, made the disclosure in a message delivered by Deputy Commissioner of Police, Warren Clarke, during a Project STAR donor breakfast, held at the Terra Nova All-Suite Hotel in St Andrew on Thursday.

Project STAR is a transformative social and economic development initiative led by the Private Sector Organisation of Jamaica (PSOJ), in collaboration with the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) and powered by local communities.
