KINGSTON, Jamaica — The Office of the Cabinet says it is moving to strengthen policy coordination, implementation and performance monitoring across the Government as the civil service adjusts to the new demands facing the country in the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa.

Cabinet Secretary and Head of the Civil Service, Audrey Sewell, in a statement said there can be no return to business as usual, with ministries, departments and agencies being required to improve how they coordinate their work and deliver results.

She made the commitment following the Cabinet Office’s annual strategic planning retreat, held in Trelawny last week under the theme, “Navigating the Fog: How to Execute When Strategy Shifts”.
