KINGSTON, Jamaica — Chief Executive Officer of the National Reconstruction and Resilience Authority (NaRRA), Ambassador Antony Anderson, will travel to Peru from August 9 to August 13 to gain insights into that country’s rebuilding programme and engage key stakeholders on resilient construction and project implementation.

The visit is being facilitated by the United Kingdom (UK) Government, which partnered with Peru through a government-to-government supported reconstruction programme. It will provide an opportunity for NaRRA to draw on lessons from Peru’s internationally recognised reconstruction experience. The projects were delivered through a structured partnership with the UK that prioritised local capacity building alongside infrastructure delivery, as Jamaica advances its own recovery and resilient rebuilding efforts.

It is Ambassador Anderson’s first visit to the South American country since assuming leadership of NaRRA. The visit comes as the authority ramps up its mobilisation and operationalisation phase. It builds on an earlier UK-facilitated engagement led by Minister without Portfolio, Robert Morgan, in March this year.
