Official page of the Delegation of the European Union to Jamaica. The Head of the EU Delegation to Jamaica is Ambassador Paola Amadei.

Jamaica, as a member of the Caricom Community plays a vital role in policy discussion between Caricom and the EU as well as in coordinating the benefits of resources made available under the EU strategy for the Caribbean. Jamaica is also one of the countries that participate in the EU-Latin America (LAC) summits bi-annually in an effort to better coordinate action in political, social and economic spheres. EU Jamaica carries out activities under The Cotonou Agreement which is the most comprehensive partnership agreement between developing countries and the EU. Since 2000, it has been the framework for the EU's relations with 79 countries from Africa, the Caribbean and the Pacific (ACP). EU Jamaica also bears the responsibility of carrying out EU policies and building and maintaining existing partnerships that promote growth, stability and development. With its partners, EU Jamaica works in tandem to develop and carry out various projects that can only serve to benefit our country, and offer support to the ongoing process of regional integration within the Caricom Community.

🇪🇺🇯🇲 One year on, Jamaica can count on Team Europe!

One year after Hurricane Melissa, the European Union continues to stand shoulder to shoulder with Jamaica — from emergency relief to long-term recovery and rebuilding.

⚡ Over USD12 million relief supplies and emergency funding mobilised. The EU and Member States Belgium, France, Germany, Spain, Austria, Luxembourg, the Netherlands, Slovakia and Greece joined forces to deliver a swift and powerful response to support Jamaica.

🚑 From emergency funding and field hospital to shelter, water, food, medical kits, power generators, water sanitation equipment, weather services and satellite connections, European solidarity translated into action on the ground.

🏗️ Beyond emergency relief, the EU has provided a €5 million (ca. USD 5,8 M) grant supporting Jamaica’s National Reconstruction and Resilience Authority (NaRRA), to help Jamaica rebuild stronger and more resilient.

The EU’s long term cooperation on green and digital transitions, human development, climate resilience, transport connectivity and logistics will also contribute to Jamaica’s recovery.

From solidarity to resilience, Team Europe is here for the long haul! 🇪🇺🤝🇯🇲
