AGP Executive Report

Last update: an hour ago

Sacramental Cannabis Governance: Jamaica is intensifying consultations on the sacramental cannabis framework, with ministers weighing how to strengthen coordination and protect legitimate religious rights while keeping the regulated industry from being exploited. Dairy for Schools: The Heifer Redistribution Programme will send 400 pregnant heifers to dairy farmers and educational institutions, including Knockalva Polytechnic, Northern Caribbean University and Sydney Pagon STEM Academy, to rebuild the sector after Hurricane Melissa and support school nutrition. Child Safety Numbers: Jamaica’s National Children’s Registry recorded 14,602 child abuse and care concerns in 2025 (up 5%), with investigations completed on 11,723 cases and referrals to partners like the Office of the Children’s Advocate. Women’s Sports Spotlight: With Spain winning the men’s World Cup, attention turns to the 2027 Women’s World Cup in Brazil (June 24–July 25). Community Resilience in St James: A Montego Bay mural push is encouraging more businesses to open wall space for public art, building local pride after recent recovery efforts. Culture & Entertainment: Taste of Reggae Sumfest closed with Vybz Kartel and Mavado performing together—turning a long-running dancehall rivalry into a shared moment. Beauty & Loss: Former Miss Universe Jamaica finalist LaToya Malcolm has died at 35; details on cause of death were not yet released.
