This loan supported a variety of sub-projects planned by the Jamaica Social Investment Fund. Works included were the construction and rehabilitation of schools, day and healthcare centers, rural roads and food storage/processing facilities. All sub-projects were selected by the communities themselves, and thus received a high level of acceptance, as well as creating a number of employment opportunities.
