KINGSTON, Jamaica, CMC – The Portia Simpson Miller government says it will establish a comprehensive database of Jamaican professionals and investors abroad.
"We will be embarking on a mapping of this later on in the year with the assistance from the International Organization on Migration," said junior Foreign Affairs and Foreign Trade Minister, Arnaldo Brown.
He said the database would be a critical tool in engaging the Diaspora in the country's development and that all countries that have well-developed Diaspora models, have a comprehensive database of their nationals, who are in strategic places, and are highly influential and successful.
