ENVIRONMENTAL MANAGEMENT FRAMEWORK (EMF)

The Jamaica Social Investment Fund finances and implements a variety of community projects. These projects are expected to positively impact on the environment. However, the possibility exists that negative environmental effects may occur. These negative consequences such as pollution, land erosion and deforestation, should be mostly local and reversible. 

It is against this background that JSIF has developed an Environmental Management Framework (EMF) to manage these potential adverse impacts.  The EMF was also created to ensure compliance with the requirements of Jamaican environmental laws and regulations and the relevant policies of its funding agencies. The EMF is applicable to all projects financed by JSIF.
