CDA under review

The Child Development Agency, CDA is to undertake a comprehensive review of its programmes and operations.

The agency says this is to accommodate strategic planning over the next three to five years.

Chief Executive Officer of the CDA, Carla Francis-Edie, says the agency will be re-working its strategic vision and make them align to socio-economic factors, as well as emerging issues affecting children in Jamaica.

Additionally, she says the CDA will focus on the rehabilitation, renovation and reconfiguration of the Glenhope Place of Safety in Kingston.

The facility was affected by a fire last November.
