(Photo: JIS) Latest News, News May 10, 2026 Manchester North East residents get help through GOV-360 initiative KINGSTON, Jamaica — Hundreds of residents from the constituency of Manchester North Eastern recently received well-needed assistance from five major Government agencies in a first-of-its-kind initiative organised by Member of Parliament for the area Ambassador Audrey Marks.. Dubbed Gov-360 Constituency Day, the residents were treated to the services of the National Identification
and Registration Authority (NIRA), Rural Agricultural Development Authority (RADA), Ministry of Labour and Social Security, Companies Office of Jamaica (COJ) and the Human Employment and Resource Training (HEART)/NSTA.. According to Marks, the aim of the Gov-360 Constituency Day was to improve citizens’ access to State services, particularly for those who faced challenges navigating multiple processes at different offices.. The COJ registered 17 new businesses, while the team from RADA registered 43 new farmers, conducted demonstrations
on hydroponics, drip irrigation, and provided information about crop management, and pest control, while some farmers signed up for extension services.. Executive director of NIRA, Dr Warren Vernon, whose team registered applicants for their NIDS card, described the day’s activity as very good.. He noted that many people who needed vital information from NIRA received it and the team distributed previously processed birth certificates.. “We enrolled 42 people for national ID cards and 60 others
signed up for birth certificates.. I pulled files for people who wanted marriage certificates to apply for their NIDS card, and did the approvals for them on the spot,” Dr Vernon said.. For Audrey Royale, parish manager for the Ministry of Labour and Social Security, the day was a resounding success.. “We signed up 137 people for NIS and PATH, and assisted many in retrieving lost NIS numbers.. Many of them wanted to know the
status of their application under the ROOFS programme and we were able to show the status of their files to them online,” Royale said.. And, Fredricka Webster, parish manager for HEART Trust/NT, said the people they saw, registered their interest based on their training and job placement opportunities.. “We saw 97 people for career guidance and counselling, job placement, institutional training interest, summer programme interest and diagnostic assessments completed.. The GOV-360 engagement in North East
Manchester was highly impactful, demonstrating the value of community-centred service delivery in advancing national training and employment objectives,” she said.. She further noted that the strong turnout and engagement levels underscore the continued need for accessible, responsive and targeted interventions within the constituency.. Meanwhile, Marks said the initiative reflects a broader commitment to advancing financial inclusion and social mobility across the country.. “This is part of an ongoing push to make it easier for our
people to access the systems that support their own personal progress.. When we simplify these processes and bring services closer to the community, we remove barriers, build understanding, and open doors to opportunity,” said Marks.. She pointed out that beyond the delivery of services, the initiative was designed to demystify government processes and empower residents with the knowledge to navigate them confidently.. “Giving residents more exposure and taking the mystery out of these systems is
critical; when people understand what is available to them and how to access it, they are better positioned to participate fully in the economy and improve their circumstances,” Marks said..
