About project STAR
Project STAR (Social Transformation and Renewal) is a social and economic transformation initiative created by the Private Sector Organisation of Jamaica (PSOJ) in partnership with the Jamaica Constabulary Force (JCF) and driven by communities to bring about societal transformation through targeted interventions in under-resourced areas of Jamaica.
We consult and collaborate with community stakeholders to identify needs, then work with partners - public, private, NGOs, multilaterals, individuals at home and diaspora - to connect communities with the resources and services agreed in consultation.
