Jamaica Social Investment Fund
- Jamaica Social Investment Fund
The Jamaica Social Investment Fund was established in 1996 as a component of the Government of Jamaica's national poverty alleviation strategy. It was designed to channel money - through loans and grants - into some of the island nation's small-scaled community based projects.[cite web|author=MIS Web Team, JSIF|publisher=Jamaica Social Investment Fund|date=2008|accessdate=2008-07-23|title=About JSIF|url=http://www.jsif.org/about_jsif.asp] It is a temporary organization, originally intended to run until 2000, but presently has agreements that it will continue until 2013.
