The programme runs for five years, ending in 2025.The initiatives under the United States Agency for International Development (USAID)-funded unique project are wide-ranging, designed with the involvement of participating communities, the government and dozens of leaders from multiple sectors.Speaking about the financial literacy component, USAID’s Paul Teeple said: “For parents to be able to support their families, they need to be able to earn more and to manage the money they have in a more productive way.”In this episode of Impacting Jamaica with Keisha Hill, Mr. Teeple outlined details of Positive Pathways, its various components and what’s coming next.
