If the Jamaica Social Investment Fund (JSIF) has achieved remarkable things, it is because the organization has always understood
the importance of establishing solid partnerships as a crucial factor for fulfilling its mandate of poverty alleviation. By strategically
joining forces with key partners, the organization ensures that there is a reduction in the duplication of efforts and allows for a
more efficient utilization of scarce resources.

Over the years, the Fund has had relationships with a myriad of International Development Partners which include: the Canadian
International Development Agency, Caribbean Development Bank, Department for International Development, European Union,
Government of Jamaica, Government of Japan, Government of the Netherlands, Government of Venezuela, Inter-American
Development Bank, OPEC Fund for International Development and the World Bank.
