The United States pledged $4.5 million through a four-year Child Protection Compact (CPC) to help Jamaica establish a program to prevent child trafficking.
The CPC works with foreign governments to help reduce child trafficking by helping establish agreements and projects tailored to each country. According to the Jamaican government’s information services website, Jamaica is the fourth country selected for a CPC partnership, and the first in the Caribbean. The others are Ghana, Peru, and the Philippines.
