Project Management Part 3
• 2006-7: Cockpit Citizens Association(CCA) – EFJ funded project
The Cockpit Citizens Association CCA received a grant from the Environmental Foundation of Jamaica
EFJ to do a public education project focusing on the importance of wetlands. This included a series
of workshops and field trips to sites in the area, placing appropriate signs as well as an end of project
expo. C-CAM staff conducted the workshops and led the field trips and we were also a member of the
implementation/project management committee.
• 2007-8: Oxfam/ECHO - Post Dean Recovery Project - J$16m
This project included conducting surveys in affected communities to determine the needs of persons
impacted by the hurricane. Working in collaboration with Oxfam we replaced some five hundred (500)
toilets some of which were urine separating toilets, placed communal water tanks in six (6) communities
and kept them filled with potable water until the public supply could be restored, provided some residents
with rain water harvesting solutions, hired and trained some twenty five (25) community members to
assist with data collection and data entry. In addition we hired construction contractors who provided
heavy equipment to work along with community members to remove storm created debris from some
eleven (11) communities in conjunction with NSWMA & Bouygues Travaux Publics. We also hired and
trained twenty (20) community persons to provide proper public health and hygiene practice instruction
in schools, churches, business places and house to house in the communities. This project was a jointly
managed by C-CAM and Oxfam staff.
