The TWG’s have oversight of the broader goals of Vision 2030 through the Sector Plans, which are themselves informed by the three-year Medium-Term Socio-Economic Framework (MTF). The CO will continue to participate in the relevant TWGs and, wherever possible utilize the indicators generated for measurement of achievement of national priorities, particularly in the 2012-15 MTF, as the primary indicators for the outputs planned for 2012-16. 4.3 The Country Programme 2012-2016, aims to help Jamaica realize the MDGs and the National Development Plan - Vision 2030, as articulated in the Medium Term Framework (MTF) 2012-15.
