What this is
YardWorksJA tracks selected public works in Jamaica: highways, bridges, water, hospitals, housing, ports, energy and more. It is an independent tracker, not a government website or a complete inventory of every project in Jamaica.
Where the data comes from
We monitor selected public project and news pages from these official sources about once a week:
- SPARK — SPARK Programme
- NWA — National Works Agency
- MEGID — Ministry of Economic Growth & Infrastructure
- PIOJ — Planning Institute of Jamaica
- JIS — Jamaica Information Service
- UDC — Urban Development Corporation
- NHT — National Housing Trust
- PAJ — Port Authority of Jamaica
- OPM — Office of the Prime Minister
- NaRRA — National Reconstruction and Resilience Authority
- MOHW — Ministry of Health & Wellness
- NWC — National Water Commission
- AAJ — Airports Authority / Sangster International (MBJ)
- MSETT — Ministry of Science, Energy, Telecommunications & Transport
- MNSJ — Ministry of National Security & Ministry of Justice
Only major projects are kept. Routine work like pothole patching or drain cleaning is left out. When two agencies report the same project, we show it once and list both.
Coverage depends on what the monitored sources publish and what can be collected from their pages. Some projects, agencies and parishes may be missing or underrepresented. A project not appearing here does not mean it does not exist.

Accuracy
Details are gathered automatically and may be incomplete or out of date. Always check the official source linked on each project. Projects with no update in 12 months are marked "No recent update". If something is wrong, use "Report a correction" on the project's page.
In the absence of official media or photos, AI-generated or stock images may be used.
