Welcome to
Facilitators For a Better Jamaica (FFBJ) website. Upon identifying the clear
need for an independent voice in speaking up for Jamaicans interests at home and
abroad. FFBJ seeks to provide a strong and influential voice in the community
and within the political arena.
Facilitators for a Better Jamaica is a Think Tank and lobbying group that
specialises in being an effective voice with a mandate to speak up for Jamaica
and Jamaicans interest in the United Kingdom and internationally.
Think Tanks are organisations conducting political research activities in
educating and illuminating civil society and, most especially, providing advice
to decision makers. In reality, many think tanks are little more than public
relations fronts, generating self-serving scholarship that serves the advocacy
goals of their industry sponsors.
Lobbying is a collaborative effort constructed to achieve some result, typically
from government authorities and elected officials. Working with a lobbying group
you can enjoy meeting others who share your interests and concerns, Learn
effective techniques, Coordinate your efforts with others for greater impact and
Stay informed of pending legislation.
Think tanks in the UK includes Adam Smith Institute, Asia- Pacific Foundation,
The Bow Group, Centre for European Reform, Centre for Policy Studies, Centre for
Reform and Crime and Society Foundation these are now joined by Facilitators For
a Better Jamaica.
To become a part of FFBJ all we ask is for men and women, young or old (and
diverse) with the driving determination to place Jamaica and Jamaicans on the
bargaining platforms across the globe. To be able to partnership with us to
ultimately build a strong and vibrant Jamaican community in the United Kingdom
and the rest of the world.
