The Government is looking to reintroduce a centralised permit system for entertainment events held islandwide.
Minister of Culture, Gender, Entertainment and Sport, Olivia Grange, has announced plans to re-establish the ‘One Stop Shop’ system to streamline the process of securing permits.
The initiative will enable promoters and organisations staging events to submit a single, centralised application, which will then be routed to the relevant regulatory agencies.
Minister Grange made the announcement during the recent contract signing between the Ministry and Guardian Life Limited for the Group Health Insurance component of the Jamaica Entertainers and Creatives Insurance Plan.
She explained that the one-stop-shop system was initially piloted during the COVID-19 pandemic, when an online platform was introduced to centralise applications and enhance coordination among regulatory agencies.
Grange advised that discussions are under way with a service provider to assist in developing the new mechanism.
