Jamaica is looking to partner with the Clinton Foundation to assist with Hurricane Melissa recovery, according to Minister Olivia Grange, who is in charge of Government. The announcement followed a meeting with former United States President Bill Clinton in St Andrew on Thursday.

In a post on her official Facebook page, Grange said it was her pleasure to share the evening with Clinton at a private dinner hosted by Sandals hotel boss Ambassador Adam Stewart, along with senior members of the Government and other officials.

"We remain deeply grateful for the tremendous support provided in the aftermath of Hurricane Melissa. We look forward to partnering with the Clinton Foundation," said Grange who is leading Government as Prime Minister Dr Andrew Holness travels overseas on official business.

Grange said earlier on Thursday Clinton was taken on an aerial tour to observe damage caused by Hurricane Melissa, which slammed Jamaica on October 28 killing at least 45 persons and leaving more than a $1 trillion in damage.

The Clinton Foundation is an international non-profit organisation known for its work in disaster recovery, health, climate resilience and economic development worldwide.
