EU Ambassador Paola Amadei completed an energetic
four-year tour of duty in Jamaica and other Caribbean and Latin American
countries. She celebrated Jamaica’s
40-year partnership with the European Union last year; we have benefitted
magnanimous funding in the areas of poverty reduction, education, agriculture,
housing, health and gender equality.

Her
passion for gender equality was a special feature at a farewell event held in
her honour last week. We were invited to
sign our support at the UN’s HeforShe.org website, and all the gentlemen in the
room joined her for a “HeforShe” moment, captured on my Twitter page
@souldancing.
Ambassador Paola will not be abandoning her ties with
our region. She heads to Germany where she will take up the post of Executive
Director of the European Union-Latin America & Caribbean (EU-LAC)
Foundation. We thank her for her
generous engagement in Jamaica and send best wishes to her and her family.
