FIPA Global
Leadership Without Illusions. Hard Questions. The Safe Space.
Mental Health. Trade
FIPA GLOBAL (The Farquharson Institute of Public Affairs) was established in 1917 to safeguard trade, industry, and agriculture in Jamaica. Originally envisioned as a model organization for the British Commonwealth, FIPA counted among its honorary members prominent figures from the British House of Lords and House of Commons—see the document in Our History. Over a century later, at the new FIPA, we continue to uphold the founding principles that remain relevant today, while embracing fresh perspectives for the modern era.
