This campaign had two phases: the first phase lasted one year, beginning in November2008 with the 87 octane rollout, and the second phase accompanied the 90 octane rollout the followingyear. This campaign consisted of several strategies for informing fuel consumers about biofuels and foraddressing concerns that they had. The scope and experiences of this earlier campaign provide a goodstarting point and useful insights from which to develop the new public outreach program described inthis document.The Petroleum Corporation of Jamaica led the earlier campaign, which consisted of:A pilot study and public demonstrations of biofuel, specifically E10 and flex fuel vehicle useDistribution of technical informationStakeholder group meetingsE10 hotline where consumers with questions and comments could call and get informationAd campaigns utilizing print and electronic media as well as billboardsMedia interviewsPress conferencesSensitization workshops for specialized focal groupFamily fun dayPosters, brochures and flyersFeature stories in the newspapersIn talking with both those involved with the campaign and stakeholders whom it targeted, the followingthemes arose as to how it might have been improved:54
Run over a longer period so that the initial awareness is well reinforced; engagement should beearly and on-goingTarget a group of stakeholders broader than just consumers (although it is important to notethat for both phases of the E10 rollout the JGRA, marketing companies, etc. participated instakeholder meetings)Operate under a more organized structure with tasks and responsibilities assignedGet the media involved as early as possible by providing the basic facts, answering questionsand countering misinformationMake the public more aware of what is going on before final decisions on policy and regulationsare takenThe approach to developing stage two of the current campaign is to build off what has been donepreviously, both in the E10 roll out and other education and outreach activities, in order to use whatcapacity already exists in Jamaica and to strengthen it in order to meet the needs of such a campaign inJamaica.3. BarriersAnticipating and planning for the barriers to public education and outreach is a critical step in thecampaign development. Potential barriers are:Financial (the success of the campaign depends on a concerted, coordinated effort to educateand reach out to all stakeholders. This requires funding of many different activities and staff)Staffing (the campaign requires certain staff to coordinate and manage the multiple activities.Without enough staff and support for the staff, activities may fall to the side)Biofuels readiness (parts of the campaign cannot move forward until there is a market fordomestically-produced biofuels, until there are technical solutions for problems that arosepreviously, or until incentives are in place)Misinformation and direct opposition from alternative interests (may cause confusion andmisconceptions about biofuels in Jamaica, thereby counteracting the efforts of the campaign)Bureaucratic delays (biofuels development in Jamaica requires several political, technical,business, financial and education activities to move forward together. Bureaucratic delays mayoccur in any number of organizations critical to these activities which then delay severalconnected activities)Lack of monitoring (without adequate ongoing monitoring, feedback and adaptation of thecampaign, the campaign will be less effective)55
