The 2014 Budget Estimates were compiled using the methodology of performance based budgeting; which was introduced by the CCM government during its first term in office with the objective of improving governance, accountability, and efficiency within government.

It is a more rational budgeting system which focuses attention on goals and priorities and target resources strategically to achieve the best possible results.
There is no doubt that the system has improved budgeting and financial management in government since its introduction, but more needs to be done to critically analyze the effectiveness of programmes and take remedial action to avoid over expenditure.

The present government intends to embark on a programme to reduce waste and mismanagement of resources in an effort to restore fiscal balance in the medium term.
To achieve this objective, we will require a responsive budgeting system that focuses more on results and curtail or eliminate programmes that are ineffective.

We have already started the process of reducing unproductive expenditure and consolidating existing programmes to improve efficiency in the allocation of resources; however, this process will take two to three years of painstaking effort to achieve success.
In the future, we hope to link the performance budgeting system with the reform of the civil service to better aligned rewards and incentives with the effective delivery of programmes.

This will limit the practice of promotion based on seniority, and provide greater transparency and objectivity to motivate all employees to achieve their full potential.
By continued improvement the performance budgeting system, will achieve the government’s goals of fiscal consolidation, priority funding for growth enhancing programmes, and improvement in efficiency and corporate governance in general.

This arm of government will therefore through its roles and functions seek Island Administration, Heads of Ministries, Departments and Statutory Bodies.

95 1.1 Minister’s Message Dear Citizen, The financial position of the Nevis Island Administration is still fragile as a result of the mismanagement of the past.

However, in just eight (8) months in office, the situation is improving gradually.

January to September 2013 has reported improvement in both the current account balance and the overall primary balances.

The overall balance which included a deficit of $0.574 million in 2012 has moved into a surplus position of $0.732 million in 2013.
Current revenue for the period amounted to $88.36 million, outperforming the 2012 period by 2.73%.

During the next fiscal year, we will focus on macroeconomic stability, inclusive growth and employment.

The fiscal stablilization programme will continue with emphasis being placed on active debt management, improving tax administration and expenditure management.
With limited resources, the government will play a facilitative role in private sector expansion in critical areas such as hotel expansion, green energy, entrepreneurship, agriculture, financial services, and health and wellness.

These have been identified as the growth areas that could propel the economy, generate employment and reduce poverty.

We also continue with social programmes and policies to ensure that growth includes various sectors and benefits a large segment of the population.
There are major challenges ahead as we cope with the global recession and the political and economic situation.

However through hardwork, dedication and the innovative creative policies of the CCM Government, Nevisian will once again enjoy a decent standard of living.

I appeal for patience and understanding with the knowledge and confidence that we will surmount the challenges as we chart new direction for the people of Nevis.

152 1.1 Minister’s Message The theme chosen for this fiscal year is quite appropriate, that is, “facilitating macroeconomic stability, inclusive growth and employment”.

This is so because the Ministry’s efforts are geared towards achieving this goal through its policies, programmes, projects and activities.
The areas of focus for fiscal year 2014 include the implementation of the long awaited Nevis Water Supply Enhancement Project; the completion of the Hamilton Road Project and the commencement of the rehabilitation of other roads such as the Hanley’s Road and Brown Hill; Improvements in the Planning Process; and the continuation and realization of geothermal energy on Nevis.
Despite delays in the procurement process we are pleased to report that civil works have started on the Nevis Water Supply Enhancement Project.

This is in the form of constructing the concrete pads that would accommodate the Reservoirs that have already been ordered from the Supplier.

Pipes, materials and equipment are being procured and should arrive on the island in time for January 2014.

This means that actual physical work should start within the first quarter of 2014.
This project will bring jobs and an added boost to the economic activity in the country contributing to its macroeconomic outlook.

Hamilton road project has recommenced, and is now being carried out by local service providers under the direction of our engineers at the Public Work Department (PWD).

We anticipate that works will continue through year end and the early part of 2014.
This is a significant shift from the policy of offering significantly high contracts with most of the monies leaving the island, to realizing significant cost savings to our treasury while at the same time employing local service providers and circulating the monies within the local economy.

The PWD also completed certain sections on the Brown Pasture Road at significantly reduced cost to the administration.
In 2014 it is our intention to deploy an aggressive road programme which will add to the overall capital investment and economic and social development of Nevis.

In the area of Physical Planning, it is our intention to streamline the planning process to make it more efficient in terms of processing and passing plans.

The Department of Physical Planning will introduce a new electronic form for applicants and people doing business with this department.
In addition we will work with other agencies such as the Department of Environment Health to ensure that our plans are properly evaluated and that what is approved on the plans is implemented during construction.

The final area is in the development of the geothermal resources of Nevis.

Since taking office in January of 2013 the Nevis Island Administration has been working diligently to move this important project forward with the help of strategic partners.
In the interim your government has implemented a policy to bring much needed relief for consumers by granting twenty five percent discount on the fuel surcharge component of electric bills.

The goal of the NIA however, is to completely remove the fuel surcharge and bring stability in the price of electricity.
153 We must admit that 2013 was a difficult year and no doubt there will be some challenges for the year 2014, but we remain confident in overcoming through well prudent planning, and the implementation of programmes and projects that will facilitate macroeconomic stability.

We want to thank the people of Nevis for their patience and understanding.
We thank the various Departments, the Heads of Department, Managers and Staff within the Ministry of Communications and Works for their cooperation and hard work during fiscal year 2013.

We look forward for a fruitful 2014 as we take the Nevis economy forward for the betterment of the lives of all the people.
Best wishes to all Honourable U.Troy Liburd ----------------------------------- Junior Minister of Communications, Works, Public Utilities, Posts, Physical Planning, Natural Resources and Environment 1.2 Executive Summary The following represents the mission, goals, objectives and activities of the Ministry of Communications, Works, Public Utilities, Posts, Physical Planning, Natural Resources and Environment.
For the next three years the Ministry intends to take an integrated approach in implementing the programmes.

We will continue to empower management and staff to improve productivity and output.

We would like to thank all Department Managers, staff and the general public and agencies for their support over the last budget period and look forward for your cooperation and collaboration as we seek to develop Nevis to make it a better place for all.

2.4.1.5 Main Challenges to Achieve Portfolio’s Annual Objectives FINANCIAL The Ministry has the responsibility for Utilities.

There is an increasing trend in the price of oil which will affect prices and hence the consumers of utility services.

This trend is likely to continue and the government will have to double its efforts to reduce the cost of energy in Nevis.
The NIA procures supplies regionally and prices are likely to increase given the global situation.

The Ministry expends a high percentage of its projected budget.

There is an increasing demand for work to be done, projects to be implemented, and solutions to be realized with limited financial resources.

HUMAN RESOURCE CONSTRAINT The implementation of this programme requires skilled and non skilled workers.

There is a challenge in finding skilled personnel to execute activities in many areas.
The increasing demands of government and the public mean that more skilled workers may have to be employed to implement programmes and activities.

Even at the Ministry level, there is a lack of adequate staff to assist in overseeing and coordinating policies, programmes, and activities.

TRANSPORTATION AND EQUIPMENT The Ministry spends large sums of money on rental of equipment and vehicles.

In addition, to executing basic functions, vehicles have to be rationalized.
Many of these vehicles are old and need replacing.

The challenge is to acquire new equipment and to obtain additional transport to execute programmes effectively and efficiently.

POLICY Many of the programmes require policy directions.

There is a need for more policies to give directions.

The development of policies require the collection, organisation and analysis of statistical data to inform policy formulation and development.
There is a need for the relevant information and technical input for policy formulation which poses a challenge.

156 MAINTENANCE COST The infrastructure systems have to be maintained and consistently improved.

These require financial and human resources.

Government has more assets, building, equipment and vehicles to be maintained with the same or less resources.
SEVERE WEATHER/DISASTERS The impact of severe weather conditions have escalated the maintenance and rehabilitation costs of the infrastructure.

These may include flooding, fires, tropical storms (hurricanes), earthquakes, etc.

No one can predict what we will face and the impact of natural and man made occurences.

MONITORING AND ENFORCEMENT Lack of resources (human and financial) and the need to review existing legislation and enact new ones poses a challenge.
3.1 Important Initiatives Contributing to the Achievement of the Annual Objectives Increase the awareness of the public regarding the development application process by providing radio and television programmes, seminars, training, and pamphlets.

Improve the accessibility for pedestrian and vehicular traffic by rehabilitating and maintaining the island main roads and village roads.
Adequate maintenance of vehicles and equipment for efficient and effective service through the establishment and the implementation of maintenance schedules for all government vehicles and equipment.

Improve customer service with the introduction of Customer Service Division which addresses customer complaints in the water sector and provide information and feedback to customers.
Reduce the amount of unaccounted water in the distribution system by improving the distribution network and collecting adequate data on water production and distribution on a timely basis.

Increase present revenue generated from the postal service by promoting the additional services such as express mail.

209 1.1 Minister’s Message The Ministry of Agriculture remains at the forefront of efforts to increase both agricultural production and productivity on Nevis.

Over the past years, the demand for local products has steadily increased and the Department of Agriculture will be working with our local farmers in leading the charge to have that increased demand satisfied.

The Department has and will continue to create the enabling environment for sustainable growth and development of the sector.
The Department of Agriculture has placed an incredible amount of emphasis on improved technology which is being transferred to our farmers.

Green House technology and its use continue to gain momentum on the island.

A decision has been taken to remodel the existing shade house at the Government Station at Prospect with the aim to facilitate greater productivity.

The Department is in the process of procuring three additional shade houses in an effort to demonstrate the technology to our farmers.
I am pleased to report that our local farmers are responding favourably to our drive to promote Green House Technology.

One farmer has already taken the initiative to establish two shade houses which should be coming into production next year.

The Nevis Island Administration in collaboration with the CARICOM Development Fund continues their efforts of drilling a well at Indian Castle, primarily to be utilized by Indian Castle Stock Farm and expansion of crop production also in Indian Castle area.
The Ministry of Agriculture continues to promote our “Buy Local Eat Local” campaign.

However, to provide proper support to the campaign, we must impress upon the Department of Agriculture and local farmers to intensify their efforts; not only to meet the local demand, but also to satisfy the increasing demand of the tourism sector to promote our local culture.

There have been tremendous increases in numerous vegetable productions during 2013.
The production of pumpkin increased by over 100%, watermelon by more than 50%, cantaloupe/honey dew melon by about 40%, tomato by 25%, sweet corn by 30%, sorrel by 25% and sweet potato by 35%.

Due to the increases, the island was self sufficient in a number of products for a considerable period of the year.

Plans are afoot for production of various crops.

The main thrust will be onion production with an anticipatory increase of 400%.
farmers and The Department of Agriculture's Marketing Unit continues to provide the link between our the hospitality sector, providing our hotels, restaurants and supermarkets with an avenue where they can procure in bulk fresh produce regularly.

The year 2013 saw a dramatic increase in the throughput of produce which reflects the overall increase in production on the island.

A total of 64,974 pounds of vegetables and fruits were channeled through the unit for 2012.
For the period January to September 2013, a total of 138,468.00 pounds of produce has already passed through the Marketing Unit, more than doubling the figure for the whole of 2012.

210 At our Agro Processing Center there are continued efforts to improve the presentation of our products.

Output at the Agro Processing Center has increased by at least 30% over the past year.

Despite our limited financial resources, the Ministry will ensure that more equipment are procured for the center.
My Ministry will foster deeper collaboration with the Agro Processors Co-operative and ensure that the members have access to the center as they continue to improve on their products.

Improvement continues at the Abattoir in terms of output as well as its variety of products.

To add to the already wide variety of value added products, beef nuggets were produced for the first time in 2013.
Additionally, the abattoir has entered a niche market with the production of halal burgers, choice cuts as well as regular cuts of meat.

Since the commencement of the production of halal products in 2013, the demand has steadily increased.

Plans remain afoot to expand the processing unit structure and procurement of sufficient equipment at the Abattoir.

The demand for local meat is expanding rapidly as is always evident during the hosting of our annual Open Day.
My Ministry in moving forward will engage the staff at the Livestock Division as well as our livestock farmers in charting a course of improved livestock production and productivity on the island.

Additionally, my Ministry is seeking, through partnership with the private sector to upgrade and expand the veterinary clinic.

Honourable Alexis Jeffers ____________________________ Minister of Agriculture, Lands, Co-operatives, and Fisheries 1.2 Executive Summary The Ministry of Agriculture comprises of three (3) Departments (Agriculture, Fisheries, Cooperatives) and one (1) Statutory Body (The Nevis Housing and Land Development Corporation) with the latter being administered exclusively by its own management team.

The ongoing global economic crisis has demonstrated the importance of cultivating and maintaining strategic alliances.

As such, the Ministry of Agriculture has significantly re- engaged with IICA, FAO, CARDI, and the Republic of China - Taiwan Mission to collaborate on various projects such as the Greenhouse (IICA) and Arrogation (FAO).

In other words, healthy people are more productive.

Productive and competitive people are the drivers of development.

There is no development without health services and healthy people.

With a current life expectancy of 75 years, and infant and maternal mortality rates at significantly low levels, Nevis has recorded great strides in the development of its health sector.

This government will continue to work to maintain these strides and advance the health sector in other areas.
In 2014, the Nevis Island Administration will continue to heighten its efforts in the promotion of both public health and institutional health initiatives, with a focus on all sectors of the population with intensified focus on the areas of non-communicable diseases, mental illness and violence.

Realizing that an ounce of prevention is worth a pound of cure, in 2014, my government will redouble its efforts in the area of health promotion and prevention.
From early childhood care through senior care, our health system will seek to cater to the needs of all of our population.

The School Health Programme continues to expand through partnerships with other Ministries including the Ministry of Agriculture.

It is predicted that the recent recruitment of a Master Chef in 2013 by the Ministry of Health will translate into healthy options in the school meals menu and greater consumption of healthier food by our children.
With approximately five hundred persons including children recorded on the diabetic and hypertensive registers initiatives targeting youth are of critical importance.

In 2014, my government hopes to build synergies between, the Alexandra Hospital and the Flamboyant Home and the Agricultural Department so that all clients including patients and residents have the best in fresh wholesome meals.
My government continues to encourage our citizens to take advantage of the screening services available on-island to detect early signs, if any, of prostate, colon, breast and cervical cancer, plus HIV/AIDS, diabetes and hypertension.

Additional investment will be made to improve the hospital lab so that more tests are done in Nevis, thereby reducing the turnaround time for results.

This investment will also include the construction of a new laboratory facility.
In addition to health promotion and prevention, my government intends to increase services available in community health centers.

In so doing, we commenced a pilot programme to make medicines available at the Brownhill Medical Facility.

This pilot project is being assessed and will be extended in 2014 to other villages once the results are known.

To further improve access to health services, we intend to increase physician services in Community Health Centers.
The year 2014 will see the 239 introduction of an additional physician and extended doctor’s hours at Community Health Centres.

Finally, access to healthcare means people having the means to pay for services they need.

To this end, in 2014, my government will work assiduously to launch Universal Medical Insurance for all residents in Nevis.

Research shows that one in three persons already have personal medical insurance.

This is a good thing in that they have not waited on the government.
My government encourages more people to buy their own medical insurance.

Naturally, there are those who do not have the funds to buy their own medical insurance.

The government plan is for these persons.

More information will be provided at a later date suffice it to say that it is my government’s top priority for 2014.

Regarding the care of seniors, my Government will spare no effort in showing our love and appreciation to them.
Programmes through Social Services continue but in the area of health care, we shall in 2014, make a renewed push to train family members and other caregivers to care for their loved ones at home.

It is better to be cared for in your own home; in the surroundings and from people you know, rather than in a facility.

In any event, space at the Flamboyant Home is very limited.
At the Alexandra Hospital, my government will continue to invest in the training of doctors, nurses and allied health professionals to partner with external healthcare providers to ensure that the best available institutional health care is provided to our citizens and residents.

Nursing training is available locally at many levels from that of nursing attendant to bachelors degree level.

We look forward to increased registration of men and women in the various available programmes.
Cognizant of the unfortunate increase in intentional injuries plaguing our community specialized training in accident and emergency nursing will also be a priority.

In addition to human resource investment, there will be further investment to improve health facilities and technology including the equipping of a new surgical suite.

We are committed to have this suite fully equipped and operational by the second quarter of 2014.
The suite will be multi-purpose; used not only for urology but also for orthopedics and cardiology procedures, and will also serve as a medical tourism attraction.

Additionally, ophthalmic services will also be enhanced through the availability of a Yttrium Aluminum Garnet (YAG) Laser, phacoemulsifier and other equipment which will facilitate cataract and other surgeries.
We look forward to the expansion of public private sector partnerships in other areas of secondary and tertiary healthcare including that of renal and diagnostic health services.

As Minister of Health my commitment to the advancement of the health sector remains firm.
With a continued focus on investment in health financing, human resource 240 development, the formation of public and private sector partnerships, and the investment in health technologies among other strategies, it is anticipated that 2014 will be a rewarding year for the Ministry of Health.

Honourable Mark Brantley ___________________________ Ministry with responsibility for Health 1.2 Executive Summary The Ministry of Health is the National Health Authority on the island of Nevis.
As such it will continue to institute strategies plans and programmes in order to ensure that the concept of health for all is realized in accordance with the national health goals which are centered on the provision of quality health services that are affordable and accessible to the population.

In 2014, the Ministry of Health will heighten its efforts in the area of health promotion, and thus health promotion initiatives will be incorporated into all priority areas in which the Ministry operates.
Particular focus will be placed on behavioural change which is critical to the prevention and control of non-communicable diseases which represent the greatest burden of disease in the population.

A pilot programme geared towards primary school –aged students will provide practical cooking skills to reinforce education on healthy eating practices provided via the School Health Programme.
This innovative practical approach to healthy eating will also be incorporated into all public health programmes thus providing an accessible health service.

Capacity building and institutional strengthening in the health sector will also be a priority in 2014.

In consultation with our health partners, the National Health Policy will be completed.
Other works contributing to the attainment of a sound policy, legal and institutional framework in the health sector will be realized including an ordinance governing the Alexandra Hospital as well as the development of a health disaster plan.

The provision of adequate, predictable and sustainable levels of financing for the health sector will also be a priority in 2014.
The recently completed National Health Accounts survey among other initiatives will contribute to the strategic information needed to implement a National Health Insurance Plan thus ensuring access to health for all.

In 2014 strategic information will also inform the Ministry of Health’s cervical cancer prevention and treatment initiatives as a study addressing the human papilloma virus (HPV) in the population will be undertaken.
241 The provision of adequate levels of knowledgeable, skilled and motivated personnel in the health sector will be priority in 2014.

The Mental Health Unit will see the addition of two clinical professionals in the area of psychiatry in that of a trained nurse and full time psychiatrist.

With approximately five hundred persons on the mental health register, investment in this area is critical.
Training of other health professionals in this field will solidify competency in this area as we strive to adopt a more holistic approach to health service delivery.

Strengthened capacity will also be realized in the area of cancer diagnostics with the availability of a lab technologist trained in cytology, thus allowing for the reading of pap smears locally.
With the mandate of the Ministry of Health including the protection of public health risks, the Health Authority will heighten its efforts in the area of Port Health in accordance with the International Health Regulations.

Human resource capacity will be strengthened in this area along with extended focus on the reduction of vectors at all points of entry.

With tourism as the mainstay of the economy, it is of paramount importance that our borders be protected.
The provision of suitable health facilities for the delivery of secondary healthcare will be recognized in 2014.

In addition to plans for a new lab facility, the expansion of community health facilities are also identified as priority.

The provision of other services including that of the establishment of a dialysis unit remain a consideration on the health agenda as we continue to discuss the feasibility with private local and regional partners.
As aforementioned, public/private sector partnerships will continue to be instrumental in the implementation of health initiatives.

Radiation oncology services, geriatric care, asthma education as well as a host of training opportunities will be facilitated through this medium.

With collaboration through these and other partnerships, it is anticipated that the Ministry of Health through the Alexandra Hospital and the six Public Health Facilities will deliver optimal health services to the population.
1.3 Management Representation Statement I submit, for tabling in Parliament, the annual Report on Plans and Priorities (RPP) for the Ministry of Health.

To the best of my knowledge, the information: - Accurately portrays the department's mandate, priorities, strategies and planned results of the organization.

- Is consistent with the disclosure principles contained in the Guidelines for Preparing a Report on Plans and Priorities.

242 - Is comprehensive and accurate.


- Is based on sound underlying departmental information and management systems.

I am satisfied as to the quality assurance processes and procedures used for the RPP's production.

The structure on which this document is based has been approved by the Ministry of Finance and is the basis for accountability for the results achieved with the resources and authorities provided.
Mrs. Nicole Slack-Liburd ______________________ Permanent Secretary 2.4.1.4 Main Activities Contributing to the Portfolio’s Annual Objectives The strategic objective of the Ministry of Health is to assess, formulate, coordinate, implement, promote and sustain policies and programmes to enhance the health and well-being of the people of Nevis, with special emphasis on prevention.
In accordance with its strategic objective the Health Authority will execute a number of activities to attain successful implementation of its planned initiatives.

The Office of the Permanent Secretary will, develop and implement a financing mechanism to ensure universal coverage and access to needed health and medical services inclusive of procedures that foster equitable and seamless referral to services Federation.
not available the in The Health Disaster Coordinating Unit will implement measures to mitigate the impact of disasters and to foster rapid post-disaster restoration of services.

These efforts will involve the training of officers in the areas of Emergency Care and Treatment and Mass Casualty Management.

The development of a comprehensive disaster plan for the health sector is also a leading priority on the agenda.
The Health Promotion Unit will continue to strengthen its data collection processes as well as foster collaboration with other government sectors and Civil Society to collectively promote health and identify health problems in the population in an effort to promote healthy behavioural practices.

The Registrar General Department intends to finalize the computerization of all vital records over the next two (2) years with support from the Organization of American States.
243 The Oral Health Unit will continue to implement its mandate of reducing dental caries and lost dentition through the promotion of good dental health.

School Health Programme initiatives targeted at the grade one of the primary school, as well as school leavers and pre-school level will continue in 2014.
The reintroduction of the Fluoride Programme remains a priority as well as the completion of the Decayed, Missing and Filled Teeth (DMFT) survey which identifies the number of decayed, missing and filled teeth in children.
The Community Health Nursing Department will continue to take the leadership role in improving the health of the family throughout the life cycle with emphasis on providing comprehensive, community-based services through multi-disciplinary teams of care- providers responsible and accountable for the health and well-being of residents in specific geographic areas.

These community services will focus primarily on non communicable diseases such as diabetes and hypertension which make up the burden of disease.
The Mental Health Department will continue its mandate to provide treatment and support for clients by improving outreach programmes and communication channels for dialogue between the client, their health care providers and their families.
The Environmental Health Department will execute its mandate in improving the health of the environment by safeguarding clean air, potable water and ensuring safe food, effective waste collection and disposal, proper drainage, healthy premises, and the cleanliness of green spaces.

Activities in the areas of port health surveillance, vector control, water quality monitoring and food inspection programmes will therefore be a priority in 2014.
The Alexandra Hospital will continue to expand and upgrade secondary health services in partnership with private sector partners in the area of general diagnostics, cancer, geriatrics and other services.
2.4.1.5 Main Challenges to Achieve Portfolio’s Annual Objectives Policy Development: The Ministry understands the link between policy development and programme implementation; as such it will have to redouble its efforts in partnership with the Federal Ministry of Health to ensure revision of the Mental Health Act, Public Health Act, and Medical Act among others.

The National Health Policy, currently in revision will also be finalized in 2014.
244 Financial Constraints: The increasing cost of health care has placed a tremendous burden on the health care system which currently allows for access to free public health services and heavily subsidized institutional health care.

Health care expenditure has become unsustainable and as such alternative methods of financing must be considered.
Human Resource Constraints: Health is a labour intensive industry and there currently exists a shortage of human resource in the areas of nursing and nutrition in particular.

Physician specialists in the area of psychiatry, anesthesiology and obstetrics and gynecology are also in demand.

The Ministry of Health therefore has committed to the engagement in active recruitment and retention of these human resource professionals.
Technology: Although a relatively adequate paper based health information system is in existence at the Ministry of Health and its institutions and electronic health information system will improve the management of patient information as well as other types of information.
3.1 Important Initiatives Contributing to the Achievement of the Annual Objectives Human Resource Development: The Ministry of Health recognizes that in order to provide the high quality health services, an adequate number of personnel in the right mix are essential.

As such recruitment and training of persons in the areas of psychiatry, cytology, anesthetics and obstetrics and gynecology among others will allow for the successful attainment of objectives in public and institutional health.
Development of Policy and Legislative Framework: A number of Health Specific Policies and Acts remain in draft including the National Health Policy and the Mental Health Act for example.

With these and other documents targeted for completion in 2014 it is anticipated that the global objective for health which speaks to the formulation of policies will be satisfied.
Advancements in the availability of strategic information: The Ministry of Health in partnership with private sector partners has recently completed several research studies in the area of public health care utilization, childhood asthma and national health accounts.

This evidence will inform the planning and implementation of health initiatives in 2014.

283 1.1 Minister’s Message Over the past years, we have seen the Nevis economy weathering some tough times in the face of the continued fiscal uncertainty that has enveloped other parts of the world.
Tourism, as a critical economic driver for most of the countries of the developing world was most severly impacted by this crisis.

The policies that are intend for implementation, will embrace responsible government, which operates progressively and aggressively in an effort to move our country forward.
I am therefore confident that the programmes that we have put forward in this year's Plans and Priorities will play a key role in our government's plan to strengthen and deepen the differing facets of Nevis service-based economy, culture and information.

Our efforts will focus on promoting innovation in our approach to future tourism development, and on modernizing Nevis tourism's marketplace policies, among other areas.
A significant part of the Ministry's activities will involve developing the Nevis economy by implementing laws and other regulations to strengthen governance of the industry.

Tourism legislation is crucial in order to manage this very important part of our customer service.

The Taxi Legislation will be put into full operation and an overall comprehensive Tourism Policy will be revised in time for the 2015 season.
Other important customer service areas such as tour guiding will also be legislated in order to institute the requisite improvements.

The Private Sector is the backbone of our economy, thus it is critical to foster a partnership between sectors is the best way for us to see all stakeholders as proud players of a larger role in the development of our country’s tourism product.
In this regard we have embarked on a programme of aggressive partnering with some of the more currently visible, viable and sustainable projects on Nevis.

These include The Hamilton, which is a project being undertaken in the Cotton Ground beach area.

The ongoing Tamarind Cove Marina Project in Cades Bay and the Four Seasons Estates expansion will also have our blessing and support.

We also pledge our support to the continued advancement of the small business sector.
To this end, SEDU has been engaged to provide startup capital for small enterprises especially those that impacts our Tourism Development Product.

Our Product Development Division will be extremely busy in the coming months.
We realise that while we rely on the NTA to bring bountiful harvests of visitors to our shores, we have an equal obligation to ensure that the time spent here is enjoyable, uplifting and rewarding which will encourage repeat visitors out of first timers and lifers out of the repeat guests.

284 We will also seek to expand the diversification of the industry into niche areas such as Sports Tourism and Eco Tourism.
We note that Drag Racing and International Cycling are now two major features in our sports calendar.

As far as Drag Racing is concerned it is my intention as Minister to give my fullest support as we strive to make this a viable venture.

In this regard, the NIA plans to fully equip this venue with adequate lighting to allow for night racing.
Eco-tourism will be more than adequately served by the continued development of the Bath House and Stream Rehabilitation Project and the Saddle Hill and Surrounds Protection and Preservation Project.

Already beautification of the grounds surrounding the Bath House and Hotel has commenced and scheduled for completion is geared towards mid 2014.

Each of these projects will greatly impact our ability to deliver world class tourism experiences to our visitors.
Tourism in schools programme has had tangible outcome that speaks to the importance of educating young minds and stimulating youth interest in tourism.

Our students have been excelling in local and regional tourism awareness contests.

One of our students, placed third regionally in the Junior Division of the 2013 Florida Caribbean Cruise Association (FCCA) essay contest.
Importantly for our destination, the top three winners are announced at the opening ceremony of the FCCA Annual Conference to an audience comprising myriad of buyers and sellers of tourism products.

This year for the first time, Nevis won the CTO Caribbean Tourism Congress that was held in Martinique in October, as one of the activities for CTO’s annual State of the Industry Conference.

Our participant placed first and earned the coveted title, “Caribbean Junior Minister of Toursim”.
This CTO event receives extensive media coverage that has global out-reach.

Our tourism education and awareness programme is an important instrument for succession planning.

Students who have participated in our programmes have been motivated to pursue advance studies in Tourism which will equip them with the skills and competencies necessary to manage the industry responsibly, in the future.
We will also take measures to encourage the private sector to increase research and development investments and initiatives in order to improve their own commercialization outcomes.

A rich culture is the cornerstone of a thriving democracy.

It is our culture that makes it possible for us to bond ourselves meaningfully to our physical and social environment and to each other.

It is our culture that makes us one people.


As a matter of policy, the Nevis Island Government has placed culture at the centre of national development.

The challenge therefore, is to provide the institutional framework and informed cultural policy so as to enable people to find their place at the centre of their own development and devote their creativity, themselves and their society, and to make a meaningful contribution to the world.
, it must be recognised that Culture must feature significantly in any development plan.

It has become clear that even with all the advances in technology, the liberation of the innate creativity 285 The Department of information will continue to play a pivotal role in informing and sensitizing the Nevisian Public about the activities, functions and policies of the Nevis Island Administration.
The Department has also committed itself to educating and enlightening our people with governmental and non- governmental programmes in an effort to broaden the horizon of our people.

This they will do with great efficiency and accuracy.

I am confident that this year's Report on Plans and Priorities for Tourism Nevis delivers a comprehensive approach to recover, promote and maintain a strong and competitive tourist industry for Nevis.
I look forward to working with my Cabinet and departmental colleagues, as well as with the private sector and other levels of government, to achieve our common goal of creating jobs and growth and a more vibrant tourism product for the benefit of all Nevisians.

Honourable Mark Brantley ___________________________ Minister with responsibility for Tourism, Culture and Information 1.2 Executive Summary The following represents the mission, goals, activities and objectives of the Ministry of Tourism for 2014.

9.

2.4.1.5 Main Challenges to Achieve Portfolio’s Annual Objectives 1.

As in previous years, the main challenges to a successful completion and overall achievement of the Ministry's objectives for this year will be external.
In conjunction with our regional climate, the threat of hurricanes continues to be our greatest concern.

The 2013 hurricane season was predicted to be very active than its predecessor year that did not materialise.

However, we will always be wary of the hurricane season whatever the forecast or outcome as it is always beyond our control.

There are several reasons why a hurricane is undesirable.

First of all, tourism arrivals will undoubtedly fall off drastically.
Add to this, the expected loss of income due to layoffs, lack of movement of consumer goods and the general downturn in business.

2.

The recent escalation of crime and violence in the Federation threatens to take away one of our major selling points, no longer can we boast about peace and tranquility.

3.

Rising fuel prices has the effect of causing an increase in the cost of travel itself, especially from our major supply points.

4.
4.

Lack of Tourism Awareness and Education A frequent complaint regarding Nevis is about poor attitudes and poor customer service in certain sectors of the industry, which filters through to other potential visitors, and in this age of the internet can take on a life of their own.

5.

Airlift This has always been the chink in our armour.

Too few flights and high air fares are a major concern.

Increased airlift potential through St.Kitts on British Airways (BA) has helped tremendously.
Also the commencement of Trade Winds flight services between Puerto Rico and Nevis in October 2013.

Other existing options including WINAIR and LIAT will continue to be part of our strategies to improve airlift to the island.

289 6.

Littering continues to be a problem despite the best efforts of the Solid Waste Management Authority.

7.

Scarce Resources Nevis is limited by the amount of money available for all programmes.

Great care will have to be taken to establish priorities and spend wisely 8.
Branding Nevis/Expanding our Horizons The challenge here is as always to introduce Nevis as a desirable destination to a larger customer pool than has hitherto been accomplished.

The tourist of today is more educated, more sophisticated and more informed.

Our marketing methods must evolve with the times we live in; where the utilization of more internet marketing, more niche market targeting, more face to face contacts, and less of the conventional approach.

9.
9.

Customer Service As usual rapt attention must be paid to the tourist's perception of the attitude of Nevisians.

Ongoing hospitality training will be a major priority of the Ministry's agenda for 2014.

10.

DEPARTMENT OF INFORMATION Shortage of trained Staff; Information not being received in a timely manner from government departments 11.

With the successes realized over the past year, my government is committed to maintain and even surpass the already high standard of education attainment and achievement for all citizens and residents of this island.

The Child Friendly Schools initiative, a framework to enhance the effectiveness of education provision will be aggressively pursued.
By focusing on inclusion, democratic participation and child-centered practices within our schools, my government will insist on the implementation of school-wide positive behaviour management systems, increasing school safety mechanisms, and strengthening democratic participation of students through effective student councils.
In an effort to improve access to education, and improving the quality thereof, the Nevis Island Administration will enlist the support of Regional and International funding agencies for the installment of an ICT Center for the Nevis Teacher Resource Centre (NTRC), a Community Health & Wellness Center at the Gingerland Secondary School, and a new preschool facility for the St. James area.
In addition, it is our intention to further enhance the area of literacy and numeracy through interschool programmes and competitions.

We will ensure success in Mathematics, Science & Technology by equipping all schools with functioning laboratories and upgrading the networking system to facilitate research and interconnectivity between our schools and the rest of the world.

The School Feeding Programme will also be extended to the Special Education Unit and the Joycelyn Liburd Primary School.
With rapid changes in our global economy and new technologies being introduced everyday, more highly skilled workers are required.

In this vein, my government will seek to provide the technical support and relevant training in order to develop and further enhance programmes at the Multi-Purpose Centre.
Both the school population and members of the wider community will be given the opportunity to acquire and develop the critical skills demanded by the labour market through after-school programmes which will be offered through the Ministry of Education's TVET and Adult Education Sectors.

Additionally, in keeping with the transformation of the global economy, so too would the Education System be transformed through continued efforts in the training of principals, teachers, administrative and support staff.
It is my government's intention to also make the provision of Library Services more efficient and of more relevance to our society.

To this end, we will redouble our efforts in providing comprehensive, up-to-date and timely information for the educational, cultural and recreational reading needs to all patrons of our libraries.
In an effort to widen our user research base and to stay abreast of the rapid advances in technology we have 311 sought the automation of the public libraries' collection; and will continue to encourage the training of our library staff in the areas of library and information studies, technology, media relations, cataloguing and acquisitions.
Through effective collaboration and shared responsibility the Ministry of Education & Library Services will redesign its professional development strategies to effect maximum productivity for the overall enrichment of all citizens and residents of the island of Nevis.
Honourable Vance Amory _______________________________ Premier and Minister with responsibility for Education and Library Services 1.2 Executive Summary The Ministry of Education & Library Services has put forward a framework for the enhancement of literacy and numeracy and the overall quality of education for all residents of Nevis.

We believe that the mission, goals, objectives and activities can be duly accomplished, even amidst severe financial constraints.
Thus, we will strive, therefore, to implement our planned programmes over the next two years, in an effort to promote the culture of “education for all”.

Profound gratitude is expressed to members of staff, the general public and regional and international agencies for their support over the last budgetary period.

We crave the support, co-operation and collaboration of all as we continue to improve the quality of life for all Nevisians.
1.3 Management Representation Statement I submit, for tabling in Parliament, the annual Report on Plans and Priorities (RPP) for the Ministry of Education & Library Services.

To the best of my knowledge, the information: - Accurately portrays the department's mandate, priorities, strategies and planned results of the organization.

- Is consistent with the disclosure principles contained in the Guidelines for Preparing a Report on Plans and Priorities.

- Is comprehensive and accurate.


- Is based on sound underlying departmental information and management systems.

312 I am satisfied as to the quality assurance processes and procedures used for the RPP's production.

The structure on which this document is based has been approved by the Ministry of Finance and is the basis for accountability for the results achieved with the resources and authorities provided.
Mrs. Lornette Queeley-Connor _____________________________ Permanent Secretary 2.4.1.4 Main Activities contributing to the Portfolio’s Annual Objectives The Ministry of Education and Library Services will seek to align its focus with the Vision of the OECS Education Sector Strategy (OESS) to ensure that at every stage of the learning journey, from early years to adulthood, all citizens and residents of Nevis are able to reach their full potential and be successful in life, at work and in society.
It will take into account the need for further training and or improved appraisal processes for Principals and Senior Education Officials.

The Ministry will insist on strict adherence to the terms for clinical supervision and teacher appraisal, as outlined in the Clinical Supervision and Teacher Appraisal Policy.

To ensure enhanced delivery of education content, a comprehensive program for new teachers with emphasis on classroom management and college preparation will be pursued.
System-wide weaknesses and school specific teaching-learning issues that need improvement will be identified through analysis of existing records, in an effort to increase the knowledge base and skill set of teachers.

With school personnel maintaining detailed, school-wide cumulative records, those students at risk of academic underperformance will be identified before being allowed to fail, leading to an even higher standard of performance at graduations and other school functions.
Community outreach programs to provide comprehensive and timely information for the educational, cultural and recreational reading needs of the entire population will be implemented.

A library website will be developed and launched to create synergies among public, school and community libraries and to increase the overall awareness of the importance of libraries and the provisions of the Nevis Library services.

It is against this background that the Human Resources Department will seek to organize and implement programmes that are in keeping with our goal to foster a public service built on principles of accountability, efficiency, equity and professionalism.

Our aim is to place the Public Service in a position to fulfill its overall mandate of delivering quality service to the people it serves.
In 2014 training will again feature among our priorities as we continue to provide financial assistance to Nevisians pursuing higher education up to the Bachelor’s Degree level.

However, while we will be willing to assist students who are in need we will continue to ensure that our assistance programme adequately caters for the needs of our country, so that our training would not merely be done in a vacuum.

Therefore, there will be correlation between our priorities and the level of assistance granted.
Again, we shall recommend our regional institutions which offer many opportunities in quality education.

We will also continue to partner with friendly governments and organizations to promote the training of our people.

Furthermore, in-house training will form part of our drive to improve standards at all levels in the workplace.
To this end, the Human Resources Department will again schedule visits to various government Ministries and Departments to further expose Public Officers to the rules and regulations which inform the conduct of the public service and to give all employees the opportunity to air their concerns.

Training activities will also be conducted in the crucial areas impacting performance, attitude and productivity.
Mindful of the need to foster greater public awareness of the Public Service, the Human Resources Department will partner with the Department of Information to initiate programmes to sensitize the public to the functions of the different departments in the Public Service.

Programmes highlighting the achievements of public servants who have given exemplary service to our people will also be organized.
In view of the vital role played by technology in today’s world, the Human Resources Department will seek to computerize its filing system.

This undertaking will be carried out in conjunction with the Department of Information Technology.

This will enhance the delivery of the services we provide.

We are fully aware that we ought to give due recognition to our people who excel in various fields.

In light of this, we will recognize the efforts of public servants who have served commendably.
This, we hope, will serve as a source of inspiration for all of us who seek to render exemplary service and aim for higher standards as we commit ourselves to the important task of nation building.

350 Our expectation is that with the direction outlined for the Human Resources Department for 2014, there will be a general improvement in the quality of service the civil servants offer to the general public.

As a result, a positive and progressive image should be projected.

Mr. Chesley Manners ______________________ Permanent Secretary 2.4.1.5 Main Challenges to Achieve Portfolio’s Annual Objectives Economic and Political Commitment While the administration seeks to provide financial support to Nevisians in their quest to pursue studies, the financial constraints will determine the level of assistance possible.

The state of the economy as dictated by global trends has an impact on level of support.
Due to advances in technology more persons have chosen to pursue higher education via Distance Learning.

This method better equips Nevisians to combat the financial challenges that are plaguing the economy worldwide.

Technology Advances in technology have made it possible for an increasing number of persons to have access to regional and international institutions through distance learning.
The challenge though, is that access may be hampered by unforeseen circumstances such as power outages, breakdown in systems, etc.

352 Sustainable Human Resources This is hampered by the non return of qualified individuals to fill key positions.

362 1.1 Minister’s Message The Ministry of Social Development continues to face many challengers with a heightened degree of hope.

Despite the prolonged economic downturn, the Ministry through its departments will continue the roll out its many programs in an effort to reduce the high level of unsociable behavior among our young people.

In similar fashion the Ministry is seeking to implement programs that are geared towards the continued growth and development of our seniors.
In this regard, the Ministry will endeavour to institute a comprehensive social protection strategy which will seek to foster social and community cohesion, build human capital, manage social and economic risks, tackle vulnerabilities, exclusion and other social problems.

While the Ministry will take the lead role in building this national social protection strategy, it recognizes that it also involves integration and collaboration with other public and private sector partners.
With this in mind, therefore, the Ministry will seek to enhance the strengthening of relationships within Government and with the private sector, to ensure an ongoing process of policy coordination.

The Ministries will focus its efforts on breaking the cycle of negative social behavior and has crafted a number of innovative programs which are geared toward empowering youth from all social groupings.
Honourable Hazel Brandy-Williams ____________________________________________ Junior Minister with responsibility for Social Development, Youths, Sports and Community Development 1.2 Executive Summary the economy The Mission of the Ministry of Social Development is to bring about meaningful social change within through creative, participatory, and sustainable programmes in the areas of Sports, Community Development and Social Services.
Each area of focus provides opportunities for individuals of all ages, abilities, social and economic status to influence and inform their own social development and well being.

The ultimate goal therefore, is to create a society where poverty reduction, social cohesion, increased family stability, gender equality, the management of social risks and the building of human capital are common place.

To accomplish these goals and objectives the following areas will be top priority for the Ministry: 1.
The implementation of the new National Social Protection Strategy which targets the poorest and most vulnerable segments of the population.

363 2.

The development of public awareness programmes aimed at all aspects of social development.

3.

The equipping of people with necessary skills and knowledge through training.

4.

The enhancement of the social support and service systems within the various communities of Nevis.

5.
5.

The integration of gender relations into the mainstream of the national developoment process and the strengthening of the family institution towards improving social well being.

6.

The strengthening of relationship within Government and between Government and other partners.

1.3 Management Representation Statement I submit, for tabling in Parliament, the annual Report on Plans and Priorities (RPP) for the Ministry of Social Development, Youths, Culture, Sports and Community Development.
To the best of my knowledge, the information: - Accurately portrays the Ministry's Mandate, priorities, strategies and plans for 2014- 2016.

- Is consistent with the disclosure principles contained in the guidelines for Preparing a Report on Plans and Priorities.

- Is comprehensive and accurate.

- Is based on credible Departmental information and management systems.

I am satisfied as to the quality assurance processes and procedures used for the RPP's production.
The structure on which this document is based has been approved by the Ministry of Finance and is the basis for accountability for the results achieved with the resources and authorities provided.
Mr. Keith Glasglow ____________________ Permanent Secretary 364 2.4.1.4 Main Activities Contributing to the Portfolio’s Annual Objectives The Ministry through its various departments will meet its annual objectives as follows: The Social Services Department will implement workable systems to improve its capacity to target, coordinate, monitor and evaluate its social services.
The Sports Department will continue to improve its infrastructure, coaching and training programmes, sports administration and sports tourism product at all levels.

The Community Development Department will seek to provide more opportunities for individuals and groups at the community level, to be actively involved in the development of their own resources and activities, through education, vocational training and human resource development.
2.4.1.5 Main Challenges to Achieve Portfolio’s Annual Objectives COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT 1) Untrained Staff.

2) Erosion of community spirit and community cohesion.

3) Reduction in financial resources to fund community projects and programmes.

4) Limited inter-department and inter sectoral linkage.

5) Changes in the social landscape.

SOCIAL SERVICES 1) Recruiting and retaining qualified persons in the field of social work.

2) No shelter for abused men and women.

3) Not enough male staff social workers.


4.

An observable lack of appreciation by key players to fully appreciate and connect a country's progress with adequate provision of essential social services to prevent future societal breakdowns.

5) Insufficient resources.

365 SPORTS 1) Shortage of staff in specific sporting disciplines.

2) All Sport Officers are not employed by the Department of Sports.

3) Lack of appropriate facilities at the primary level.
4) Lack of resources, equipment, transportation etc.

5) Vandalism of facilities which results in high cost of maintenance.

6) Gap between sports and education.

BASIC NEEDS TRUST FUND 1) Lack of steady/reliable funding for projects.

2) Limited access to regional training seminars.

3.1 Important Initiatives Contributing to the Achievement of the Annual Objectives 1.
The National Social Protection Strategy The new National Social Protection Strategy targets the poorest and most vulnerable members of the society's population.

It radically changes the manner in which the public assistance aspect of the welfare system is administered.

It seeks to empower clients by teaching them vocational and life skills so that they can be "weaned off" of the system and become productive citizens.

It is much more than providing a "hand-out".

"Break the Silence: End Child Sexual Abuse" Campaign The Social Services Department of the Ministry of Social Development in conjunction with the United Nations Children Fund (UNICEF), the United States Embassy to Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean and the Caribbean Women Association (CARIWA) launched in April 2013 in Nevis a campaign against child sexual abuse.

The campaign is dubbed "Break the Silence: End Child Sexual Abuse".
The campaign launch took the form of a rally against child abuse and gender based violence at the memorial square in Charlestown.

It featured a mixed programme of speeches and dramatic performance pertinent to the issue of abuse.

The campaign has now spread to the other countries in the Caribbean and is continuing in Nevis as well.

Both UNICEF and CARIWA have stressed the importance of sustaining national efforts against child sexual abuse.

Establishment of a Special Victims Unit A Special Victims Unit has been set up in Nevis to deal with reports of child abuse, spouse or partner abuse and other forms of domestic violence.

There are currently two female police officers who work within the Unit.

A special hotline has been set up so that person reporting incidents of abuse can call anytime during the day or night.
After initial contact and communication with the Unit in respect of a reported incident, the matter will then be turned over to the Family Services or Gender Relations Division at the Social Services Department for further investigation.

Parent Empowerment Project This project was launched by the Community Development Department in May 2013.

The aim of the project is to impact basic knowledge and skills to disadvantaged parents of children from Kindergarten to Grade Six.
The subject areas are Reading, Creative Writing, Mathematics, Information Technology and Character Education.

The project will also offer English as a second language to parents in the Spanish-speaking community in Nevis.

This project is being funded by the United Nations Educational, Scientific and Cultural Organization (UNESCO).

The project is based on educating and training parents so that they in turn can assist their young children with their homework.
It also seeks to provide social training so that parents in turn can pass this on to their children.

This project is a compliment of the existing homework assistance programme.

Parents have significant influence on their children and are therefore an important stakeholder group in education.

The project focuses on in promoting sustainable socio-economic development.

The "Free Utility Service for Seniors" Initiative The Nevis Island Administration through its Ministry of Social Development has launched a new initiative for the benefit of its senior citizens.

The first phase was launched on October 14, 2013.

The second and third phases will be launched at a later date.
Page 44 of the 2011 Concerned Citizens Movement (CCM) Manifesto states: "The CCM in Government shall provide free electricity and water services to all persons over 65 years old living on their own with a fixed income".
The three-tiered system for this initiative is as follows: Phase 1 - Seniors 80 years and above Phase 2 - Seniors 70 to 79 years Phase 3 - Seniors over 65 to 69 years 367 The Senior Citizens Services Division at the Department of Social Services currently conducts assessments to determine eligibility.

This initiative is a work in progress and mechanisms are being put in place to "fine tune" the programme to prevent or at least minimize abuse.
