OVERVIEW OF BUDGET ESTIMATES Dear Citizens, This Budget Estimates presented by the Nevis Island Administration is intended to highlight the plans and programmes for the fiscal year of 2022.

It underscores the resources that the Administration will use in providing the services necessary to ensure a good quality of life for all citizens.

The Administration activities in 2022 will focus on supporting the post Covid-19 recovery.

This will include the recovery of the tourism sector.
As we emerge from the crisis we anticipate a moderate recovery in tourist arrivals and cruise ship visits.

Our concentration on the development of a thriving film industry along with the operationalization of the Pinney’s Recreational Park are policies designed to strengthen this sector creating resilience and diversification.

The economy of Nevis has received strong support from the construction and agriculture sectors over the past two years.
The Administration will continue to look to these sectors to provide employment and business activity in the coming year.

The introduction of an exemption from the payment of Alien Land Holding License will be extended for six months in 2022 to continue the support of the sale of real estate.

The Covid -19 relieve package of exemption from the payment of import duties and customs service charge will support construction.
Moreover, the agriculture sector will continue to benefit from concessions on farm and fishing equipment.

The Administration will invest in a new building to host the Department of Agriculture in the coming year.

The Administration has invested in the development of a thriving TVET education programme for both the Gingerland Secondary and the Charlestown Secondary Schools.

This investment has witnessed substantial work been done at the Gingerland Secondary School.
The Ministry of Education is therefore expected to expand the teaching of technical training.

These and other investments in infrastructure and human development will assist in advancing Nevis into the 21st century.

I therefore ask my people to keep hope alive as we enter into 2022 and continue to overcome the challenges of a modern society through collaboration and fortitude.
Best regards, ………………………………………… Honourable Mark Brantley Premier and Minister of Finance 1 Nevis Island Administration Estimate 2022 Financial Summaries 2 FINANCIAL SUMMARY 2022 CLASSIFICATION 2022 ESTIMATES 2021 ESTIMATES 2020 ACTUAL CURRENT ESTIMATES Current Revenue 131,370,800 128,163,300 118,666,857 Current Budgetary Support 45,000,000 45,000,000 53,988,881 Current Expenditure 180,884,850 174,893,300 142,480,899 Surplus/Deficit (4,514,050) (1,730,000) 30,174,839 CAPITAL ESTIMATES Capital Revenue Loans and Sale of Capital Assets Development Aid / Budgetary Grants Total Capital Revenue Capital Expenditure Revenue Loans Development Aid Total Capital Expenditure Surplus/Deficit (Current Account) Surplus/Deficit (Capital Account) Total Surplus/Deficit 15,250,000 1,500,000 16,750,000 31,410,000 15,250,000 1,500,000 48,160,000 21,400,000 10,780,000 32,180,000 30,160,000 21,400,000 10,780,000 62,340,000 13,082,842 1,206,786 14,289,628 32,523,863 12,947,842 1,206,786 46,678,491 (4,514,050) (1,730,000) 30,174,839 (31,410,000) (30,160,000) (32,523,863) (35,924,050) (31,890,000) (2,349,024) 3 SUMMARY OF TOTAL BUDGET MINISTRIES DEPUTY GOVERNOR GENERAL LEGISLATURE NEVIS AUDIT OFFICE LEGAL SERVICES PREMIER'S MINISTRY MINISTRY OF FINANCE, STATISTICS & ECONOMIC PLANNING MINISTRY OF COMMUNICATIONS, PUBLIC WORKS, WATER SERVICES, POSTS, PHYSICAL PLANNING, & ENVIRONMENT MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE, LANDS, COOPERATIVES, MARINE RESOURCES & DISASTER MANAGEMENT CURRENT EXPENDITURE CAPITAL EXPENDITURE CURRENT REVENUE 575,500 790,300

The Department is led by a Legal Advisor supported by one Senior Legal Counsel, five Junior Counsel and various administrative and clerical staff.

The Department is housed in the Old Administration Building in cramped quarters that also houses the Companies Registry which falls under the supervision of the Senior Legal Counsel in her capacity as Companies Registrar.
The Legal Department provides the Cabinet and the Administration significant support by offering legal advice and representation on a wide range of complex issues.

In order to be most effective, the cadre of Legal Counsel at the Department is required to have a keen understanding of government business, public service rules and regulations and to work closely with the Ministries, Departments and Statutory Corporations of the Administration.
Scope of Work of the Legal Department The Legal Department offers advisory support to all Ministries, Departments and some statutory authorities and executes legislative drafting assignments in support of the Administration’s legislative agenda.

One Junior Counsel is assigned to the Federal Director of Public Prosecutions for the purpose of facilitating prosecution of criminal matters in Nevis.
Counsel at the Legal Department are charged with the management of all civil litigation matters in which the Administration or any arm of Government is named as a defendant (or a Claimant/Applicant), and also are responsible for all public and private law matters involving the Administration.
Although the Department is expected to assist in producing draft legislation for a number of the Administration’s initiatives, none of the Counsel is professionally qualified in Legal Drafting, though one Junior Counsel has attended some significant training in this area.
In 2021, a Junior Counsel who had been granted study leave to pursue a qualification in Malta returned to the Department with a Masters Degree in International Maritime Legal Studies and the University of Malta Professor Walter Mueller Award for Best Maritime Legal Drafting Project.

The Department will continue to rely on her support for Legal Drafting assignments.
In 2021, the Legal Team, in some cases led by external counsel, successfully represented the Administration in several litigation matters achieving resolution of outstanding vexatious matters at High Court and Court of Appeal levels.

Nevis has become an intensely litigious society as people increasingly turn to the courts to assert perceived rights and freedoms, and it is anticipated that this trend will continue.
While Parties and their Counsel are continuously encouraged to dialogue with the Department to avoid litigation where at all possible, all Ministries and Departments are reminded to consult with the Legal Department at the early stages of discussion and negotiation on procurement, planning, construction, labour, human resources and other matters.
Although there is still need for a Legal Counsel with substantial experience at the Bar, the Department was pleased to confirm that in 2021, three Junior Counsel have been admitted to the Bar and taken up positions at the Department.

Nonetheless this still leaves the Team short of its full complement of Counsel.
As the Department continues to play an integral role in the functioning of the Administration, it would be of immeasurable support if permanent positions for a Senior Parliamentary Counsel, a Senior Legal Counsel and a Legal Assistant could be established.

In July 2020, the retirement of the Executive Officer from the Companies Registry occasioned a transfer of the recently installed Executive Officer from the Legal Department to the Registry.
The role is being filled by the incumbent Senior Clerk and it is hoped that with some further training and 47 04 - LEGAL SERVIC experience, she could be promoted to the position.
Noting the scarcity of affordable rental space in and around Charlestown and the pressing need for appropriate accommodations at the Department, the Public Works Architect has been asked to consider whether sufficient space to adequately accommodate a proper conference room /library, additional offices, and some significant storage space required for books and records, can be achieved by an extension to the existing building.

Sketches have been made and talks are ongoing.


It should be noted that there is no physical room for growth of the Department and currently Junior Officers are “doubling up”!.

Staff Training Continuing Professional Development is an imperative for professional excellence.

The Department is concerned to ensure that notwithstanding post Covid budget constraints, Counsel can continue to access available training opportunities online wherever possible.
The OECS Bar Association and the St. Kitts and Nevis Bar Association have collaborated to make several such opportunities available, and the Department’s Counsel have participated in several Virtual Conferences this year.

The Department will continue to seek out such opportunities and will fully encourage and support, the participation of professional staff.
PERSPECTIVE : During 2021, Global Objectives were only partially met due to the persistent inadequacy of appropriate staffing and resources that would be conducive to expeditious turnaround times of all assignments and the the need to split staff times between litigation and non-litigation matters.

A more diligent effort will be made in 2022 to achieve the objectives which are restated for 2022.

The weakening of our revenue capability along with the need for additional spending to strengthen our health system placed downward pressure on our fiscal position.

Although we were able to contain the level of borrowing necessary, there was need to curtail expenditure, especially capital expenditure and to refocus such to health and social protection.
The effects of this crisis are beginning to wane and the 2022 Budget Estimates are presented with an expectation of a continued rebounding of the global economy barring any negative effects from the emerging higher levels of inflation.

Therefore, while we remain cautious and continue to implement plans that support fiscal prudence, we are also cognizant of the need to ensure the return to a viable private sector.
Consequently, the theme for the Budget is “Recapturing the momentum, restoring fiscal sustainability.

In recapturing the momentum it is important that the policies design to sustain the economy during the crisis are not abruptly removed.

Thus, the stimulus packages granted to spur economic activity in the construction sector will continue in 2022.
This will include relieve from the payment of Alien Land Holding License for the purchase of property by non-nationals and the exemption for Import Duties and Customs Service Charge for individuals and businesses wishing to renovate an existing residential or commercial building for the six months of January to June 2022.

The Administration has witnessed an increase in the collection of Stamp Duties in 2021 moving from $6.35 million from January to October 2020 to $9.83 million for the same period of 2021.
This is partly because of the policy to wave the Alien Land Holding License.

There have been the transfer of a number of higher end properties such as villas and condominiums.

We are expecting this trend to continue as long as the policy remains in place.

We will monitor in the six months and make a decision to cease or continue the policy.

The focus on the marketing of Nevis as a viable investment destination will become front and centre in 2022.
We are cognizant of the importance of positioning ourselves to benefit from any resurgence in the flow of international investment.

The restoration of capital investment in the tourism sector is anticipated to be slow.

However, we will concentrate on investment in the filming industry and public- private partnerships in health care.

As the general public is aware, the Nevis Island Administration entered into the filming industry through a partnership with MSR Media Limited.
This partnership is expected to increase the profile of Nevis on the international stage.

We are hoping to expand even further into this new and lucrative area of investment.

Moreover, efforts to increase the tourist arrivals in 2022 over that of the past two years, will redound to increase activity in this area of the tourism sector.

These initiatives will result in an increase in the momentum towards the revival of the private sector and the improvement in the fiscal position of the Administration.
................................... Honourable Mark Brantley Minister of Finance 1.2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Ministry of Finance witnessing a major contraction in revenue in 2020 and 2021 responded by taking measures to contain expenditure so as not to significantly increase the debt stock and associated debt service cost.

The Inland Revenue and Customs Departments continued to secure the functioning of the Administration by ensuring the effective collection of government revenue.
The Administration as a policy to combat the effects of the Covid-19 Pandemic continue to grant tax relieve which include a reduction in the rate of Corporate Income and Unincorporate Tax and waiver of the payment of Alien 70 Import Duties and Customs Service Charge for individuals undertaking renovation or 06 - MINISTRY OF FINANCE, STATISTICS & ECONOMIC PLANNING Land Holding License at the Inland Revenue Department.
The Customs Department provided relieve from the payment of Import Duties and Customs Service Charge for individuals undertaking renovation or expansion of their residential or commercial properties which has helped to spur construction in the private sector.

The Customs Department surveillance activities has reported a reductione in the level of false reporting by tax payers.
The Department’s ability to identify and target high risks clients through an improved risk management system is benefiting the operations of revenue generation.

Both revenue Departments will continue their audit and compliance activities in 2022.

The ultimate focus of the Ministry in 2022 will be to ensure the smooth recovery from the economic effects of the Covid-19 Pandemic.

The Nevis Investment Promotion Agency (NIPA) will be instrumental in attaining this objective.
The Agency will intensify its efforts to promote new investment opportunities available on Nevis to potential investors.

The Agency launched its website in 2021 to rebrand its image.

The interface between the investor and the various departments of government has been enhanced.

Over the past months, the department has facilitated several potential investors who showed keen interest in doing business in Nevis.
Additionally, the department hosted an education webinar “The Nevis Advantage” on the benefits of using the products and services offered the Financial Services Department.

The department has planned a hybrid event at the Expo 2020 Dubai to highlight the products and services offered by the Nevis International Financial Services sector under the theme “Expanding Opportunities for Financial and Estate Planning” with a number of distinguished speakers.
The conference seeks to target and attract potential financial clients who are seeking an alternative jurisdiction such as Nevis for estate planning and to establish branches or new financial services family offices.

Moreover, the department was successful in obtaining a Customer Relationship Management System (CRM) through the Caribbean Association of Investment Promotion Agencies (CAIPA).
This critical programme will be fully integrated internally to assist in management of the department’s interactions with current and potential investors.

The CRM allows the department to become more efficient by organizing and automating certain aspects of daily operations through investor facilitation.
In 2022 the Department will undertake the following initiatives: • • Streamline the internal facilitation process Develop promotional videos for priority sectors and disseminate via our website and social media platforms to gain more traction from potential investors Produce investment package for Investors Strategically target corporate firms or individuals who wish to invest or expand • • business operations on Nevis • Organize pertinent training and testing for the NIA Digital Platform On March 01st, 2021 the Nevis Financial Services (Regulation and Supervision) Department (“NFSD”) in collaboration with the Nevis Island Administration launched a new electronic, internet based, and multifaceted corporate registry system known as the Corporate Registry Integrated Secure System (“CRISS”).
CRISS has been implemented in a phased approach, with the first phase processing approximately 75% of the services offered by the Companies Registry electronically.

Licensed Trust and Corporate Service Providers (“TCSPs”) in Nevis have been able to upload documents and make payments through CRISS at any time.

During the period March 15 – 26, 2021 the Federation of St. Kitts-Nevis underwent its 4th Round Mutual Evaluation on-site visit by the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF).
The 1st, 2nd and 3rd drafts of the 4th Round Mutual Evaluation Report for St. Kitts-Nevis 71 06 - MINISTRY OF FINANCE, STATISTICS & ECONOMIC PLANNING were reviewed and it is anticipated that the report will be discussed at the CFATF Plenary in November/ December 2021.

The Nevis Trust and Corporate Service Providers Ordinance 2021 was passed in the Nevis Island Assembly on 23rd March 2021 and was brought into force on 1st May, 2021.
The Ordinance deals with the licensing, monitoring and supervision of trust and corporate service providers (TCSPs) on matters relating to the i) the composition and functions of the licensing committee; ii) the classes of licenses to be granted; iii) the regulated activities; iv) the timeline for the approval of licenses; and v) the powers of the Regulator to conduct onsite examinations without notice.
The Ordinance also removed the political influence over licensing, supervision and regulation of TCSPs and provides clear and comprehensive requirements for licensing and renewal.

the Since the promulgation of the Nevis International Banking Ordinance (NIBO) and the subsequent regulatory and supervisory structures that have been put in place, the international banking industry has grown considerably.

A new Regulator of International Banking was appointed in June of this year.
The appointment was also an internal promotion which speaks to the high quality and competence of staff members at the Financial Services (Regulation and Supervision) Department.

The International Banking Division completed a comprehensive review of the NIBO and its accompanying Regulations by conducting self-assessment against the Basel Core Principles, the international standards that govern the licensing and supervision of banks.
This allowed for a proper evaluation of the strength of the legislative framework as it relates to international standards in banking.

During the fiscal year my Administration took the decision to invest in public infrastructure as a means of stimulating economic activity and recapture some momentum in the local economy, creating employment for a number of our equipment operators and citizens generally.

As is widely accepted, the construction sector had to become the economic engine to keep our momentum going as the tourism sector was still devastated.
In addition this sector by its very nature can easily adhere to the social distancing policy.

As promised in my last budget address, work commenced on the Butlers Village Road Project during the month of May 2021.

The majority of construction activity centered on the upper section of the village road leading from the “Domino College” to the Old Butlers Church of God.
These works include the construction of retaining walls, relocation of utility poles, realignment of driveways and construction of drains in preparation for the paving of this section of the road, which is now substantially complete.

The construction of these retaining walls and realignment of driveways were done by contractors and equipment operators from the said village, spurring employment and economic activity in the community.
Work is also continuing on the main Manning’s/Butlers Road and along the Range Road with the laying of water lines in preparation for physical construction work which will commence shortly.

This road project is indeed transforming the community of Butlers Village giving a new facelift to the village while enhancing the way of life and the health and wellbeing of the residents.

We commend the residents for their patience after a very long period of waiting for some relief.
Road alignment was also undertaken in the Charlestown area on the section of road leading from Jews to the Maude Cross Preparatory School.
These works include a reconstruction of all kerbs and road carriageway, resurfacing and realignment of the roadway including the redesigning of the intersection at the top of Happy Hill Drive and Marion Avenue, relaying of underground utility lines, installation of a concrete box culvert drain, widening of the corner intersection of Government Road with Jew’s Street and enhancing of sidewalk adjacent the Anglican Church Manse wall by installing concrete paver bricks.
Works also continue on the road section at Chapel Street from the entrance to the Charlestown Methodist Church to the Maude Crosse Preparatory School.
Other road word undertaken in the Charlestown area include milling & resurfacing of roadway at Market Street, Happy Hill Drive, Main Street stretching from the Memorial square to Government Road and Prince William street stretching from the Court House to the water front including refurbishing of the dilapidated concrete drain at the end of the road at Gallows Bay.
These works are all in an effort to ease traffic congestion in these areas of Charlestown while at the same time making these areas safe for pedestrians.
............................................ Honourable Spencer Brand Minister of Communications 111 07 - MINISTRY OF COMMUNICATIONS, PUBLIC WORKS, WATER SERVICES, POSTS, PHYSICAL PLANNING, & ENVIRONMENT These are major projects that have the ability to stimulate economic activity on the island as local equipment operators and contractors would be meaningfully engaged and have a multiplier effect on our economy.
Other secondary road works will include milling and resurfacing of the Island Main Road from TDC Home & Building Depot to Four Seasons Golf Course, the By-Pass Road from Pinney’s to Club Trenim, rehabilitation of Pump Road from Water Department to Club Trenim, with possible modification to the intersection of Pump Road with Government Road to improve maneuverability at the intersection, and several areas in Ramsbury including road rehabilitation and drainage improvement.
The milling and resurfacing of the Main Street from Government Road to the ET Willet Park and the Long Point Road from the Port to the roundabout by Valu-Mart is also scheduled to be completed in the new fiscal year.

In the area of water resource management, the issue of climate change and its negative impact is having a severe effect on the level of rainfall annually, reducing the rate of recharging our water aquifer and the water supply at our natural springs.
With this in mind it is imperative that this Administration continue to pay special attention to the water sector so as to mitigate this effect and ensure that we have adequate supply to meet our daily needs.

As a direct response to the issue, my Administration through the Nevis Water Department (NWD) has recently expanded the water infrastructure at the Hamilton Reservoir.
We have installed a water treatment system, constructed a 400,000 gallon Florida Aquastore glass fused water storage tank and installed a new steel roof on the old water storage tank at that site with a storage capacity of 300,000 gallons.

This increased storage capacity by 500,000 gallons (the old fibre glass tank was 200,000 so the increase is 500,000) is part of our effort to ensure that the people of Charlestown and its surroundings have an adequate supply of water at all times.

We believe it must be a pillar for economic or fiscal advancement while simultaneously boosting the health and productivity of our people.

The efficient management of the Marine and Natural Resources is critical for sustainability, so too is the ability to ensure that our people are in a constant state of readiness for both man made and natural disasters.

The past two years have been exceptionally challenging economically, both at the macro level as well as the individual household level.
We have seen where there is a huge interest in agriculture and related fields where it involves the semi production of agricultural products.

We have also noticed that there is an increased interest in our communities to eat more locally produced foods that are proven to be healthier.

This is not only a local phenomenon as we see a global effort to reduce the consumption of heavily processed foods.
The opportunity to realise the true productivity of our country requires continued investment and support in both the physical and human structures.

We have had a number of young people become interested in agriculture and embark on a path to ensure financial security.

Further, these young farmers who possess the requisite skills in accounting and consistency bring a business approach to the sector.
The capacities of our technicians and farmers are excellent in producing what are needed for the island’s consumption and exporting to neighbouring islands.

The challenge we have had is sustainability or consistent production which is in line with the demand of our population.

Climate change leading to erratic and unfamiliar weather patterns directly impacts our attempts at sustainability.
The advent of Green/Shade House technology and its introduction to complement our food production needs is proving to be the smart way of meeting our food production goals.

Our technicians have been challenged to understand issues like demand, consumption patterns, production scales, nutritional needs, and plant science.

Having a good knowledge of these key issues ensure that the smart decisions are taken to achieve our established goals and population needs.
Vegetables, starches, proteins and minerals provide the necessary nutritional options for sustenance to our population; although we won’t be able to produce everything, we can produce enough to be economically viable.

In 2021 we commissioned a facility with six 'walk-in' refrigeration units at Prospect and as a result of this, we are in a better position to ensure we could extend the useful life of our fresh fruits and vegetables.
Thus far the units are working very well, and we are tweaking our management and operation policy to maximise the benefits to our consumers and support our farmers.

We would have also over the past year invested significantly in our Indian Castle Estate where more than five thousand fruit trees on 30 acres of land were planted, with a focus on traditional fruits which are going scarce.
This investment stands to redefine what is possible in terms of fruit production on the island and in as early as 2023 we can begin to realise returns; the existing potential is huge once we stay the course.

In 2021 we would have partnered with the Nevis Tourism Authority to transform the Cades Bay farm into a tourism product which has both entertainment and educational value for patrons.
This facility has received rave reviews however, the current economic climate is proving to be stagnating, but we are confident in its future.

Mechanisation, Information and Communication Technologies (ICT) in the sector is still a crucial objective, however in many ways the farming practices at both the public and private sector levels are mostly very traditional and labour intensive.

The pursuance of this this paradigm shift in operations is necessary for our success.
We are already decreasing the average age of our farmers and we have seen to a large extent the appeal to include more Mechanisation and ICT applications.

139 08 - MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE, LANDS, COOPERATIVES, MARINE RESOURCES & DISASTER MANAGEMENT Decisions at both the individual and policy levels are done on the information that is available.

The Ministry and Department of agriculture engages in several data collection activities that would inform operational policies.
These policies would inform on what crops to plant, best production practices, marketing strategies and finally agroprocessing opportunities.

Wild and marauding animals such as monkeys, donkeys, pigs, and dogs continue to be a challenge to both crop and livestock farmers.

The Ministry supports the efforts of farmers to protect their investments.
We are also seeking to achieve some level of balance, not to eliminate these animal species but there is the need to reduce them manageable sizes that have no impact on farmers and farming activities.

Another major issue that needs much attention is our plant quarantine activities as well as matters relating to Invasive Alien Species which have the potential to wipe out entire economic crops.
As we pay attention to local research that has been done as well as continuous monitoring of vegetable and fruit pests and diseases, 2022 will see more attention being paid to quarantine efforts.

The temperatures for our region continue to increase with July to September 2021 recorded as the hottest period in human history.

The consequences of Climate Change on small and vulnerable economies are longer dry spells, rain deluges, more violent hurricanes and associated pests and diseases.
We continue to encourage protected agriculture or shade houses as it has proven to be an excellent solution to many of the problems experienced in traditional agriculture when it comes to short terms crops.

In 2021, we thank the federal government for donating five (5) shade houses to experienced farmers valued more than seventy thousand dollars.

We have also seen private investment which saw another six (6) shade houses being established.
We have sustained production in ten (10) crops, we intend to pursue these with selected farmers for the first two crop cycle to achieve efficiency of scales, and later in the year will seek to open export markets to neighbouring islands.

We continue efforts in planting and maintaining fruit or tree crops such as soursop, guava, avocado, golden apples, cashew and citrus.
Agriculture will continue to partner with Health in bringing awareness and educating the population about the nutritional benefits of local produce as well as ways they can be used in our diets.

The Agro-Processing sector continues to be a significant cottage industry and as demand for products increase we have found that individual processors have expanded their kitchens to accommodate, however we have not seen anyone brave enough to make a commercial venture.
Value Added products represent a significant opportunity for agriculture as it seeks to extend the life consumption of our local fruits and vegetables.

With assistance from IICA and other allied agencies the Nevis Agro Processing Centre has operated for more than fifteen (15) years and has thus demonstrated what can be done.

However, we are now embarking on a process where we can now analyse the the efficiency of producing certain items, standardisation of menus and packaging.
Just as we expect farmers to be strategic and accountable, we must lead the way and ensure items are not just produced for show.

We are grateful to Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine for their assistance in enhancing the quality of Cattle on our Maddens Stock Farm, the introduction of new breeds to the heard is having a positive impact.

We have seen the quality of animals improve which is allowing us to pass on the improved genetics to farmers.
It is expected within the medium term the island can be self-sufficient in beef production.

In 2021 Ross University made a significant donation of goats to the Department of Agriculture as we restarted our small ruminant production.

The decision to use goats was based on the demand for goat meat, our intention is to further support our livestock farmers by making the genetics available.
Additionally, in the area of pork production we are seeing at our Maddens Stock Farm some initial success in terms of pig production as the genetics introduced are performing better 140 08 - MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE, LANDS, COOPERATIVES, MARINE RESOURCES & DISASTER MANAGEMENT than expected in our environment and is giving very good return on investment, this too will be made available to local farmers.
The staff at the Abattoir continues to distinguish itself with the quality of service and products that are being made available to the public, pork and pork products, beef and beef products, mutton and local chicken when available.

The staff at the Abbattoir continues to distinguish itself with the quality of service and products that are made available to the public.
Some of the local products that are available on a weekly basis include pork and pork products, beef and beef products, mutton and local chicken.

The limiting factor in all cases is the availability of animals.

We are encouraged by the support from the local community, our records show that with a downturn of economic activity sales at the Abattoir have actually increased.
The Nevis Housing and Land Development Corporation (NHLDC) has continue to pioneer and revolutionize housing in Nevis by providing affordable houses and ensuring Nevisians have access to a piece of Nevis for their personal development whether for home or business endeavours.

The NHLDC has and continues to support the NIA and the Ministry of Agriculture in particular as it relates to the acquisition of equipment and services needed for clients.
The management of the government quarry in the hills of New River has continued to be a major support for the infrastructural development projects across the island at a low cost thus reducing overall costs to the people of Nevis.

In September two housing developments were launched in the St Paul's Parish; Sugar Mill Residences and Mountain Crest Residences.
Over one hundred and fifty (150) applications were received for the limited spots available, indeed this shows the resounding confidence in the NHDLC housing program.

We are keen on ensuring that our land usage on the island is something that is done in concert with social and environmental policy to ensure equity and balance in both operational and living conditions.
The Ministry of Communications and others guide the necessary zoning of the relevant physical spaces that are allocated to ensure the comfort of residents as well as a range of commercial ventures.

While we are still very concerned about the Cooperative Societies on the island, we have seen where efforts are being made to have groups function cohesively across the sector.
These groups seem in many cases incapable to function at a cooperative level but non the less would like to be positioned and benefit from the collective bargaining power of their members.

The Ministry is committed to assisting all groups or entities (fishers, farmers, agro-processors and bee keepers) to improve their production across the sector both in terms of incorporating proper business practices and information technology into their operations especially as accountability is a key goal.
The Ministry of Agriculture for 2022 will continue to assist individual primary producers to focus on business development.

This will enable our farmers to be more strategic in their operations as it removes 'guess work' and arbitrary decision making.

Production and supply decisions should be based on resource inputs and consumer purchase patterns.

The Department of Marine Resources Nevis Office is continuing its efforts to improve the service delivered to our fishers.
We will continue to collaborate with the office in St Kitts to enhance training in safety and sustainability matters.

Efforts to synchronise the operations will also ensure that while we support this sector we must also ensure that while we support this sector the law is upheld and persons are not disadvantaged.
Two major issues we are seeking to address are the installation of ramp facilities to launch and remove vessels from the water and to establish fuel facilities for fishers so they can access duty free fuel like fishers on St Kitts.

141 08 - MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE, LANDS, COOPERATIVES, MARINE RESOURCES & DISASTER MANAGEMENT In 2021 the Ministry supported the Nevis Fishermen and Supply Cooperative to resuscitate its board by facilitating a meeting of fishers.
As a result of this, an interim Board of Directors were elected to oversee the training of the officers and to ensure the organisation can benefit the members and consumers.

The Ministry with support from the Public Works Department, further assisted in the renovation of the Fisheries building in Charlestown.

This renovation was also necessary for the Cooperative to accept donations of equipment from the Japanese Government as well as the FAO CC4Fish program.
The Nevis Disaster Management Department (NDMD) continue to work towards an aggressive education campaign to sensitise our people about both natural and man-made events.

Our island continues to be spared from any major hurricanes or natural disasters.

The Caribbean region has experienced earthquakes and volcanic activities more frequently which has heightened sensitivity among our population, however the staff at the NDMD remains in a state of readiness to respond when and where necessary.
The NDMD staff continue to be involved in the COVID 19 response as the Emergency Operations Centre houses the response agencies and assist in the coordination of the related activities.

The Ministry continues to process and facilitate the issuance of Alien Land Holding Licences to persons and entities wishing to operate or reside on Nevis.

We will work with Ministry of Finance and the Nevis Investment and Promotion Agency to ensure that all matters related to this service are seamlessly undertaken.
The Ministry of Agriculture, Lands, Housing, Marine & Natural Resources and Disaster Management understand the portfolio responsibilities especially what it means for our people.

Our role seeks to ensure residents are safe and comfortable and are in a position not only to be fed but to have healthy options.
We believe that we have the resources to be self-sufficient in certain niche areas, we will further harness our human resources, available mechanisation, and information technology with the right combination to support our people and economy.
............................ Hon Alexis Jeffers Minister of Agriculture 1.2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Ministry of Agriculture, Lands, Housing, Marine & Natural Resources and Disaster Management is comprised of four (4) Departments; the Department of Agriculture, Department of Marine Resources, Nevis Disaster Management Department and the Nevis Housing and Land Development Corporation.
The Nevis Housing and Land Development Corporation is a statutory body administered exclusively by its own management team and a Board of Directors.

The Ministry also has responsibility for Cooperatives, management of the island’s Natural Resources and accept applications for Alien Land Holding Licenses.

The Department of Agriculture is grateful for the support received from allied agencies such as IICA, CARDI, FAO, UWI and Republic of China Taiwan.
We will continue to deepen these current relationships and pledge a collaborative and coordinated approach to agricultural development.

With the available training opportunities to our staff, farmers and all stakeholders, technical skills must be transferred and translated to ensure Food & Nutrition security.

The Department of Marine Resources on Nevis through collaborations with the Department of Marine Resources on St Kitts seeks to ensure that all programmes and activities benefit fishers.
With the continued implementation of the latest Fisheries Act (2016), both agencies will 142 08 - MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE, LANDS, COOPERATIVES, MARINE RESOURCES & DISASTER MANAGEMENT administer the legal, management and environmental conservation issues that affect the sector.

Relationships with regional and international partners are expected to not only provide training but assist in the regulation issues that plague the industry worldwide.
The Department of Marine Resources also support the Nevis Fishermen’s Marketing and Supply Cooperative Society as this remains an important body within the sector.

The Nevis Disaster Management Department coordinates with the National Emergency Management Agency to implement mitigation strategies to minimise the loss of life and property on the island.

Constant surveillance of data collecting devices, shelters and equipment cannot be forsaken.
An effective Communication plan is also critical for the behaviour of residents during an event, as such resources are expended to ensure that we react correctly.

The unpredictability of the COVID-19 Pandemic has left not only Nevis, but the entire world in a quandary, and as such, there has been a tremendous strain on our healthcare system and by extension our economy.

The Ministry has been proactive in ensuring that actions are taken to tackle issues through timely response, testing, isolation, quarantine and treatment areas.
With the introduction of the vaccines, AstraZeneca and now Pfizer, an extra layer of protection has been provided to compliment the non-pharmaceutical measures.

Testing Services for the Corona Virus are now offered to the public at two locations on the island to accommodate more persons.

Nurses and care givers at the Alexandra Hospital and Flamboyant Home have been trained to adequately deal with the task at hand.
COVID-19 has brought several donations to our shores including vaccines and personal protective equipment (PPE), for which we are eternally grateful.

The Ministry would like to place on record its profound thanks to the various agencies and organizations for their generosity.
Due to the over whelming support in kind, the Ministry has found it necessary to establish a Central Medical Stores which will be used for the procurement and distribution of supplies to the various healthcare facilities in a timely and effective manner.

To build capacity, essential medical equipment is of outmost importance.

Through procurement and donations, the Alexandra Hospital has received several pieces of equipment.
These include two PCR machines, namely the Gene Expert and the Quantum Studio 5, a vaccine refrigerator and a Chemistry Analyzer for the lab.

Nevis will soon boast of having its very own CT scan machine that was generously donated by the Drahi Foundation.

The Ministry plans to acquire a mammogram machine to add to the services that the hospital provides.

PAHO and CARPHA have not wavered in their generosity to the Ministry with assistance in training, resources, equipment and medical supplies.
The Ministry continues to provide the proper infrastructure to ensure that adequate facilities are available to give optimum care.

Renovations have been done to various health facilities and plans to rebuild the Charlestown Health Center have been mobilized.

The hospital expansion interior layout plans have been completed and work is continuing at a pace.

The main kitchen at the hospital is also under construction and will complement the new addition to the overall facility.
Reliable and efficient health care can only be achieved if we have well trained and qualified human resource personnel.

Continuous training of the staff paired with acquiring specialist doctors and nurses is a priority to attain excellence.

The Alexandra Hospital is now utilizing a Health Information System.

This technology is very important to delivering high-quality and safe care as it acquires, stores and analyzes medical data.
The second tier of this project will be to connect this system into our health centers across the island.

The Department of Gender Affairs has a mandate to achieve Gender Equality and Equity as outlined in the Sustainable Development Goals.

To accomplish this, 2022 will see the Department focusing its efforts on training, advocacy, and re-energizing the Gender network on the island.

Training programmes have been a key feature of the Department’s work.
We will continue to equip our men and women with the skills that will allow them to thrive and function more equitably in every sphere of life.

.............................................. Mrs Hazel Brandy-Williams Junior Minister Ministry of Health 160 09 - MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND GENDER AFFAIRS 1.2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The COVID-19 pandemic serves as a reminder that proactive planning for healthcare emergencies as well as an intensified commitment to public health preparedness remains necessary.
Over the past year, the pandemic exposed critical challenges in the healthcare infrastructure, the growing need for a skilled workforce, weaknesses in the supplies chain and the need for a budget for Public Health Emergence preparedness.

These challenges are likely to remain long after the pandemic has ended however it provides us with an opportunity to be proactive and to highlight the importance of ongoing investment in public health and a robust supply chain infrastructure.
In the year 2022 we need to prioritize preparedness within our connected global community, so that we can effectively respond to future pandemics and other public health emergencies.

The rapid health care impressive and the philanthropic mobilization around COVID 19 has been response and unprecedented.We owe a debt of gratitude to the front-line health and allied care workers, as well as local and foreign businesses, organizations and governments supporting our response.
We will endeavor to address workforce issues related to shortages and effective deployment of existing professionals to ensure quality of care is not compromised.
As we continue to fight the COVID-19 pandemic, the ongoing management of chronic conditions and preventative health strategies will remain as much a priority as providing care to the critically ill. For this to occur the Health Promotion Unit will engage in a series of robust and continuous health education and promotion programmes that encourage healthy lifestyles to prevent and aid in speedy recovery from illness.
It is evident that since the pandemic, there is now an increase awareness of personal and public hygiene measures as well as a thrust towards maintaining good health.

In order to meet the needs of the acute and chronically ill, we will continue to address the reform of systems of care and greater coordination and collaboration among health professionals, as well as pay more attention to prevention and the behavioral determinants of health.
Healthcare cost will continue to rise and consumerism will only continue to grow in importance.

We will continue upgrading critical capacities of the hospital and other health facilities to improve quality of services, improve efficiency, and adopt revenue enhancement measures.

The inclusion of PCR testing, a mammogram and CT Scan machine will further enhance the services offered at the hospital.
The move to establish a Central Medical Stores Unit will help to minimise critical flaws in the supply chain management for vital equipment and medical supplies.

Moreover, recognizing the potential information systems and other technological advances have in transforming health care, there will be an improved emphasis on surveillance systems, data analysis and dissemination.
Meanwhile, we will seek to embed some aspects of telemedicine into the health service delivery to ensure continuity of essential services even during challenging times such as these.

The coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic has no doubt changed the way healthcare is delivered, experienced and evaluated.
Since there is a positive correlation between health and economic growth, then for any economy to develop, it must commit sufficient resources to health to achieve desired levels of health status and economic development.

The Ministry will continue to use this current momentum to reboot Nevis’ healthcare system, to recover and rebuild one that delivers both better health outcomes and better economic outcomes for our nation and its citizens.

The ongoing Covid-19 pandemic has resulted in increased expenditure related to testing supplies, medication and remuneration for services.
Work Force Shortage and Discontent: Health care has always been subject to trends in b. oversupply and undersupply of various health professionals.

While there appears to be an oversupply of general practitioners, the current shortage of nurses, specialist physicians and allied technicians is yet to be resolved.

Workforce shortage is exacerbated by aging and retiring nursing professionals.
Furthermore workers dissatisfaction include working conditions, such as inadequate staffing, extended working hours, a lack of sufficient support staff; and inadequacy of wages for some categories of staff.

Slow adoption of Information Technology (IT): The Ministry has been slow to invest in c. and embrace technology.

A number of residual and emerging challenges limit the adoption of IT in health and these include issues of usability, interoperability, and general acceptability.
Policies and Procedures: Since healthcare business operations are constantly changing d. there is still the need for policies and procedures to be reviewed, updated and or developed.

3.1 IMPORTANT INITIATIVES CONTRIBUTING TO THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE ANNUAL Financing: For the health care services to be effective and efficient, it must be adequately funded, and the fund must be adequately utilized.
We would continue to advocate for a greater portion of the budget while seeking funding through other avenues such as grants, donations etc.

Policy Review and Development: The recent appointment of a Health Planner who will assume the lead role in the development of public health policies and plans that support population health initiatives while providing support to all departments of the Ministry in program planning and evaluation.
Workforce Development and Welfare: The Ministry will continue to provide ongoing learning opportunities and avenues for professional development to support workers in achieving skills and proficiencies.

Efforts will be made to recruit additional staff where necessary and review 163 09 - MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND GENDER AFFAIRS the remuneration package for some members of staff.

Strategic Partnerships: Healthcare is complex.

It requires coordinated service execution across many business functions.
For us these partnerships include ongoing support from organisations and governments who willingly provide technical assistance, funding, equipment and staffing which will enable our health systems to give customers the healthcare products and services they need at affordable prices.

Adapting to Technology.

Information technology is poised to bring about a significant transformation in our health system.
With the full implementation of the Hospital Information System, the automation of clinical, financial, and administrative transactions will prove essential in improving quality, preventing errors, enhancing consumer confidence in the health system, and improving efficiency.

Introduction of New Services: Patients are demanding modern health care services.

The introduction of PCR testing will eliminate the need to send some samples (eg.

HIV, TB, Covid-19) to St. Kitts or overseas for analysis.
The availability of onsite mammography and CT Scan will provide patients with additional choice as where to access that service.

A Centralized Medical Stores Unit will help to minimize some of the challenges related to the management of medical supplies.

We continue to encourage and persuade our stakeholders to avail themselves of the freely available vaccines which are an important gateway to our safety and survival against the scourge of this contagion.
The Ministry will also continue its COVID sensitization training sessions and will lend the necessary support for as many tourism stakeholders as possible to become compliant with the relevant protocols and standard operating procedures, designed to provide a safe environment for visitors and locals alike.
Now that we have reduced our quarantine requirements for fully vaccinated visitors to a mere 24 hours, in the upcoming months we expect to see an increase in visitor arrivals and increased bookings at our hotels, guest houses, eateries and excursions.

The Ministry views training and capacity building as important vehicles that will equip us to regain our momentum and ensure fiscal viability and sustainability.
In 2022, we will continue to promote community based tourism, lend support to local festivals and will continue to offer entrepreneurship training to persons in micro and small tourism enterprises.

Our hopes of recovery are reinforced by the affirmation from the Conde Nast Readers Choice Awards which ranked Nevis second best in the islands of the Caribbean and the Atlantic, with only the prestigious St Barth ahead of our destination on this list.
The NTA has embarked on several creative initiatives designed to bring much needed attention to the destination.

Some of these initiatives include the revamping of our website www.nevisisland.com with fresh digital content and a user friendly interface, creation of health and wellness videos, launch of an ambassador programme and live streaming of events such as the Nevis Mango Festival and ‘Nothing Like a Nevisian Holiday’.
These creative initiatives have collectively engaged tens of thousands of viewers and potential visitors to Nevis.

In 2021, we have continued to maintain and upgrade our heritage sites.

We were able to complete the fencing at New River and in the new year will embark on an agro-tourism project.
This site will provide educational and interactive visitor experiences based on the key agricultural crops which have played a critical role in Nevis’ economic history, such as sugar, cotton, coconut, tobacco and indigo.

In 2022, we intend to continue upgrades at other sites as well as the addition and enhancement of visitor facilities to augment the visitor experience to Nevis.

The Nevis Tourism Authority has collaborated with several partners to present the Nevis Sustainable project.
The goal of this initiative is to make Nevis a more sustainable destination through partnership.

Through their collaborative efforts they have created an overarching project which aims to one day ban and eliminate single use plastics from Nevis.

Currently, the project allows citizens to take their plastic bottles to a collection point in Long Point to be eventually transported off island instead of ending up in our landfill.
We have also seen the return of cruise tourism to our shores after a hiatus of more than a year.

The 2021 cruise season commenced with the inaugural call of World Navigator of the Mystic Cruise Line in Nevis with a capacity of 200 passengers.

Passengers enjoyed bubble tours of Botanical Gardens and Pinneys Beach and from all accounts were very satisfied with their experience.
We expect several additional calls this cruise season and are actively engaged in getting additional sites and excursions approved to provide a wider variety of offerings to our cruise guests.

One of the most significant accomplishments of 2021, is the official opening of the much 188 10 - MINISTRY OF TOURISM anticipated Pinneys Park which we anticipate will be the venue of numerous personal and corporate events, as well as a hub for health and wellness and a hive of social activity.
All government agencies, private sector entities and individuals who collaborated way beyond the call of duty, whose collective efforts have made the park a reality must be highly commended.

The park is a testament of the deep and long lasting friendship between the peoples of St Kitts and Nevis and the Republic of China (Taiwan) whose generous financial support made the construction of the park a reality.
I owe a debt of gratitude to my team at the Ministry of Tourism, the Nevis Tourism Authority, the Hotel and Tourism Association and all of the tourism stakeholders who have and will continue to ensure that we continue to collaborate and strategize, effective and creative ways in which we could regain our momentum and ensure resilient, sustainable and inclusive economic growth and development.
1.2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The following represents the mission, goals and activities of the Ministry of Tourism for 2022.

We present for the consideration of the Cabinet and the Nevisian public the following document.

The document remains cognizant of the various challenges which we have faced and continue to grapple with over the past year.

These challenges have the potential to derail the gains made over time, but we should be resilient and face the future with optimism.
Some of the proposals presented are not new, however there are a few which will be implemented for the first time.

We are convicted, however, that with the blending of the old and new programs, an enabling climate could be created to facilitate growth and development of the economy, which would eventually benefit all Nevisians.

The Ministry remains committed to the concepts and ideas which it engaged in the past.
However, there will be some modification which is expected to reflect changing dynamics and achieving everyday realities of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The purposes outlined are deeply rooted in culture, history and heritage.

Opportunities abound for employment, training, entrepreneurship, diversification and to a larger extent, a better standard of living.
Our mission statement is to “Harness the human resource and earnings potential of all Nevisians through the provision of sustainable progress in tourism, through informed decision-making processes and discussions within government, in order to create a greater awareness and revenue returns and stimulate growth and development in all sectors of the economy.” The Ministry’s vision is to facilitate and drive the promotion and development of the economy in a manner that reflects the historical, cultural and environmental heritage of Nevis and maintains a sense of traditional hospitality values.
........................... Mr John Hanley Permanent Secretary Ministry of Tourism 1.3 MANAGEMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT I submit for tabling in Parliament, the annual Report on Plans and Priorities (RPP) for the Ministry of Tourism for 2022.

The document to the best of my knowledge provides an accurate representation of the 189 10 - MINISTRY OF TOURISM Ministry’s plans and priorities for the use of resources allocated.

The top level officers were engaged in a comprehensive exercise of strategic planning and collaboration in an effort to arrive at the plans and priorities outlined in this document and it is a true reflection of the views and mandate of the office of the Ministry as a whole.

1.5 MAIN CHALLENGES TO ACHIEVE PORTFOLIO'S ANNUAL OBJECTIVES The main challenges to successful completion and overall achievement of this year’s objectives are multi-dimensional.

Some of these forces are circumstances over which we exert little control, however, every effort will be made to mitigate negative effects.

COVID-19 pandemic – this global crisis has contracted tourism demand and has 1 resulted in the cancellation of bookings and severely limited the earning capacity of our stakeholders.
Vaccine hesitancy has also slowed the efforts made at returning to normal.

Continued training and creating marketing and promotional tactics will be engaged to once again lure visitors to Nevis.

Limited resources – there is a dearth of available monies to fund the projects, hence 2 wise spending and frugal decision-making will have to be hallmarks of operating during the year.
3 Limited technical staff at the Product Development Unit, Tourism Communication Unit –limited manpower challenges the capacity for research and slows down the implementation and effective monitoring of projects.

4 Climate change continues to affect the region.

This coupled with very unpredictable hurricane seasons have a high probability of affecting tourist arrivals.

Drought is another climate change component that negatively impact on our already scarce fresh water resources.
5 The escalation of gun related crimes on locals and guests is a cause for concern as the tranquil and peaceful reputation of our destination is seriously threatened by the activities of a few misguided persons.

6 Airlift has been a perennial challenge for Nevis.

The high prices on tickets, due in most part to taxation, reduces the attractiveness of our destination to some of our visitors.
7 The move by some cruise lines to acquire larger ships will negatively affect the cruise sector as our facilities to accommodate such vessels are very limited.

Total Ministry 11 Ministry of Education, Library Services and Information Technology 199 11 - MINISTRY OF EDUCATION, LIBRARY SERVICES AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY 1.1 MINISTER'S MESSAGE Education continues to evolve globally and on Nevis, we have made the adjustments so that our system can continue to provide the opportunities and support to meet the global trends and demands.
The COVID 19 pandemic continues to have direct implications on the teaching and learning process.

However, we continue to navigate the challenges and embrace opportunities to be innovative in our approach to deliver our education product.
While the Ministry embraces this Budget Cycle’s theme of Recapturing the Momentum, Restoring Fiscal Sustainability, we weave this aim tightly with our focus of “Education for the Future.” Therefore, the Ministry of Education began to take proactive steps to position the system to prepare our students for successful futures, no matter the challenges.
The reality is, that in light of the pandemic, education is no longer limited to the single modality but it has transitioned to create and run two systems simultaneously.

The first system is the face-to-face system, which has to be safe and child-friendly, with the necessary human and other resources in place to be effective.

The second system is a virtual one.

Just as preparations are made to our classrooms in the physical sense, the same had to be done to accommodate the virtual classrooms.
In this virtual environment, all mechanisms must be in place and remain up-to-date so that a seamless transition can be made at any given time.

This feat was accomplished during the last fiscal year.

Our students and teachers were able to occupy physical classrooms and functioned through face-to-face instruction for most of Terms One, Two and Three.
The schools’ technology champions who were ably-led and supported by the STEM Education Officer, simultaneously created and populated the virtual classrooms for the online school.

Just like the physical classrooms, school leaders and Education Officials needed to be able to visit, observe and evaluate.

This access was made possible through the functionality, flexibility and adaptability of our chosen online platform, Microsoft Teams.
The time of preparation was put to the test when schools physically closed effective May 25, 2021.

Some schools transitioned to the online platform immediately and all schools were ready for instruction within two days.

Similarly, the virtual classrooms for the 2021-2022 were prepared, populated and ready at the beginning of the school year to reflect the compositions of the new classrooms.

This has facilitated the ease of transition of entire classes to the virtual world on-demand.
The focus of technological integration extends beyond the ability to conduct virtual classes and incorporates our ability and thrust to utilize technology in the classroom.

Additionally, access to the Microsoft 365 platform provides students with additional applications as well as the Microsoft Office Suite.

In order for the education system and our students to attain success, there has been a concerted attempt to increase parental engagement and partnerships.
At the beginning of the year, the Early Childhood Unit, with support from UNICEF, hosted a three part early literacy series captioned Read With Me.

Parents of all preschool children were introduced to tips which support literacy development at home through live interactive sessions.

This literacy series was accessible to parents virtually and this option increased the number of parents and household we were able to reach.
Also, at the start of the 2021-2022 academic year, the Department initiated a Meet the Teacher Activity which twinned as an opportunity for parent-school engagement and to administer diagnostic assessments at the pre and primary school levels.

The Meet the Teacher Activity provided some much needed data and will be used to inform instruction at the classroom level and plan teacher professional development.

The diagnostic assessment component provides a systemic view of literacy and numeracy gaps.
Continuous Professional Development for both instructional and non-instructional staff continues to be at the forefront.

In-school and department level professional development continues to be offered on Wednesday afternoons.

Teachers are also encouraged to take advantage of virtual professional development sessions which are offered by regional and international bodies.
During the 2021 summer vacation, a group of teachers were trained in modeling instruction in Science through the OAS Inter- American Teacher Education (ITEN) Network and facilitated by the American Modeling Teachers Association (AMTA).

This level of investment and commitment to their development as professionals is highly commendable.

200 11 - MINISTRY OF EDUCATION, LIBRARY SERVICES AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY The School Meals programme continued to evolve with the introduction of Tour Thursdays.
Students were given opportunities to visit various countries around the world through their cuisine.

During the summer, students had the opportunity to attend a virtual camp captioned Travel with School Meals Airlines where they learned more about the history and culture of the countries featured during the school year.

This was ably-led by the volunteer nutritionist from Taiwan.
As the long standing relationship with The Republic of China on Taiwan continues to be fostered, secondary school students were exposed to the Mandarin Chinese Language in the 2020-2021 academic year.

Throughout the year, the programme was extended to include short sessions for teachers, ministry staff and the general public.
Mandarin classes are now being offered to students and the wider community with the aim of affording the opportunity for participants to take the Test of Chinese as a Foreign Language.

This initiative is facilitated by a volunteer Trained Mandarin Teacher from Taiwan.

Regional examinations continue as part of our academic calendar.

This year, the CXC examinations took place amidst many challenges.

The examinations schedule extended later than in previous years, due to the pandemic.
Students, teachers, non-instructional staff and administrators navigated a community spread, lockdown and many uncertainties to be able to complete the examination period.

Preliminary results reflect favourable passes.

The Ministry of Education added three new coaster buses to our fleet of buses offering transportation to our students.
The timely addition helps to alleviate the extra runs which would have had to be made as measures to protect children using this important service, during the pandemic have been put in place.

The additional transportation was made possible through a timely donation from the Windsong Foundation.

Our library service continues to be relevant even as the Corona virus pandemic caused some of our programmes to take on a different look and traffic to the library had to be properly managed.
All safety measures introduced in 2020 continued to be employed (automatic hand sanitizers, temperature checks, record of names and contact information, wearing of masks, relevant signage, distance markers, drop box for returned books, renewals via email and telephone and sanitizing of books before return to the collection.

In spite of the adjustments and challenges faced, the librarian and her staff were able to have an event-filled year.
The Library held its first “Book Tasting” activity in celebration of Black History Month in February.

This activity showcased books related to black history and black figures locally, regionally and internationally.

It was well received by students and the general public.

In March World Poetry Day was observed with the mounting of a Poet Tree which included leaves bearing verses from our local poets.

The general public was invited to add their own creations to the tree using blank leaves provided.
Featured poets were James Galloway and Cherrill Barrett.

An interview on NTV with young Nevisian author Mr. Kacey Jeffers commemorated World Book and Copyright Day in April.

The month of May saw the re-introduction of the Saturday morning Story Hour as a response to the suspension of the weekly preschool story time sessions.

This was however switched to a televised Saturday morning story time sessions in August.

This was done in collaboration with NTV.


It has received positive feedback from children, parents and teachers across the federation.

One of our most-looked-forward event ‘The Library Summer Programme” was presented in a different format this year.

In lieu of an in-person Summer Programme, grab and go packages were prepared for 40 children who registered.
These packages were collected at the library and included the a t-shirt, theme song, puzzles, craft projects with instructions and literature on the theme “My Carbon Footprint, 201 11 - MINISTRY OF EDUCATION, LIBRARY SERVICES AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY Parents shared videos and photographs via email My Responsibility”.

to show how engaged the children were even as they had to work remotely on their own or assisted by their parents.
Notwithstanding the enjoyment of the new and innovative experience, the general feedback indicated the desire for the traditional in-person programme.

For the 38th celebration of our nation’s independence, the usual displays were assembled focusing on the activities of independence 1983.

They were very well decorated and this year a quiz was introduced to garner more participation.
The first and second placers on each level were presented with gift baskets containing face shield, sanitizer wipes, drinks etc.

A comparison of circulations statistics for the period January to September shows an increase from 1038 in 2020 to 2734 in 2021.

New membership rose from 72 in 2020 (49 children and 23 adults) to 211 in 2021 (149 children and 62 adults).
The library continues to operate as a community hub and is frequently utilized by high school, Sixth Form and university students as well as persons interested in sitting and reading.

Instructors also use the space to conduct private classes and general research is carried out regularly.

Much has been accomplished this year even with the overhanging threat of the covid-19 pandemic.
The library has been forced to find new approaches in the provision of its services and has so far done a commendable job by being innovative and through more collaboration with other government departments Plans are being finalized for the creation of a Facebook page and production of more web- based programming.

Reading books and visits to the library are not only essential for learning more, but it can be amazingly therapeutic.

It can help to relieve stress and distract us from our daily worries.
The services offered at the library should not be overlooked or minimized.

The library serves people of all ages.

The IT Department continues to be wired to every part of the Nevis Island Administration.

They are the ones who provide the technical environment for the NIA’s various ministries and departments and enable them to be more productive, efficient, innovative and current.

Therefore, the IT Department is an absolutely essential component of the mechanism that drives the NIA.

.................................. Mr. Kevin Barrett Permanent Secretary Ministry of Education 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 and Technology for 2022.
The document to the best of my knowledge provides an accurate representation of the Ministry’s plans and priorities for the use of resources allocated.

It is consistent with the disclosure principles contained in the guidelines for preparing a Report on Plans and Priorities and is based on sound Office information and management systems.
The top level officers were engaged in a comprehensive exercise of strategic planning and collaboration in an effort to arrive at the plans and priorities outlined in this document and it is a true reflection of the views and mandate of the office of the Ministry as a whole.

The document will serve as an essential planning tool and working guide for the operation for 2022 and beyond and will act as an evaluation tool to assess performance.
……………………………… Mr. Kevin Barrett Permanent Secretary Ministry of Education 2.4.1.4 MAIN ACTIVITIES CONTRIBUTING TO THE PORTFOLIO'S ANNUAL OBJECTIVES The Ministry of Education has a renewed resolve to implement the support mechanisms which will foster an environment of success, particularly in the face of the pandemic.

As such, the Ministry’s theme, Education for the Future is the foundation for the main activities.
Enhanced Curriculum The work on the Enhanced Curriculum for St. Kitts and Nevis will continue with the focus being placed on the writing of the Kindergarten to Grade 2 curriculum and the commencement of writing for the secondary school electives in order to support the proposed subject pathways and the graduation criteria.

Additionally, continued consultative work and training will take place to facilitate the Grades 4 and 6 roll out and the pilot for Grade 5 and some subjects at the First Form.
Academic Recovery The several months of physical closure of schools have impacted our students, particularly in the area of academics.

As such, activities and programmes which support academic recovery are important and will be emphasized.

Focus will be placed on continued Diagnostic Assessments and preparing teachers to respond to the data with the aim of decreasing learning loss.
There is a systemic need to provide continuous professional development for school leaders and teachers so that they can effectively support their students.

Current data which was captured at the beginning of the 2021-2022 academic year will be used to provide resources to support academic recovery.

204 11 - MINISTRY OF EDUCATION, LIBRARY SERVICES AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY The Academic Recovery process cannot and will not be limited to support for schools and school personnel.
The parents are integral to the process as they spend a considerable amount of time with their children, particularly when there are classroom closures.

As such, an investment will also be made into equipping parents to support their children at home.

Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) Education Our students are 21st century learners and digital natives and as preparation is made for the future, a more deliberate attempt will be made to introduce students to STEM.
The foundation will be laid for the integration of STEM and STEM Methodologies.

This includes the necessary professional development and support for teachers as well as the acquisition of resources to allow for proper integration and implementation.

Guidelines and policies to facilitate the process will also be crafted through the necessary consultations.
Technical, Vocational Education and Training The Ministry of Education is cognizant of the importance of TVET in developing the skill set of students and the general population.

Contrary to popular belief, the TVET subjects, although very beneficial to struggling students, are open to all students and can be of great value to both students and adults.

As such, focus will be placed on extending the course offerings and TVET options.
The inclusion of cosmetology and the option for short courses in TVET will build upon work already started in TVET.

Procurement of additional resources to facilitate such programmes will also be supported.

Our public servants were again called upon to persist with the non-pharmaceutical measures and implement the pharmaceutical measure that the World Health Organisation had reported as the best way of treating the COVID-19 virus.

The availability of the Astra Zeneca/Oxford vaccine means that public servants were potentially allowed an even higher protection against the COVID-19 severe illnesses.
According to the World Health Organisation, medical professionals can best advise individuals on whether or not one should receive a Covid-19 vaccine.

We therefore applaud the efforts of our public servants in becoming vaccinated and encourage those who are still hesitant to realise the data shows that the vaccines are safe as demonstrated by the vaccine efficacy, effectiveness and protection.
for As we continue to engineer ways of sustaining the support for our public servants and tertiary level students, we must reassess our strategies of reporting on the performances of such.

In these times when government financial resources are limited and under the greatest demand then our public servants and tertiary level students must be encouraged to be more efficient with the limited resources afforded to them.

In 2022, we will continue to offer training sessions to facilitate public sector reform.
We would want our public servants to become more conversant with the various Statutory Rules and Orders governing the public service.

We will place more emphasis on our priority list to facilitate financial assistance to tertiary level students.

Finally, we will ensure that more residents are accessing the scholarships that are available for the citizens of St. Kitts and Nevis.
Our ultimate goal is to ensure that our young people are offered relevant opportunities for the development of Nevis even during this COVID-19 Pandemic.

At this juncture, I would like to posthumously recognise the contribution of Ms. Ronise Williams to the Ministry of Human Resources.

Ms. Williams will be remembered for her genuine commitment in the Training Section of the Ministry of Human Resources.

Additionally, she had a zeal for knowledge and for upgrading herself academically.
This is evident in her being able to complete a Bachelor and Master’s Degrees in a short span of time.

Similarly, she was passionate about the academic well-being of others, and as such, supported applicants for numerous scholarships.

We will all remember her for her strong leadership and organizational skills, as she coordinated our October, 2019 Orientation Seminar and contributed significantly to the 2020 University Graduate Appreciation Ceremony.
Likewise, Ms. Williams was versatile, this was evident, as her primary role was at times, coupled with administrative duties.

The Ministry of Human Resources, therefore offers heartfelt condolences, for the loss, of a Rising Star that got consumed too soon, but God knows best.

May we continue to celebrate her life and the fond memories as her vivacious demeanor would suggest.

May her soul rest in eternal peace.


We offer our prayers for the entire family and friends during this difficult period of your grief/our grief.

Rest in Peace, Ms. Williams.

The Ministry of Human Resources and its patrons will miss you.
We continue Recapturing the Momentum; Restoring Fiscal Sustainability" ……………………………………………….. Honourable Mark Brantley Minister of Human Resources 230 12 - MINISTRY OF HUMAN RESOURCES 1.2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 2021, the Ministry of Human Resources was able to achieve the following: Supervisory Management Training: This year training was completed in-house with i. twenty (20) Senior Officers from all Ministries.
This approach was certainly more cost effective; we also covered twice the amount of officers in comparison to the total that usually complete this course.

Human Resources sitting in on workshops, also placed us at an advantage standpoint to assess the overall effectiveness of this initiative.

Performance Appraisal Training: This training was also aimed at Senior Officers across ii.

the entire organisation.


All sessions have been completed except two (2), of which are Permanent Secretaries and Principal Assistant Secretaries, as well as the Ministry of Finance, Senior Officers (Group 2), have been postponed due to COVID-19 interference.

Administrative Assistant Training: A course outline, training consultant, cost of training, iii.

and officers selected to undergo training have all been finalized; however, scheduled workshops were postponed due to COVID-19 challenges.

iv.
iv.

Orientation Seminar: Orientation was completed with new employees.

The Statutory Rules and Orders, Medical Insurance and Social Security Benefits as well as Financial Management were the topics that led the program’s discussions.

Recruitment & Selection Scheme and Structural Development: Quite a number of v. departments have applied guidelines established for normalizing our recruitment and selection process.
This development will take some time; however, door-to-door support will be given until we successfully normalize these protocols.

vi.

Departmental Organizational Charts, Job Descriptions, and Standard Operating Procedures: Another initiative that Senior Officers across the organization are taking advantage of.

The scheme has proven to revitalise professional ethics and general deportment.

Team Building Training: This workshop was completed with the department of vii.
Community Development, providing them with the tools to restore team cohesion.

The training was well received and deemed fruitful.

………………………………………………………….

Mr.

I. Edson Elliott Permanent Secretary Ministry of Human Resources 1.3 MANAGEMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT I submit for tabling in Parliament, the annual Report on Plans and Priorities (RPP) for the Ministry of Human Resources for 2022.
The document to the best of my knowledge provides an accurate representation of the Ministry’s plans and resources allocated.

It is consistent with the disclosure principles contained in the guidelines for preparing a Report on Plans and Priorities and is based on sound office information and management systems.

I am satisfied as to the quality assurance, processes and procedures used for the RPP’s production as the top level officers were engaged in strategic planning and collaboration.
The structure on which this document is based has been approved by the Ministry of Finance and 231 12 - MINISTRY OF HUMAN RESOURCES is the basis for accountability of the results achieved with the resources and authorities provided.

As a result, it will serve as a planning tool and working guide for the 2022 operation and beyond and will also act as an evaluation tool to assess performance.
…………………………… Mr I. Edson Elliott Permanent Secretary Ministry of Human Resources 1.4 MAIN ACTIVITIES CONTRIBUTING TO THE PORTFOLIO'S ANNUAL OBJECTIVES Internal Strategy Developing proper structure and operating procedures are vital to the training and development team’s overall efficiency and must be prioritized for 2022.
This must be established in order to accomplish specific, niche tasks so that quality is not diminished, and the Training Officer is free to focus on moving training and professional development forward.

Developing structure and operating procedures also means that employees get their individual jobs done easily and quickly which increases productivity, quality and provides room for creativity; clearly defined roles and procedures, team synergy and reporting structure will aid our advancement.
External Departments Training Training and development topics have been formulated with the intentions of continuing to contribute to the strengthening of management structures as well as moulding more competent and reliable support- staff.

It is anticipated that training on fundamentals such as Disciplinary Actions and Dress Code will also gain positive results, such as in the case of Performance Appraisal training.
Educating on these procedures are aimed at diminishing the perception of punishment and control and limiting or slowly correcting destructive environments.

Training is also to encourage a progressive atmosphere where employees are knowledgeable about what is expected of them, and how both management and staff can work towards positive performances and working environments.
It is important to note, that there is a growing need to improve language skills with our frontline staff to meet the needs of our Hispanic community.

Thus, our first group of officers will be sent to the University of the West Indies to be taught entry level Spanish.
Business Writing and Communication as well as Public Speaking and Presentation Skills have been added to the list to further contribute to the strengthening of Senior Officers to support successful leadership and commence succession planning.

In-house training throughout 2021 have reveal the need to improve upon our Senior Officers communication skills, especially in business writing.
We must recognized the significance of proper communication when in senior positions, especially in such as large organisation where at times managers and/or supervisor have to deal with all levels of management as well as the external business environment.

A key part of Senior Officers responsibility in the Public Service, is presentation.

Whether internally or to the public; presentations and/or public speaking is an integral part of Senior Officers’ duties.
It is, therefore, important for managers to be well equipped to impactfully communicate all at levels and to external stakeholders.

Foundationally, professional development is no longer merely necessary for employees to progress, especially senior staff.

Professional development is paramount and at the very least expected.

Public Servants that form this pivotal institution, yearn for major investment in their professional advancement.
We must quench this desire in order to improve the retention of key personnel.

232 12 - MINISTRY OF HUMAN RESOURCES 1.5 MAIN CHALLENGES TO ACHIEVE PORTFOLIO'S ANNUAL OBJECTIVES During the earlier months of the year, it appeared that we would outpace our goals for 2021; however, the following details outline reoccurring challenges as well as unforeseen obstacles.

Additional lockdowns and continued community spread further delayed scheduled trainings and increased the backlog of sessions planned for 2021.
The training team was able to accomplish some of our shortcomings such as operating procedures for handling scholarships.

Our effectiveness was also high, as with increased staffing the team produced more.

Unfortunately, the team reverted to two (2) officers and must once again endure the on boarding process to retain our previously attained peak efficiency.
Consequently, it is important to employ someone in the latter part of 2021 so that in 2022, we can quickly regain stability or else the following difficulties will remain or resurface: i.

During heavy training periods, there is no scholarship support staff available.

Whilst handling financial aid applications, training sessions cannot be conducted, hence ii.

completing minimal topics yearly.

iii.


It is difficult to complete a satisfactory amount of topics throughout the calendar year to support each department needs.

iv.

It is difficult to assist more than one department with training matters at the same time.

It is challenging to complete follow-up training sessions or interventions which are v. heavily requested by both management and staff.

vi.

Developing internal operating procedures will once again take a back-seat.
Thorough departmental examinations to determine the most appropriate training topics vii.

and improvement strategies will be limited.

The training element of Human Resources was able to advance to a team of three (3) officers, but it would be an injustice to say that we did not experience work overload.

Nonetheless, it is evident that upon completion of our on boarding process, the team would be able to produce more and at a faster pace.
Now that the team have reverted to two (2) officers, it must be re- emphasized, that at least three (3) dedicated and skilled personnel will fulfil the objective of creating a training team that provides more efficient and consistent support to such a large institution.
233 12 - MINISTRY OF HUMAN RESOURCES Global Objectives To optimize Human Resources in the Nevis Island Administration by motivating and evaluating staff, also applying the rules and regulations of the public service in a fair and equitable manner, in an effort to improve the employee’s contribution towards realization of the organisation’s goals and objectives.

The Covid-19 Pandemic has negatively impacted our ability to accomplish many of the objectives set out in the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals in the near future including Goals 1 and 2; No poverty and zero hunger.

My Ministry being cognizant of this will redouble its efforts to ensure we positively impact those that are most vulnerable and have become even more vulnerable because of the pandemic.
Therefore, as we emerge from the crisis, the Ministry anticipates that there will be an uneven pace of recovery for individuals and families.

We stand ready to continue the assistance to those that are in need of such assistance.

The Department of Social Services will be instrumental in the fulfilment of many of the Ministry’s objectives.
The YTS (Yes to Success) initiative has already gained tremendous success since its implementation and it is one of the fundamental programmes designed to provide training to the youths of our community.

Its training programme will intensify in the upcoming year as we endeavour to provide the necessary skills for entry into meaningful employment.

This concentration on skills development will focus on individuals in the hospitality and service industry.
We are cognizant that strong actions to secure social inclusion among our youths are the necessary foundations for tomorrow.

Thus, the Youth Division will continue to provide training targeting youths that remain unemployed or underemployed as we begin to recapture the economic status.

The Federal Youth Policy is expected to be revised and upgraded in 2022.

It is axiomatic that engaged youths will have a tremendous advantage to positively shape the future.
Thus the Ministry and its Departments will ensure the participation of youths in each area of social development.

As we emerge from the pandemic and the restriction on social gathering we anticipate the resurgence of cultural activities on the island.

We will refocus our efforts on the creative arts and culture industry to ensure the advancement of our young men and women who are a part of this thriving global industry.
Efforts to create external markets and connections to showcase the Nevisian creativity will be undertaken by the Ministry.

The Ministry in executing its plans as outlined will play its role in restoring the economic and social momentum for the future development of the island of Nevis.

………………………………….. Honourable Eric Evelyn Minister of Social Development et al 1.2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Yes to Success programme is aimed at providing meaningful engagement to young persons.
As their 7th cycle of the programme unfolds next week, young school leavers and other older youth up to the age of 25 will benefit from the three months skilled training programme.

1.2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Ministry of Social Development in an effort to relieve the tremendous suffering of many families has expanded its social protection programmes with hundreds of additional families benefiting from food and household assistance.
Counsellors and Case-Workers have provided increased intervention to persons in need of psycho social care.

The Counselling Centre celebrated its first year in operation and Counselling Awareness Month was held 2021.

It was a proud moment for the new operation which has gotten off to an excellent start with respect to providing professional services to clients referred through Government ministries, schools and other entities.
The YTS (Yes to Success) Youth Skills Training & Diversion site recently opened at Pinney’s Estate is committed to providing services for young persons in their target group.
It is funded 240 13 - MINISTRY OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT,YOUTH, SPORTS, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND CULTURE Anticipating the re-opening of hotels and restaurants affected by the Covid19 pandemic and hopefully a surge in the construction industry, the planning team at Social Services are offering Hospitality Preparedness Training, and Basic Plumbing, Electrical classes over the next three months to help boost the young person’s confidence in job search at hotels and in the construction industry.
The Sustainable Development Unit during the year in review embarked on a few initiatives geared towards bringing awareness of the Sustainable Development Goals.

These initiatives provided information to the general public about the goals and steps being taken by Nevis to achieve these 17 global goals by the year 2030.
The work of the unit has been severely curtailed by the ongoing Covid-19 pandemic, which has impacted the ability of the Unit to take its work to one of the most important populations – school children.

As a result the unit had to regroup and rethink its strategies for bringing awareness of the goals.
The Unit facilitated a capacity building Project Proposal Workshop from May 10 – 14 at the Jessup’s Community Centre where sixteen participants were given training in the steps and tools required to draft successful proposals and access funding for projects.

This workshop facilitated by Mr. Leonard Stapleton was aligned to goal 17- Partnerships for the Goals.
The Unit is expected to launch a new televised interactive educational programme where the focus will be on the Sustainable Development Goals and what is currently being done to achieve these goals.

Representatives from various ministries will be provided with a forum for them to highlight the achievements and challenges faced in realizing the 2030 global agenda.
The Department of Youth prides itself in supporting the interests of all of our young people, be it individuals who are unattached from youth groups or individuals who are members of youth-led and youth-serving organizations.

The Department continues to support capacity-building efforts of youth groups.
This was especially noted when the Departments of Youth on St. Kitts and Nevis, through the CARICOM Youth Ambassadors’ Programme, secured grant funding from the Global Environment Facility (GEF) Small Grants’ Programme.

The ultimate goal was to operationalize all youth groups in a manner that is in keeping with the St. Kitts and Nevis Federal Youth Policy.

This action will also lead to the resuscitation of the Nevis Youth Council.

Worthy of note is the particular interest in climate change advocacy.
The Department deemed it critical for your young people to become sensitized to the issues relating to climate change and the preservation of the environment.

A number of initiatives were implemented including the appointment of Green Ambassadors, the production of a Save the Earth music video, Youth Beach Games (with emphasis on marine conservation), and the Conversations in Nature Talk Show.

The music video was also showcased at the United Nations Climate Change Conference (COP 26).
For the year 2022, one of the intended undertakings of the Department is to further regulate the operations of all youth-serving and youth-led groups and organizations and to celebrate youth practitioners.

Therefore, the twelve months’ GEF-funded Youth Group Capacity Building Training will commence this year.

The Departments of Youth on St. Kitts and Nevis intend to engage in consultative activities that will result in the reviewing and updating of Federal Youth Policy.
The Policy period was from 2017 to 2022.

Lastly, the Department will continue to focus on youth excellence through the Youth Impact 12 Programme and the 25 Most Remarkable Teens’ Programme.

Over the last two years, the vital role that mass media plays in periods of crisis, such as the 241 1.4 MAIN ACTIVITIES CONTRIBUTING TO THE PORTFOLIO'S ANNUAL OBJECTIVES 13 - MINISTRY OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT,YOUTH, SPORTS, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND CULTURE COVID-19 pandemic, has been brought into sharp focus.
Nevis Television (NTv) production staff at the Department of Information was called upon to coordinate and execute coverage of an unprecedented number of events.

An ever-increasing number of these events were virtual.

Among other accomplishments, the Department of Information is especially proud this year of having been able to successfully bring to the living rooms and smart devices of the people of Nevis, here and in the diaspora, the first virtual Nevis Culturama, the island’s summer festival.
From August 28 to September 20, 2021, the Nevis Television facilitated the live broadcast of nine Culturama activities the department’s online platforms, all in an effort to have the Nevisian community experience the events, while remaining safe and in good health.

The Nevis Island Administration is projected to collect $131,370,800 in current revenue for 2022.

This remains below the Pre-Covid-19 level of revenue collection.

Tax revenue will continue to feel the tail winds of the Covid-19 era.

It is projected at $95.85 million down from the actual collection of $105.37 million in 2019.

The Value Added tax at both the Customs and Inland Revenue Department are expected to remain stagnant in 2022.
This tax at the Inland Revenue Department is heavily dependent on the rebounding of the tourism sector which is expected to be modest in its turnaround for the upcoming year.

The Social Services Levy will also remain below its Pre-Crisis level and is projected at $9.0 million.

Taxes on Property is projected to increase to $4.2 million and non tax revenue at the Financial Services Department is also expected to increase to $14.95 million.
