It provides information on the expectations of my Administration for the periods of 2020 – 2022.

The budget is presented under the theme “Building Resilience: Improving Infrastructure for Long Term Development, A Harmonized Approach to Economic Growth”.

The year 2020 marks an opportune occasion for the Administration to reorient its plans and policies to build the resilient future of the island.

Resilience has become a buzzword in the lexicon of persons in many fields.
The preservation of the planet has called for actions that will improve resilience and sustainability in our consumption and investment patterns.

Environmental protection is good for business in both the public and the private sector.

Sustainable investment in construction including building and road infrastructure will benefit us for many years to come.

Consequently, promoting practices that enhance resilience in these areas are important to my Administration.
While we concentrate on resilience, we are also cognizant that we need to move forward as a people.

On this mantra of moving forward, the Administration over the years has made every effort to expand the hotel plant on the island.

We must develop polices to differentiate ourselves in a very crowded tourism market.

This will continue to be the thrust for the 2020 period.
We strongly believe that another high end hotel comparable to the Four’s Seasons Resort can reap tremendous benefits for the island and thus our support for these projects is unwavering.

The investment in the hard infrastructure of the island is apparent.

However, we have also invested in the soft infrastructure of social protection, education curriculum development and health education programmes.

These we feel are equally important to achieving the resilience we seek.
I wish the island success in 2020 and hope we can make great strides in accomplishing the goals set out in this budget.
Best regards, …………………………….........

In keeping with its mandate, the Office will ensure that all laws enacted are done pursuant to the Constitution which is the supreme law of the land and that said laws may only be subject to scrutiny and interpretation by a Court of law in keeping with the principles of separation of powers enshrined within the said Constitution.

We will facilitate the enactment of laws that provide for the social and economic advancement of the island and the people whom the laws are intended to govern.
Legislature has its own office and complimentary staff beginning July 2017.

The establishment of this new office will of course contribute significantly to the development of a stronger Parliamentary workforce so that it can execute the tasks that are ahead.

In that, it will help to enhance the integrity of Legislature and provide minutes of meetings in a timely manner.

The record will show that there has not been any minutes tabled in the Nevis Island Assembly for over twelve (12) years.
It is the aim of the Legislature’s Office to ensure that Procedures and documentation of the House proceedings are paramount on the operation of this Office.

It is also our aim to continue to strengthen our relationship with the Federal Parliament and affiliate associations and most importantly, with the general public and youth on the island.

This effort will assist tremendously in creating visibility and understanding of the workings of this Office and the Assembly and the Parliamentary process overall.
We aspire to continue to uphold the principles of democracy, fairness, transparency and good faith in the executive of this mandate and to continue to main the trust and respect of all.

The Department is led by a Legal Advisor and comprises a Senior Legal Counsel, three Junior Counsel, two Legal Assistants 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 on a wide range of complex issues.

In order to be most effective, the cadre of Legal Counsel at the Department are required to have a keen understanding of government business and to work closely with the Ministries, Departments and Statutory Corporations.

Scope of Work of the Legal Department The work undertaken by the Legal Department is multifaceted and oftentimes sensitive.
It ranges from civil litigation in public and private law matters to advisory and legislative assignments including specialist areas of corporate, contract, conveyancing and employment law.

One Junior Counsel is assigned to the Federal Director of Public Prosecutions for the purpose of facilitating prosecution of criminal matters in Nevis.
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.

During 2019 the Legal Department has been increasingly tasked with negotiating and drafting development agreements in respect of a diverse range of projects including geothermal energy production, airport, hotel and infrastructure development.
In the meantime, Nevis has become an intensely litigious society as people increasingly turn to the courts in order to assert perceived rights and freedoms.

Therefore the Department has increasingly been called to represent the administration in public law matters such as judicial review applications at High Court and Court of Appeal levels.

It is anticipated that this trend will continue.

However, there is still need for a Legal Counsel with substantial experience at the Bar.
An additional Legal Assistant has been added to the staff complement.

In 2019 the Department enjoyed some success in avoiding litigation and arriving at mutually agreed settlements in the best interests of the parties.

Parties and their Counsel are continuously encouraged to dialogue with the Department to avoid litigation where at all possible.
During 2019, all Ministries and Departments took advantage of the opportunity to consult with the Legal Department and the Department turned around more than 226 non-litigation matters and appeared more than 40 times in the High Court and the Court of Appeal.

In 2019, the Administration’s legislative agenda continued to be busy and the department was able to deliver several pieces of new legislation and amendments to existing legislation.
As the Department continues to play an integral role in the creation of new laws and the amendment of existing legislation, it would be of immeasurable support for the Department if a permanent position of Senior Parliamentary Counsel could be established.

With all administrative staff fully reinstalled, the Department was able to undertake a full scale archiving programme with the objective of freeing up much need physical space.
A digitisation project was undertaken that permitted the scanning and saving of almost 1TB (terabyte) of data freeing up several cabinets that previously stored gazettes and files more than 20 years old.

The Temporary Non- Established Workers assigned between September 2018 and March 2019 were extremely helpful in the Digitisation Project.
It continues to be the case that the 48 04 - LEGAL SERVICES paramount challenge for the Department is sourcing adequate office space to accommodate its Staff and the significant storage space required for its records.

There is no physical room for growth of the Department.

Staff Training It is recognized that both administrative and legal staff should engage in further training in order to achieve maximum efficiency.
Several training opportunities were offered to various members of the Department and these were enthusiastically received.

In 2020 Critical training in Compliance, Counter financing of Terrorism and Anti-Money Laundering will again be pursued for the benefit of Counsel at the Legal Department with planned participation in local and regional seminars.

The document to the best of my knowledge provides an accurate representation of the Office'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 Legal Department.

......................................... Mrs. Helene Anne Lewis Legal Advisor Legal Services 2.4.1.4 MAIN ACTIVITIES CONTRIBUTING TO THE PORTFOLIO'S ANNUAL OBJECTIVES • Provide efficient, ethical and professional legal services to the Government of Nevis in matters related but not limited to the conduct of civil litigation in all of Nevis’ Court systems.

• Provide sound and responsive legal advice to Government Ministries, Government Departments, Statutory Bodies and other agencies on legal matters.
• Research of relevant laws.

• Drafting and preparation of legal opinions on diverse and complex issues.

• Prepare legal documents including Pleadings, Notice of Orders, Affidavits, Petitions, Motions, Conveyancing, Transfers, Deeds, Bonds, Agreements, Contracts, and Leases.

49 04 - LEGAL SERVICES • Review, vet and approve documents for Marriage Licences, Aliens Land Holding Licences, and Declaration of Natural Parents Applications for registration of father’s name.

• Contribution to a draft policy on a single jurisdiction for business entities setting out the administrative, legislative, and governance arrangements needed to support this single jurisdiction within CSME for companies to operate.
It is hoped that this online registry will improve the ease of doing business as it relates to companies registration on the island.

2.4.1.5 MAIN CHALLENGES TO ACHIEVE PORTFOLIO'S ANNUAL OBJECTIVES Lack of diverse and extensive training of both Legal and Administrative Staff.

Lack of Draftsperson attached to the Legal Services Department.

Limited technological and computerized networking and computer training.
Lack of a cohesive and structured internal system of communication and flow of external information.

Lack of a comprehensive internal database.

Limited library and research materials including practitioners’ texts and case law subscription.

The establishment of an efficient, modernised law library and access to relevant and updated research material are still a work in progress.
The Legal Services Department subscription to reputable case law research database such as WestLaw or Lexis Nexis is still desperately lacking.

In order to effectively compete with any private chambers within or outside of the Federation the proper tools must be made readily available to all Counsels.

To do so, adequate financial backing is critical.

The financial investment in the island’s infrastructure is a testament to our commitment to this resilient future.

We have turned our attention in a significant way to financing improvements to our schools and this is no accident.

We recognize the need for major renovations to provide an enhanced atmosphere for learning as part of this resilient future.

Thus, I feel that our expenditure plans place importance on the need for well guided infrastructure development.
Managing both our financial and physical resources are important and as Minister of Finance I call on all persons responsible for using our public infrastructure to take care of them.

A critical aspect of resilience is a tax system that is progressive, transparent and robust.

Our tax base must be able to support the continued investment in the infrastructure stated previously; ensuring the level and quality of economic development that the people of Nevis deserves.
This is why at every juncture I advocate for the fair and equitable payment of taxes.

Taxes serve as avenues for revenue generation but they also serve as avenues for good governance.

They help my Government to support the mandate of quality social and physical infrastructure.

However, they also support a vibrant democracy: you pay your taxes; you hold government accountable.

This aspect of holding government accountable is at the heart of liberal democracy and supports the progressive society we crave.
Our tax departments have focussed on the provision of taxpayer friendly services through the use of information technology and the expansion of taxpayer education.

These have reaped tremendous benefits.

However, the culture to pay taxes must be inculcated in our people and I call for this culture to be planted and to grow.

My commitment to the small business sector has resulted in the contracting of a loan from the Taiwanese Government in the amount of $2.5 million to be on-lend to small businesses.
This initiative is a direct attempt to mitigate the financing gap that small businesses face and will concentrate on applicants with new and innovate ideas that need seed funding to help to bring their ideas to fruition.
We anticipate that a number of new businesses will benefit from these loans in the coming year and I call on young persons to take advantage of this financing initiative with carefully formulated business plans including the market you intend to target, how you will grow and generate revenue to repay the loan.

The 2020 period will see increased scrutiny of the Nevis international financial subsector.
In March, the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force will carry out an evaluation of the subsector to ensure it is in compliance with international standards designed to detect and deter money laundering, the financing of terrorism and the proliferation of weapons of mass destruction.

We are hopeful that this evaluation will be successful and the Administration can continue to implement policies for the sustainability of the subsector.
I take this opportunity to commend the staff of the Ministry of Finance and its various departments.

I continue to hold you accountable for the good management of government financial resources and thus I wish us every success in the 2020 fiscal year.

All the various sectors including tourism, agriculture, financial services and health care depend on a robust and reliable infrastructure for long term economic growth.

To this end the Ministry will continue its road development programme in 2020.

I am sure that all the citizens and residents of Nevis are pleased with the island main road upgrade from the Cotton Ground junction to Cliff Dwellers.
Many of the resilient issues to climate change and variability have been resolved along this 2500 meters stretch of road.

The island main road rehabilitation project will continue in 2020 with the goal of rehabilitating the main carriage way from Cliff Dwellers all the way to Camps.

Public Works Department is responsible for a number of secondary village road projects namely ongoing road works in Brown Hill, Bath Village and Craddock Road.
Furthermore, the section of the Shaws Road Project from Newcastle to Fountain is promised to be finished in 2020 after the long delay.

Currently the Nevis Water Department (NWD) is installing a new chlorination system and a SCADA System which would enable NWD to remotely monitor water levels and turn off and turn on Pumps at the Pumping Stations depending on the water situation.
This SCADA system is a very good foundation for further improvements in the water system in terms of technology such as remotely reading water meters.

The Ministry and NWD will work together to explore the possibility of the acquisition of electronic meters with a view to do a pilot area for remotely reading water meters while collecting important data for water resource management.
The Department of Physical Planning and Environment continues to play a critical role in building resilience and ensure sustainability and long term growth.

Our lands must be developed in accordance with certain regulations and guidelines and internationally accepted principles especially as we live on an island with limited space and a sensitive environment.
In order for us to adapt in the face of climate change we must take steps to control development and ensure that all developments follow the laws to guide land development.

As indicated in my previous budget speech under the UNDP funded “Conserving Biodiversity and Reducing Habitat Degradation in Protected Areas and their Areas of Influence” Project (‘St.

Kitts and Nevis Biodiversity Project’ for short) an Interpretation Centre was constructed at Hardtimes Estate in Gingerland.
We want to express thanks to the UNDP for funding this project.

The Interpretation Centre would be the base for the two employed Park Rangers who were trained under this project to manage and monitor the Nevis National Park protected area which consist of Nevis Peak and Camp River Ghaut.
I wish to express my appreciate to all of my staff the Ministry and Departments for their commitment in the 2019 period and to ask that they redouble their efforts in 2020 and beyond to ensure that the island physical infrastructure remains resilient and sustainable.

........................................ Hon.


Spencer Brand Minister of Communications 1.2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The fiscal year of 2020 will see the Ministry of Communication continuing its work to develop the physical infrastructure of the island.

The quality of the lives of our citizens rely heavily on these infrastructural development.

Therefore, the Ministry will work to secure quality roads, water, postal services and buildings.
111 07 - MINISTRY OF COMMUNICATIONS, PUBLIC WORKS, WATER SERVICES, POSTS, PHYSICAL PLANNING, & ENVIRONMENT The road projects that we have began in areas such as Brown Hill, Bath Village and Craddock Road will be completed next year.

These along with the rehabilitation to the island main road can only redound to the improvement in road transport on the island.

Our citizens can thoroughly enjoy these improvements.
The implementation of a new chlorination system is also intended to improve the quality of our lives.

The Ministry was not able to successfully conclude the arrangement with BEAD for new water supplies.

However, we are already in negotiation with another entity or entities to continue the water drilling program on Nevis.
Moreover Mr. President, a Concept Note has already being developed with the assistance of the Caribbean Development Bank in collaboration with the Federal Government titled “Building Resiliency in the Water Supply in St Kitts and Nevis” to develop a project to access funding from the Green Climate Fund to increase the supply of water in St. Kitts and Nevis through the installation of water desalination plants for St. Kitts and Nevis.
The Ministry has also established a Water Resource Management Unit that should be rolling out some public education and information programs in 2020 as well as deal with water resource management issues on the island of Nevis working with the various stakeholders.

In addition, to build capacity within the Nevis Water Department a new Water Engineer has been employed effective 01 October 2019.
The Water Engineer will strengthen the management and technical team in the department and assist in dealing with operations.

These programs and activities Mr. President, are all geared towards building resilience and improving our infrastructure while we take an integrated and harmonized approach to long term economic growth and development.
The Department of Labour on Nevis continues to play a vital role in building resilience and to ensure that there is a harmonized approach to long term economic growth.

It continues to educate the general public and the Nevis labour force on the application of the labour laws of the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis to ensure that there is fairness and harmony in the workplace.
The department played a vital role during the difficult period of the temporary closure of the Four Seasons Resort Nevis and now the closure of the Brown Hill Communications.

It has been providing a public employment service for the citizens and residents on Nevis.

For instance out of a total of 76 new applications, 23 of those persons were employed due to the service provided by the Labour department.
Moreover, it was able to facilitate the four (4) persons from Nevis to travel to Canada for the Canada Agricultural Program.

The department was represented on the Tripartite Committee established by the Federal Government to look at drafting a Labour Code for the Federation.
This labour code was submitted to the Cabinet of the Government of St. Kitts and Nevis and would be tabled in the National Parliament for its first reading after which there would be a series of town hall meetings in both St. Kitts and Nevis.

It is also represented on the Minimum Wage Advisory Committee consisting of representatives of employers, workers, the Christian Council and Rastafarians.

Finally the International Labour Organization (ILO) celebrated its centenary this year.
The department participated in a week of activities in October 2019 to commemorate ILO centenary, from 13th to 18th October 2019 which culminated in a Regional Labour Conference at the Marriott Beach Resort St. Kitts.

While over the last four years we have focussed on food security, going forward we must now focus on the sustainability aspect as we have learned, time frames are important as it is specific to population and needs.

We have established that we cannot produce everything on the island however there are crops and products such as vegetables, starches, proteins that provide the necessary nutritional options for sustenance to our population.
In 2020 the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations will focus on plant health issues affecting the world.

Here on Nevis we have to also focus on these matters led of course by our plant quarantine professionals.

Failure in this aspect suggests an abdication of our responsibilities as we recognise that plants are the foundation of everything we do in agriculture and related fields.
The Ministry of Agriculture, Lands, Housing et al is ably supported by the able and competent Nevis Housing and Land Development Corporation.

The Corporation will continue to pioneer in the housing revolution that has happened in Nevis and not only providing affordable housing solutions across the island, but to make sure that Nevisians have access to a piece of Nevis for their personal development whether it be home or business endeavours.
One of the programs being pursued is the University Heights Housing project where we assist those who have made the sacrifice to better themselves.

Further the NHLDC is the primary source of quarry materials which based on their efficiency has allowed savings in both private and public infrastructural projects.

It is envisioned that the careful management of this resource will continue and efforts to realise export potential will be pursued in the coming year.
Land usage on the island is something that is done in association with other Ministries and through the process of zoning, the relevant physical spaces are allocated to ensure the comfort of residents as well as a range of commercial ventures.

There are two regional projects expected in the new year that the ministry will participate in as we seek to harmonise the natural balance between plants, animals and our residents.
The failure of many of the cooperative societies on the island caused the Ministry to go back to the drawing board to assess how we can best assist primary producers and agro-processors as they ply their trade.

What we are seeking to do while we improve our production across the sector is to assist our farmers both in terms of incorporating proper business practices and information technology into their operations.
The Ministry of Agriculture for 2020 will adjust our outlook and repurpose the staff formerly at the Department of cooperatives and to assist individual primary producers to focus on business development.

This we think 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 proven science and consumer purchase patterns.
There is the thrust as well to increase the mechanisation, in many ways the 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, if we are to decrease the average age of our farmers we have to ensure there is an appeal, return on investment and to work smarter and not necessarily harder.
We accept this type of behaviour is cultural and will be difficult to change in a short time period, however we have enough examples across other sectors and even other countries to believe this is the way to go.

139 08 - MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE, LANDS, COOPERATIVES, MARINE RESOURCES & DISASTER MANAGEMENT The Ministry continues to struggle with the effects of the Monkey and Donkey populations respectively.
There is the belief that the numbers of both animals are at crisis stage, where the available resources cannot support their existing population and we are on the verge of a behavioural shift that could negatively impact humans.

The Ministry is actively engaging partners such as CARDI, Ross University and others to determine the best way to reduce the populations to sustainable levels.
Local research on monkeys has shown that the interaction with humans on health level shows diseases and bugs that can be transferred to humans and secondly their violent nature can injure vulnerable persons if the monkeys feel threatened.

The challenges of climate change are real and with the help of allied agencies we are championing the adoption of smart agriculture techniques.
The last 4 years on record have been the hottest in human history and there are consequences on small and vulnerable economies such longer dry spells, rain deluges, more violent hurricanes and associated pests and diseases.

We continue to push 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 2019 the Ministry redoubled efforts in planting fruit or tree crops such as soursop, guava, golden apples and citrus which yielded some success and as such will be continued.

Agro Processing as a sector continues to be 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 life of our local fruits and vegetables.

With assistance from IICA and other allied agencies the Nevis Agro Processing Centre has operated more than 15 years and demonstrated what can be done, however we are now embarking on a process where we look at the efficiency of producing certain items, standardisation of menus and packaging.
Just as we expect farmers to be strategic and accountable we have to lead the way and to ensure items are not just produced for show.

We are grateful for the assistance from Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine for their assistance in enhancing the quality of the 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.

As the confidence grows in the cattle program, the team at the stock farm in this year will be looking at the feasibility of Dairy Production where they would be producing cow’s milk for local consumption.

The Department of Marine Resources is continuing its efforts to improve the service delivered to our Fishers.
The ongoing collaboration with the office in St Kitts as it relates to training in safety and sustainability matters will continue.

The appointment of an Enforcement Officer will also assist as we seek to ensure that while we support this sector we must also make sure that the law is upheld and persons are not taken advantage of.

We are also finalising plans for the department to have its own office space in an area that is accessible to the general public complete with Laboratory and Training facilities.
Fishing is a critical food supplier to our people and the department must be in a position to ensure the safety and regulation of marine harvested items.

We are very happy that in 2019 we were spared from any major hurricanes, however the staff at the Ministry through the Nevis Disaster Management Department continue to work towards an aggressive education campaign to sensitise our people about both natural and man made events.
For more than two years the department has partnered with schools and faith based 140 08 - MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE, LANDS, COOPERATIVES, MARINE RESOURCES & DISASTER MANAGEMENT organisations to create awareness with a multi-hazard campaign which has yielded some success.
The NDMD participates in a regional monitoring network for Natural events whether it be earthquakes or weather events and are actively maintaining sensitive equipment across the island and frequently participate in training opportunities to maintain our readiness as well as mitigation activities.

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, however the challenge for 2020 is to harness our human resources, available mechanisation and information technology in the right combination to support our people and economy.
.................................. Hon Alexis Jeffers Minister 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 State Owned Enterprise - 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 Management of the island’s Natural Resources and accept applications for Alien Land Holding Licenses.

The Ministry’s mandate is to support primary producers as well as related processors to provide safe and healthy food for a growing population of both residents and visitors.
We encourage these primary producers to use existing and new technologies to grow their various business enterprises.

The Ministry also is mandated to ensure that the necessary framework is in place to ensure the welfare of residents.

The Ministry of Agriculture is grateful for the support we have 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 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 Ministry through the Cooperatives / Business Development Officer will work with clients on an individual level and coordinate with the departments of Agriculture and Marine Resources and provide that much needed management support that is required to advance this sector.
141 08 - MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE, LANDS, COOPERATIVES, MARINE RESOURCES & DISASTER MANAGEMENT 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.

As our country advance economically, along with increase globalization, the lifestyle of the people have changed.

Life expectancy is higher and with that comes an increased burden of disease resulting from chronic Non Communicable Diseases (NCD’s) such as hypertension, diabetes, cancer and obesity.

Health problems such as NCD’s must be addressed by improving primary health care and promoting healthy life styles.
It is important that people understand that a large percentage of these chronic illnesses are preventable.

We will continue to advance the SKN Move initiative, scale up targeted health messages and increase access to basic services through our community screening outreach activities with the use of our Medical Mobile Unit.

The availability of well-trained personnel is one of the important prerequisite for the efficient functioning of the health system.
Like many countries, human resources for health continues to be a challenge.

We will however continue to train, retain and recruit required health personnel when necessary.

Efforts will be made in 2020 to have a minimum of two specialists on staff to ensure seamless provision of service at the institution.

In 2020 we will see improvements in the physical infrastructure of the health system.
The Alexandra Hospital will see the completion of a larger more modern kitchen, which will provide patients meals and nutritional counselling.

By the end of the year the built aspect of the hospital expansion project will be completed with work being down on installations and finishing’s.

We will continue to increase the diagnostic, medical and surgical versatility of our institution by equipping our hospital with innovative imaging technologies.
These will include the purchase of a mammogram machine, a C-arm machine and further advancement towards the purchase of a CT-scan.

To reduce the burden of manual records and to efficiently manage hospital administration, financial and clinical data a new Hospital Information System will also be implemented.

Given the current advancement in health technology and other non-traditional jobs more efforts must be made to bridge the gap.
Since gender equality remains a fundamental human right and is intrinsically linked to sustainable development, gender mainstreaming will be a priority.

The Gender Affairs Department will continue to design and implement developmental programmes aimed at providing equal opportunities for both men and women.

While we provide avenues to empower women in all aspect of society, the National Entrepreneurship training programme will be available to both gender.
In 2020, the implementation of the Domestic and Sexual Violence Protocol Implementation will seek to provide standards for the response and prevention of sexual and domestic violence.

Victims can build resilience through the establishment of strong social support system.

The Ministry will continue to increase its capacity for promoting and maintaining a clean environment which is essential for human health and well-being.
With this in mind, the Nevis Solid Waste Management Authority will explore practical and viable waste management options.

The Environmental Health Department will continue their entomological surveillance using the newly employed QGIS which will provide relevant data needed for the development of an Integrate Vector Management programme aimed at preventing the transmission of vector-borne diseases such as dengue.
Since governments are limited in their capacity and scope of work due to finite resources, we will continue to forge partnership with private and academic institutions as well as government bodies in providing training, medical equipment, and research initiatives.
158 09 - MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND GENDER AFFAIRS With technical support from PAHO, a new cadre of health workers will be trained in Mass Casualty Management, Emergency Care and Treatment and Incident Command Systems to ensure that appropriate systems, procedures and resources are in place to provide prompt, effective assistance to victims of disaster.
The draft facility disaster plan done by the University of Illinois and the Nevis Disaster Management Department for the Flamboyant Nursing home and the three selected health centres will be finalized.

The Ministry will advance the implementation of the Multi-Hazard plan aimed at strengthening the country’s capacity for all-hazards, health emergency and disaster risk management for a disaster- resilient health sector.
Health is wealth, therefore access to health service is critical for economic growth and development.

The Federation is urged to move towards universal health insurance coverage as under this scheme each citizen would have access to the high quality services he or she requires.

This can be possible if we increase investment in public health as well as seeking alternative funding mechanisms that encourage prevention instead of treatment.
With the increase in public demand and the utilization of services, health expenditure continues to rise.

A review of the existing facilities fees becomes necessary in order for us to provide the quantity and quality of services needed to improve health outcomes in the population and to respond to people’s expectations.
……………………………………… Mrs. Hazel Brandy-Williams Junior Minister Ministry of Health 1.2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Ministry of health is dedicated to providing a responsive, integrated and efficient health system that puts patient first and enable people to achieve their best possible health by promoting healthy choices and responsive health care.

Non Communicable Diseases continues to be a major public health concern and are very relevant to our accomplishment of the Sustainable Development Goals.
These priority diseases account for a significant proportion of our disease burden in terms of morbidity, mortality and disability.

Our first strategic goal focuses on the improvement of public health with special efforts directed at the implementation of programmes that address Non Communicable as well as Communicable Diseases (NCD’s).
These programmes include the provision of preventative services such as screening, immunization and health education which are offered through our Community Health Centres.

These screening programmes will help to identify individuals at risk allowing for prevention or early treatment of health conditions.
The Health Promotion Division which is also an integral part of the preventive services will continue to create public awareness, advocate for enabling environments which facilitate community involvement and participation, while promoting activities that foster and maintain healthy behaviour.ion to promote health”.

We will further address issues of mental health, gender based violence and gender equality; the latter with a view of providing equal opportunities for both men and women in our society.
In 2020 emphasis will be focused on capacity building in areas to improve skills, knowledge, and attitude of health workers.

This is with a view to develop a health work force that is responsive, professional, effective and efficient in providing safe clinical, promotive and preventive health services.
Some of these capacity building initiatives will be executed through 159 09 - MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND GENDER AFFAIRS enhance collaboration with local, regional and international health developing partners such as NDMD, Pan American Health Organisation, CARPHA and UNFPA, focusing on health services delivery, human resource development, training and research.
It is through our annual training initiatives in Emergency Care and Treatment and Mass Casualty Management that the Ministry is able to strengthen the capacity for all hazards, health and disaster risk management for a disaster-resilient health sector.

Moreover, the Ministry will continue to explore and utilize safe environmental health management approaches that will emphasize resilience and sustainability in addressing complex environmental health issues such a waste management and vector control.
Expansion of the health infrastructure will see the conclusion of the built aspect of the hospital expansion project and the implementation of a new Health Information system which aimed at providing a paperless system that covers the clinical, administrative, and financial aspect of the hospital operations.

Diagnostic services will be further enhanced through the purchase of a mammogram and C-Arm machine.

Similarly a new ambulance will strengthen our emergency and pre-hospital services.
Increase in public demands for service, life expectancy and the notably increase in Non-Communicable Diseases will continue to drive up expenditure hence it is imperative to ensure financial sustainability of Health sector.

As part of the need to prepare for the foundation of a sustainable financing system we have to improve the way services are purchased and provided.
Apart from the anticipated role out of National Health Insurance, 2020 will see the revision of fees both at hospital and community health level to bring in line with actual cost of services.

Through leadership and partnership the Ministry is dedicated to providing the resources that are critical to health system strengthening to improve the health of our populations.

The Ministry of Tourism will, in 2020, continue to carry out its mandate to develop and enhance the Nevis tourism product in a sustainable manner which protects our fragile environment, preserves our rich and varied culture and ensures that Nevisians benefit financially.

Tourism is the economic backbone of our economy here in Nevis.

As all or most of us are aware, the Four Seasons Resort was temporarily closed since June 2019 to undergo a multi-million dollar upgrade.
Every step was taken to minimize impact that this closure would have had on the hundreds of workers – the NIA reached out to the banks to ensure that the homes and vehicles of FSRN employees were financially secure during the closure.

The NIA also provided a financial assistance package to assist affected workers defray back to school expenses.

We collaborated with the management and construction team at FSRN to ensure that the hotel was back up and running within the four months as promised.
We are delighted that the team at FSRN was able to deliver on this very important promise.

The final set of repairs will be completed in time to receive the anticipated influx of guests for the high season.

The outlook for the 2019 festive season is quite optimistic, with Four Seasons having several solidly booked periods during festive and well into the New Year.

Other properties have indicated predictions of very strong bookings for the upcoming season.
The NIA stands ready to support our valued stakeholders in the tourism industry to ensure the success of this industry which is the cornerstone of the Nevisian economy.

We have made some encouraging progress with the Pinneys Beach Recreational Park project which has been at a standstill for the past several years.

We are truly grateful for the assistance and support of our longtime friend and ally, the Republic of China (Taiwan).
A formal agreement has been signed between the Nevis Island Administration and Taiwan, in which Taiwan has committed $US 2.5 million for the construction of the park and the NIA will contribute $US 372,000 or approximately $1 million EC.

On July 14th 2019, we were privileged to have had the president of Taiwan, her Excellency Tsai Ingwen visit Nevis for the first time to witness and participate in the ground breaking ceremony of the Pinneys Beach Park.
Upon completion, the park will boast a visitor centre with a revolutionary turf covered roof design, a children’s playground area, half basketball court, elevated walkways, a picnic area, an open air ampitheatre and a large central area which will accommodate the hosting of large events such as the Culturama Food Fair.
During the preparatory phase of the park’s construction, arrangements will also be made with local sub- contractors as the NIA will ensure that Nevisians benefit from employment and transfer of technology as this long awaited project comes to fruition.

The Ministry also wishes to recognize Mr Vincent Lai, the Taiwanese consultant assigned to the project, who is a landscape engineer by profession.
Mr Lai is currently resident on Nevis and we must thank him for his efforts in creating the park design, model and for his role in overseeing the entire project.

Actual construction is projected to start in early 2020.

We recognize the importance of airlift to the destination and celebrate the return of Cape Air to Nevis as of November, 2019.
This airline, which has interline and codeshare connections with the major air carriers serving the federation has proven indispensable to our airlift situation in the past and we are delighted to be partnering with them again.

We are also currently negotiating terms and conditions to facilitate continued service into Nevis from WINAIR.

This airline has been a critical transport partner to Nevis, linking it to major carriers destined to Europe and North America.
187 10 - MINISTRY OF TOURISM We expect to see an uptick in cruise passenger arrivals this upcoming season.

Based on the information received so far, there are 64 expected calls with a capacity of 14,485 passengers.

By comparison, for last season, there were 62 scheduled calls at the start of the season with a capacity of 6,782 passengers.

Of these, we actually had 59 calls with just about 4,270 passengers.
The significant increase for this upcoming season is due to the fact that there will be some larger vessels carrying up to 1,254 passengers.

We are expecting the return of Windsurf with 4 calls (374 passengers) and Azamara with 1 call (781 passengers).

Additionally we are expecting inaugural calls from Crystal Serenity – 1 call (1,254 passengers) and Ritz Carlton – 2 calls (298 passengers).

We continue to receive calls from Seabourn, Club Med, Sea Dream, Star Flyers and others.
Nevis is proud to host the tenth biennial Caribbean Tourism Organisation HR Conference under the theme ‘Navigating the next phase with Caribbean Tourism – Talent and Technology, 2020 and Beyond’.

This will be the first CTO conference to be hosted by Nevis and we anticipate that hosting the event will bring much needed publicity to the destination.

The proposed date is May 20-22, 2020.


The designated host hotel is the Mount Nevis Hotel but delegates will also be staying at other properties such as Nisbet Plantation and Oualie Beach Resort.

The Ministry continues to put emphasis on community based tourism (CBT) as visitors of today are less inclined to be satisfied with a mere sun, sea and sand experience but are instead seeking out culturally authentic, engaging and memorable touristic experiences.
In 2019, we asked local historian and tourism consultant Leonard Stapleton to develop a module for the Bath Village community as well a follow up exercise to foster business startup and sustainability after the training.

To further diversify our tourism product offering in 2020, similar CBT modules for several other Nevisian communities will be prepared in 2020.

Our people are the most important part of our tourism product and as such we continue to prioritize capacity building and training.
We will ensure that our taxi drivers, tour guides, artisans and front line hospitality staff possess the necessary competencies that will make them competitive and efficient.

Capacity building begins with our tourism education efforts from primary school to sixth form – our efforts have not only been trend setting but have borne much fruit in ensuring that our stakeholders are provided with local labour that possesses the necessary competencies and skills required by a demanding tourism industry.
Very importantly, the Ministry will do all in its power to promote entrepreneurship and create a supportive environment for new tourism ventures and ideas which are put forward to diversify the Nevisian economy.

In 2019, we will continue to underscore the importance of our heritage tourism product as we continue to create and enhance memorable, educational and enjoyable experiences at Eden Browne, New River, the Nevisian Heritage Village and Bath Stream.
We are in the process of developing a welcome and interpretation centre at each site and will make certain enhancements that will be certain to attract both our land based and marine visitors.
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 the stakeholders who have and will continue to ensure that tourism continues to hold the pivotal position in the economy and that it is strengthened even further, thus providing resilient, sustainable and inclusive economic growth and development.

Mark Brantley Minister of Tourism 188 10 - MINISTRY OF TOURISM 1.2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The following represents the mission, goals and activities of the Ministry of Tourism for 2020.

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.

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.

2.4.1.5 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.

1 2 Limited resources – there is a dearth of available monies to fund the projects, hence wise spending and frugal decision-making will have to be hallmarks of operating during the year.
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.

3 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.
4 5 The escalation of gun related crimes is a cause for concern as the tranquil reputation of the destination is seriously threatened by the activities of a few misguided persons.

Airlift has been a perennial challenge for Nevis.

The high prices on tickets, due in most 192 10 - MINISTRY OF TOURISM part to taxation, reduces the attractiveness of our destination to some of our visitors.
The move by some cruise lines to acquire larger ships will negatively affect the cruise 6 sector as our facilities to accommodate such vessels are very limited.

It is so because the Nevis Island Administration fully embraces the theme of the Ministry of Education of “Education for all: Embracing Change, Securing the Future”.

Therefore, it should not be a surprise to anyone that so much effort has been put into education over the past year.

The Nevis Island Administration intends to do even more in 2020.

During the last year our local Test of Standards results for our primary schools were extremely encouraging.
The top students at the Nevis Academy, Violet O. J. Nicholls Primary, Joycelyn Liburd Primary, St Thomas’ Primary, Charlestown Primary and Elizabeth Pemberton Primary had average grades above 85%.

Caribbean Secondary Education Certificate (CSEC) and Caribbean Advanced Proficiency Examination (CAPE) results this year were also in line with the consistently good performance that our students produce year after year.
The government-operated secondary schools earned a combined pass rate of 84% while the Nevis Sixth Form raised its pass rate from 84% in 2018 to 89% in 2019.

This is a great encouragement to all.

With these results on record, the Nevis Island Administration remains resolute to further improve in our education system.

The Nevis Island Administration will do all that it can to ensure that the Ministry of Education fulfills its mandate to implement the 2017-2021-Education Sector Plan.
Professional Development will continue to be fundamental as we prepare our educators to efficiently serve the students.

Teachers began training in Differentiation through the Curriculum and Enhancement Review Process.

The Early Learners Programme (ELP) continues to provide opportunities for our teachers of Kindergarten to Grade 3 and has allowed for teachers to access a Certificate in Reading through the OECS.
At the Early Childhood level, teachers and caregivers were trained in First Aid and CPR and Best Practices in Early Childhood Centers.

Education Officials and Teachers also participated in the ECD Policy Writing Process.

TVET instructors at the secondary schools were exposed to additional training through the CDB - TVET Enhancement Project which aims to improve the quality of the technical and vocational courses which are offered to our students.
The Prospective Teachers Course and Induction Courses have both been updated to reflect the new thrusts of differentiation and student centered learning.

During the past summer period, all staff across the sector were trained in the first step to mastering the Art of Differentiation through a workshop series entitled “Know Your Students”.

Teachers and coaches learned about creating class and learning profiles and using the information on guide instruction.
The cooks under the School Meals Programme were also exposed to training, with the aim of improving the quality of their work.

They were guided through additional recipes.

Training is also ongoing for the various resource teachers.

A significant milestone attained was the creation of a Professional Development Team which seeks to further enhance the professional development opportunities and to inform planning.
The Ministry of Education continues to partner with UNESCO, UNICEF, OECS, USAID and CDB as we continue to make positive strides in professionalization the teaching force.

The Nevis Island Administration gives its absolute commitment to support all of these endeavors and partnerships.

During the upcoming year, all would be hearing a lot about the Ministry of Education's Enhanced Curriculum for St. Kitts and Nevis.
Currently, not all students in St Kitts and Nevis 200 11 - MINISTRY OF EDUCATION, LIBRARY SERVICES AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY have opportunities to realise their potential in school.

The goal of curriculum enhancement is to improve access, enhance quality and provide students with the knowledge and skills that will support their success in higher and continuing education and the world of work.
For the first time, a curriculum and assessment framework that speaks to the vision for an educated citizen in St Kitts and Nevis has been developed.

This is considered the "constitution" for the curriculum and has been developed after extensive consultation throughout the Federation and review of National and Regional policy and planning documents.
The enhanced curriculum will include: * Seven essential education competencies for an educated person in St Kitts and Nevis * Eight principles of learning that support the competencies * Nine principles of assessment to determine learning progress * Extensive goals related to inclusivity and * Promote integration across subjects and the use of examples from the context of St Kitts and Nevis.
The resulting curriculum from Early Childhood through to Post-Secondary Technical Vocational Education and Training will emerge from the Curriculum and Assessment Framework and will be based on International Standards.
There will be five core subject areas in primary and lower secondary: * Language Arts * Mathematics * Social Studies * Science * Health and Wellness Writing has commenced in these subject areas and will continue through 2020 in these and additional areas at the ECD, secondary and post-secondary TVET levels.

The Nevis Island Administration also applauds and supports the Nevis Public Library in its effort in keeping book reading an active and relevant pastime.
The Nevis Island Administration within 2020 will continue to ensure that the Library is still a good place to visit to read and do research.

The Nevis Public Library continues to provide every member of the Nevisian public with a range of services in aid of educational, professional, personal and cultural development.
Day to day services include photocopying, printing, computer usage, delivery of the daily Today in History Programme on Von Radio, free Wi-Fi service, bookbinding and reference services ( including local history files, local newspapers, Reserved Book Collection, Parent Resource Unit and dictionaries).

Books are available for borrowing in the Children and Adult sections.

In addition, weekly Storytime sessions are held with preschools on the island to foster an early love for books and reading.
The Library also serves as the official Education USA Advising Center for the island, giving current and accurate information about studying in United States of America.

The annual SAT Preparation class is one of the main advising activities.

One of the key variables in the Nevis Island Administration equation of efficiency in servicing its people is the Information Technology Department.
Therefore it is the Nevis Island Administration’s sound promise to do all that it can to provide the resources so that the Information Technology Department can continue its work in making sure the Nevis Island Administration is an efficient e-government.

Work in this regarded has started and will continue in 2020.
The Ministry’s partnership with the Ministry and Department of Sports, Nevis Cultural Development Foundation, the Ministry of Health and all partners, private and public will 201 11 - MINISTRY OF EDUCATION, LIBRARY SERVICES AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY continue in 2020.

It is through such partnerships that we see the holistic development of our students.
The Ministry of Education, Library Services and Information Technology thanks all of our partners who helped throughout the year to provide the best education we can offer our children.

May this alliance to continue through 2020.


............................ Mr Troy Liburd Junior Minister Ministry of Education 1.2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Ministry of Education, Library Services and Information and Technology will purposefully stride forward in 2020 to boost the general value of education that it provides for all of our people, from the Pre-school level to Adult Education.

We look ahead with optimistic anticipation to the continued roll-out of the new Education Sector Plan 2017 -2021.
In 2020, a number of plans, strategies, upgrades and training that are specifically geared to deliver a more advanced quality of education to all nationals and residents, will be mobilized.

Also in 2020 The Ministry will continue to welcome and increase the partnership between other government Ministries and Departments to provide an all-inclusive system of education for our students.
We specially look forward to continued partnership with the Sports Department to get our students involved in sporting tournaments such as football and cricket.

We also look forward to a resurgence of netball in primary schools.

We will as well, continue to work with the Nevis Cultural Development Foundation (NCDF) to enhance the development of our cultural art forms such as the masquerade, maypole dancing, clowns and cakewalk dancing.
The Ministry will in 2020 remain committed in making these opportunities available for our students, so that they can be well-rounded individuals.

In 2020 we will continue to promote the Education Sector Plan’s theme “Education for all: Embracing Change, Securing the Future.” The Ministry wishes to offer thanks and appreciation to all our partners locally, regionally and internationally for their continued support.
......................................... 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 2020.

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.
202 11 - MINISTRY OF EDUCATION, LIBRARY SERVICES AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY The document will serve as an essential planning tool and working guide for the operation for 2020 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 It is the Ministry of Education’s paramount objective to fulfil its mandate to implement the 2017-2021 Sector Plan (ESP).
Of particular focus for the Ministry of Education during the period 2019-2020 are activities which support the realization of the ESP policy goal two (2) which is to “Strengthen the quality and relevance of education at all levels to improve learning outcomes”.

One of the three programme areas identified under policy goal two is Professionalizing the Teaching Force.
This programme are consists of a number of initiatives including: - The establishment of a National Teaching Council - Moving from an in-service to a pre-service model of teaching education - Developing Professional Standards for the teaching profession - Structuring a career path for teachers - Establishing a continuous professional development framework - Developing monitoring and evaluation systems and procedures for the teaching force The first activity under professionalizing the teaching force focuses on the development of an overarching teacher policy framework to give direction to the identified initiatives.
Dr. Simone Doctors, a consultant engaged by UNESCO, will be working with the Ministry of Education to write an overarching Teacher Policy Framework for St. Kitts and Nevis.

It is also the Ministry’s objective to formulate an enhanced curriculum specific to St. Kitts and Nevis but with regional and international relevance.
This resulting curriculum from Early Childhood through to Post-Secondary Technical Vocational Education and Training will emerge from the Curriculum and Assessment Framework and will be based on International Standards.

There will be five core subject areas in primary and lower secondary: Language Arts, Mathematics, Social Studies, Science and Health and Wellness.
Writing has commenced in these subject areas and will continue through 2020 in these and additional areas at the ECD, secondary and post-secondary TVET levels.

The curriculum will place an emphasis on knowing individual students so that teachers might enable chart individual progress and target teaching.

This has been proven to be key to learning success.
Using Universal Design for Learning, the curriculum will consider all learners and provide approaches to learning that represent the diversity of students in St. Kitts and Nevis.

The curriculum will emphasize an assets-based approach to education where learning builds on students’ prior knowledge and will encourage more student discussion as this is one of the most powerful tools to literacy development.

The curriculum will encourage the use of technology as pedagogically appropriate.
Technology will also be used to access the wealth of learning resources that are available through the internet.

The effective use of technology coupled with extensive curriculum materials obtained from a variety of sources will reduce dependence on traditional textbooks.
203 11 - MINISTRY OF EDUCATION, LIBRARY SERVICES AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY The structure of the education system will have different education pathways and wider selection of courses to reflect different students’ interests with the hope of having offerings that will be attractive to more students and result in increased retention.
Students will receive a secondary school diploma when they have met the criteria for graduation, which had been stabled as a set of core and elective courses to be completed in Forms three to five (3-5).

While these courses will also prepare students to take existing regional examinations, the scope of such courses will extend beyond what is contained on existing CXC generated syllabi in order to meet the seven essential competencies outlined in the Curriculum and Assessment Framework.
Accompanying the Curriculum and Assessment Framework is a quality Teaching Learning and Leadership Framework which is designed to describe how equity, engagement, excellence and empowerment might be achieved in the education system of St. Kitts and Nevis.

This Framework will inform education priorities to provide the best possible educational environment in the Federation.

We will strive to improve standards through good customer service and high productivity of its public servants.

Our Permanent Secretaries and Heads of Department will be encouraged to set the tone for greater professionalism within the public service.
In 2020 more positions will be advertised as this will provide opportunities for a wider cross section of the public service and the island of Nevis on a whole.

The Nevis Island Administration will continue to provide opportunities for local training at all levels of the public service.

This is to ensure that we strengthen our public service and the general public is served with more efficiency and professionalism.

ENGINEERING - Geographical Information, Pump Technician, Project Management, Electrical, Civil, Mechanical and Surveying HEALTH- Environmental Health, Veterinary Services, Nursing, Nutritionist, Biomedical Technology, Occupational Therapist, Audiology and Radiography.

TECHNOLOGY- Computer Science, Information Technology, Graphic Design.

The Ministry of Human Resources will aggressively pursue scholarships from donor countries and agencies.
This is to provide a pool of opportunities for our young people to further their studies.

These training opportunities will provide the foundation for the development of the island and ensure that a qualified workforce is in place to provide quality service.
I am therefore grateful to my team at the Ministry of Human Resources who will continue to ensure that the human resource of the Nevis Island administration is vibrant, qualified and productive thus serving the general public in a most efficient manner.

............................................... Honourable Mark Brantley Minister for Human Resources 1.2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Ministry intends to ensure that public servants are more cognizant of the various rules and regulations governing them.

...................................... Mr. 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 2020.

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 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 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 the 2020 and beyond and will act as an evaluation tool to assess performance.
.................................................. Mr. Edson Elliott Permanent Secretary Ministry of Human Resources 2.4.1.4 MAIN ACTIVITIES CONTRIBUTING TO THE PORTFOLIO'S ANNUAL OBJECTIVES The Ministry of Human Resources completed a number of visits to school employees within the Department of Education and the Ministry of Agriculture in 2019.

The public servants in attendance were given the opportunity to interact with the Permanent Secretary and numerous questions were entertained.
The discussions were enlightening and public servants were better informed.

As a result, the Ministry intends to reach out to other Ministries and Departments to 230 12 - MINISTRY OF HUMAN RESOURCES provide a similar forum for education.

The Ministry will continue to provide financial assistance to nationals pursuing studies at regional and international institutions.

A greater effort will be made to encourage recipients to return home to contribute the development of the island.
Firmer measures will be taken to deal with defaulters on their bond agreement.

The sureties will be held accountable when recipients of financial assistance default on their bond agreement.

The Orientation sessions for our recruits will allow for some formal sessions to explain their rules of engagement, rights, responsibility and benefits.

The Ministry is of the view that follow up sessions will be organised by the Heads of Department.
An awards ceremony will serve as an incentive to generate high standards and increased productivity in the public service.

Public servants will be encouraged to strive for esteemed positions.

Attractive prizes will be awarded to successful officers thus lifting their self-esteem and resulting in a more efficient public service.

An audit of all public servant will be conducted so as to capture the public servants who are not presently insured with the Nevis Island Administration insurance plan.
The insurance plan does provide invaluable benefits but too many of our public servants are either not insured or not accessing the benefits.

As a result, a greater effort will be made to identify such officers and encouraged them to register or access health care.

The training officer will continue to provide training across the public service.
This localised training will help to strengthen departments through interactive sessions and the development of proper structures within Departments and Ministries.

2.4.1.5 MAIN CHALLENGES TO ACHIEVE PORTFOLIO'S ANNUAL OBJECTIVES to improving In relation level of customer service, officers continually developing through training, is paramount.
However, there are a few challenges level of service through the overall effectiveness of accomplishing a high the efficiency of our human resource and our impeding training.

local The Nevis Island Administration (NIA) is one of the largest employers on the Island.

The principal challenge in training such an enormous labour force is the small training team to accomplish our goals.

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

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

to support each department needs.

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

vi.

The timely publication of scholarships opportunities is a challenge as residents 231 12 - MINISTRY OF HUMAN RESOURCES normally receive such information too late and in some cases after the deadline.
As a result, in 2020 the Ministry will have a Human Resource Coordinator who will deal exclusively with scholarship matters.

We intend to identify more scholarships from donor agencies and provide assistance with application and timely submission.

This will allow the Training Officer more time to focus on training within the public service thus reducing our reliance on external training professionals who come at a high cost to government.
Training equipment is also essential; it is an aspect that will need continuous improvement over the upcoming years.

The nature of equipment is that there will need to be constant purchases that allow Human Resources to maintain high levels of training.

We have acquired a LCD projector and two (2) laptop computers and we intend to acquire other supporting equipment on an annual basis.

All of our plans and programmes therefore must be tailored through a holistic and harmonized approach which will result in long term economic growth and development.

Therefore, as the Nevis Island Administration continues its development thrust through investment in human and social capital as well as improvements in our infrastructure, my Ministry will continue to be at the forefront of this agenda.
My Ministry will continue to provide the environment that will lead to the building of resilience at the ministry, department and individual levels.

Sports is an important aspect of the overall development of our young people and we have seen increased interest in all sporting disciplines on the island.

In an effort to ensure the safety and comfort of all who utilise the sporting facilities on the island, my Ministry will continue the necessary improvements of these facilities.
Such upgrades will include resurfacing of hard courts, the addition of bathroom facilities and lighting of playing fields.

My Ministry is aware that much work still needs to be done in the area of capacity building for all the sporting associations on the island.

We are committed to working with all sporting associations in an effort to strengthen them and to make them more effective and efficient in carrying out their mandate.
My Ministry will continue to provide the necessary training to have all associations fully functional with vibrant executives.

The youth of our island must at all times be an integral part of any harmonized approach to economic growth.

Our youth are the future of the nation and therefore must form part of the plans and programmes to move the country forward.
My Ministry will continue to initiate programmes where the youth can be engaged in activities that are beneficial and would impact their lives positively.

Apart from being the beneficiaries of the improvements to the sporting facilities on the island, my Ministry will continue to develop programmes that are sensitive to their needs.
Social work is a very significant aspect of the mandate of my Ministry and during the ensuing year the plans and programmes will build heavily on the foundation that has already been established in this very important area.

Huge strides have been made in improving the standard of living for the less fortunate in society and more efforts will be made to ensure that our people become more resilient through the involvement in meaningful initiatives.
My Ministry has invested in a physical plant for vocational training and we continue to target at risk youth to guide them away from anti-social behaviour.

My Ministry will continue to work with single mothers to improve their standard of living and to ensure they become more independent.
My Ministry is aware of the importance of bringing communities together and will therefore be at the forefront of improving community-based facilities, developing programmes to be executed in such facilities and providing the necessary support for such programmes.

In all of our programmes at my Ministry our aim is to continue to embrace the sustainable development goals.
Nevis’s Culturama has been dubbed the Caribbean’s greatest summer lime and this administration has been doing its utmost to ensure that the festival remains true to that reputation.

Vast improvements were made to both the Cultural Complex and the Cultural Village in 2019 and more work is expected at both venues as we continue to enhance the experience of patrons.
The importance of Culture cannot be under estimated and much effort will be made to ensure that Nevisians and residents become more involved in the preservation 238 13 - MINISTRY OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT,YOUTH, SPORTS, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND CULTURE of our culture.

With the construction of a cultural centre in St George, Gingerland, my Ministry is not only enhancing the infrastructure to grow our culture but providing the opportunity for its sustainability as well.
With the new facility in St George, more scope will be provided for cultural art forms to be taught to a wider cross section of the community and for it to be done year-round.

The Department of Information has provided a very crucial service to the government in providing timely information on the plans and programmes being executed by the various ministries.

My Ministry will ensure that the department continues to provide quality service to all government ministries and departments.
In building resilience within the public service, the Department of Information must at all times ensure that the necessary information is being provided to the necessary stakeholders in a timely manner.

The Department of Information has increased its coverage and is now available via numerous social media sites.

A number of the programmes including the nightly Newscast is available online.
My Ministry will provide all of the financial and technical support necessary to have seamless operation of that very critical department.

All of the programmes and initiatives of my Ministry will be people centred and would be carefully executed to embrace and attain the United Nations sustainable development goals as we touch the lives of all and leave no one behind.
The Ministry of Culture, Youth, Sports, Community Development, Telecommunications and Information will during the ensuing year maintain a harmonized approach to economic growth and development as we improve infrastructure and simultaneously build resilience.

Eric Evelyn Minister of Ministry of Social Development 1.2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Ministry of Social Development reaffirms its unwavering commitment to the social development of the people of Nevis.
The resilience of a country is in no least measure dependent on the resilience of its people.

The initiatives of the various departments in the Ministry of Social Development will include addressing issues in vulnerability in the family, ensuring our youths are adequately prepared for the world of work and life and our seniors can successfully enjoy the fruits of their labor in their older years.
The Sustainable Development Unit continues to coordinate and act as the focal point for the realization of the United Nations 2030 sustainable development agenda, with specific reference to the sustainable development goals (SDG’s).

Achieving the SDG’s requires the partnership of governments , private sector, civil society and citizens alike to make sure we leave a better planet for future generation.
In light of this, the Unit continues in partnership with relevant stakeholders to implement activities and programmes with the SDG’s in mind, while at the same time monitoring progress made in achieving the universal targets by way of the indicators, which are used as bench marks for each SDG.

In collaboration with the Education Department the Unit will introduce a United Nations Sustainable Development Goals – GO GOALS game initiative in the primary schools and the 1st formers of the secondary schools.
The aim of this initiative is to help people especially children understand their role in the future of the planet as individuals, team players and most importantly, as responsible global citizens.

This initiative involves the creation of a “Go Goals” game for children ages 8-13.

It is designed 239 13 - MINISTRY OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT,YOUTH, SPORTS, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND CULTURE to be informative, fun and engaging, while at the same time motivating the children to actively pursue the SDG’s.

This is 1.28 percent above the projection of 2019 which was $137.78 million and less than 1 percent above that of the actual collection in 2018.

In 2020, Taxes on Profits and Taxes on Domestic Goods and Services are expected to see incremental increases totalling $19.6 million and $35.89 million respective.

Stamp Duties and Value Added Tax at the Inland Revenue Department for that year are expected to amass totals of $11.50 million and $18.50 million.
Taxes on International Trade is expected to be $47.19 million in 2020.

This is against an actual collection of $45.80 million in 2018 and an expectation of $44.35 million in 2019.

This category of revenue consists of the collection of the Value Added Tax, Import Duties and Customs Service Charge at the Customs Department.

The projection for the Value Added tax is $16.65 million in 2020 while Import Duties and Customs Service Charge collections are respectively set at $12.86 million and $9.45 million.
It is anticipated that Non Tax Revenue will decline in the 2020 period predominantly due to an expected down turn in the international financial services sector.

The projection for Non Tax Revenue is thus $33.26 million in 2020 compared to the $35.32 million projected in 2019 and $36.17 million collected in 2018.
