 again provided with the opportunity to present the 2016 Budget Estimates outlining the Plans and Priorities of the Nevis Island Administration for the medium term of 2016 – 2018.
Indeed, it is an honour and privilege for which I give thanks to God and to you the people of Nevis.

The Budget Estimates are compiled using performance based budgeting in order to underscore the Plans and Priorities of the various Ministries and Departments.

These Plans and Priorities are intended to secure a resilient economy with an emphasis on expanding equitable and sustainable human and physical capacity.
The budget secures economic resilience through business friendly policies such as: the expansion of start up financing and training to small and medium sized enterprises, a neutral tax environment and improvement in the tax administration systems at the Customs and Inland Revenue Departments.

It envisage increased investment in Agriculture through the expansion of the Abattoir and Veterinary Clinic.
The Budget harnesses the human capacity through employment, training and investment in social programmes such as the expansion of the Youth Empowerment and Exchange Programme.

Furthermore, investment in Health is prioritized through the long awaited improvement to the Alexandra Hospital and other Health facilities which is expected to foster positive outcomes in our human development capacity.
The budget also supports infrastructural development in the construction of a Social Development Complex, the continued road rehabilitation project at Hanley’s Road and Brown Hill and the improvement to water security through the CDB Water Enhancement Programme.

I am hopeful that these initiatives will create the impetus for long run economic resilience with our people at the forefront of national development.

.

Our primary goal for 2016 will be to Audit the Final Accounts of the Nevis Island Administration for the year 2012, 2013, 2014 as prepared by the Treasury using the Nevis Accounting Standard I.P.S.A.S - International Public Sector Accounting Standard.

In 2016 greater emphasis will be placed on risk based methodology of Auditing which is basically determining by risk ranking the Ministries and Departments with the highest risk for fraud and Auditing them.
In other words, directing resources in accordance with priorities so that the greatest risks receive the highest attention.

In the year ahead, we will also conduct a payroll audit of one of the Government Ministries as best practice dictates that a payroll audit be done annually.

The office will look to further develop and strengthen our capacity with a focus on training our officers locally, regionally and internationally as the opportunities arise.

The Department is also committed to its role of ensuring the legislative framework is in place as one of the prerequisite platforms for the development of our small nation state.

Thus, new legislation will be implemented and existing legislation amended to further enhance the overall legislative framework.

In particular, the planning laws are in need of reform and this area will receive priority in the upcoming year.
We will also work to continue to strengthen the legislative framework that governs the Financial Services Sector particularly with the advent of Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA), and the implementation of the Common Reporting Standards (CRS).

Moreover, the Department is expected to complete and enact a New Ordinance: The Planned Community Ordinance.

This Ordinance will provide for the creation, development and operation of one or more planned communities in Nevis.
Invariably, the conceptualization of the operation of the community is similar to that of condominiums.

This can have a tremendous impact on the economy as it creates further diversification and helps to create new employment and investment opportunities.
The main objectives of the proposed legislation are: To facilitate the creation, development and operation of one or more planned communities in Nevis; To provide a mechanism for the registration of title to a parcel of land intended for subdivision and development in a planned community; To provide for the regulation of rights and obligations of the owners of property within the planned community.
The Department will embark on an initiative to increase the human capacity of staff by providing training in critical areas including Anti Money Laundering the Counter Financing of Terrorism, Public Law, Public Sector Management, Information Technology and Research.
Our values of integrity and honesty will continue to guide us in the 2016 period, and every effort will be made to ensure the Department is professional, truthful and straightforward in its dealings with the general public and other governmental organizations.

We welcome the opportunity to continue our cordial and collaborative working relationship with all our stakeholders as we endeavour to work in the best interest of the Nevisian population.

The Premier’s Ministry intends to materialize these central commitments through underscoring several essential sectors of the society.

Special emphasis would be placed on the awareness and preparedness of our people, the maintenance of a judiciary that is fair, balanced and impartial, the dependability of public security and safety and the advancement of close relations with regional and international associates.
The Nevis Disaster and Management Department (NDMD), through its public relation initiatives, pledges that the entire island would have some awareness of its comprehensive disaster plan.

The NDMD would also place high on its agenda, the continuation of its insistent campaign for disaster preparedness.
Additionally, the NDMD will continue to collaborate with regional and international agencies to execute simulated emergency exercises and training workshops to improve the knowledge of the NDMD officers that would in the end improve on the disaster readiness for the entire island.

Public safety and security is undoubtedly a most critical component of the Nevis Island Administration’s agenda.

This is because the people’s livelihood depends so crucially on it.
The Police and ARMY are guaranteed the Government’s full support in carrying out their duties of service to and protection of the people.

The Government will focus on more training for police officers, which would help them to be more efficient at maintaining law and order.

The improved surveillance through the technology of Closed Circuit Televisions and other investments in modern crime solving equipment and techniques will be continued so that further reduction in crime can be realized.
Our Judicial System must be perceived by the public to be fair, balanced and impartial.

Therefore, the Registrar and Magistrate, will endeavour to maintain the integrity, and reliability of our judiciary, so that in the adjudicating of matters, just decisions are arrived at.

The Department of Labour continues to take its role seriously in mending fences and building bridges in employer/employee relationships.
The Department has been effective in carrying out its other responsibilities to employer and employees and has been very efficient in providing the Government with up-to-date data of what is trending with regard to employment on the island.

Government continues to provide the necessary support to the Labour Department to keep it effective and efficient.

It is the assurance of the Nevis Island Administration to remain in good working relationship with our partners in the private and public sectors.
It is the vision of the Government that this alliance will contribute to the upward trajectory of the economy of Nevis.

In providing a safe, secure and stable Nevis, the government sees that as the magnet that would attract both local and foreign investment.

Therefore, the NIA will continue to work assiduously to ensure those conditions, for nationals and non- nationals alike.

Gratitude is extended to all who contributed to this budget.
Special commendations must go out to all Permanent Secretaries and Heads of Departments for their informed advice, guidance and assistance in the preparation of this document.

We will continue to be efficient in the Passport and Work Permit Units, and Professional officers will confirm to be a cut above the extraordinary.
The High Court Registry and Magistrate Court will confirm to be independent and just.

The Regulation and Supervision Department has over the course of this year undertaken a number of initiatives to address the dynamism of the industry, thus improving the reputation of the jurisdiction.

In order to adhere to international conditions and provide globally competitive products, the Department has implemented legislations such as the Foreign Account Tax Compliance Act (FATCA).
The readiness for the implementation of this Act is in an advanced stage with the signing of the Inter- Governmental Agreement to facilitate information exchange between St. Kitts/Nevis and the United States of America.

The International Banking Regulation is another piece of legislation that was introduced this year.
There is the appointment of a Regulator for International Banking in place and the Administration is committed to attracting highly reputable international banking services that will effectively augment our international services sector.
In the coming year, the Department working in collaboration with the Legal Department is expected to finalize legislation that improves the oversight of the operations of Registered Agents and to consolidate the various pieces of legislations into one document for ease of reference by stakeholders.

Moreover, the Department is making significant strides in ensuring the adherence to changes in the international regulatory environment.
The 2016 period should witness the formalization of the Nevis Branch of the Financial Regulatory Commission and increased training in areas of anti-money laundering, risk base supervision and other financial intelligence.

The Investment Promotion Agency or Development and Marketing Department over the coming period will intensify its efforts in the marketing of international business corporations, trusts and captive insurance promoting them as the niche products for the island.
Other activities of the Department will be geared towards creating a local appreciation for the financial services industry through consultation and education.

This along with the financial assistance is intended to promote the economic resilience the Administration seeks, and improve the profitability of small businesses.
In supporting public financial management and fiscal sustainability the Ministry of Finance has taken the lead in implementing procedures that improve both the preparation and execution of the budget.

Consultation with key stakeholders has been a vital exercise that formed part of the initial budget process.

This include the consultation on the economy, dialoguing with private sector partners.
It also involves an extensive dialogue with Heads of Departments and Permanent Secretaries in an effort to effectively communicate the goals of the Ministry of Finance as the central ministry and the line Ministries.

The Customs Department as one of the leading tax collection Departments support fiscal sustainability 67 06 - MINISTRY OF FINANCE, STATISTICS & ECONOMIC PLANNING through the positioning of itself as the hallmark of modern customs operation in the OECS.
The launching of (Automated System for Customs Data) ASYCUDA World by the Department in August 2015, makes it one of the first Customs Department in the sub-region to do so.

This step is expected to further strengthen the Department in the execution of its operations and help it to realize its critical objective of trade facilitation, border control and revenue generation.

Staff has also undertaken extensive training.


While the post evaluation of the system’s implementation pinpoints some challenges, the Department in collaboration with its counterpart in St. Kitts is working to ensure they are resolved and the benefits of the system are realized in the 2016 period and beyond.

This will positively impact trade facilitation in the future by improving business operations and the overall business climate for both domestic and international businesses and individuals.

106 07 - MINISTRY OF COMMUNICATIONS, WORKS, PUBLIC UTILITIES, POSTS, PHYSICAL PLANNING, NATURAL RESOURCES & ENVIRONMENT 1.1 MINISTER'S MESSAGE It is my understanding that the budget theme for fiscal year 2016 is focusing on “Framing the New Economy: Inspiring human progress and economic resilience”.
This theme is most appropriate as the Ministry has been working with its Departments namely Public Works Department (PWD), the Nevis Water Department (NWD), the Department of Physical Planning (DPP), and the Nevis Post Office (NPO) to empower our people and bring some level of resilience in the economy.
Stemming from the successes of the previous year the Nevis Island Administration (NIA) again showed its confidence in the Public Works Department by giving it the task of implementing a major road project at Hanley’s Road.

This is progressing nicely and it is the intention of the PWD to finish this project within budget.
Similarly significant progress was made in the implementation of the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB)/NIA funded Nevis Water Supply Enhancement Project which the NWD has the task of executing.

These two major projects follow the theme as we are utilizing local labourers, contractors, truckers and heavy equipment operators to execute the projects in many areas especially on the Hanley’s Road Rehabilitation Project.
Income is being circulated in the Nevis economy and local employment is being created thus helping to build economic resilience and empowering our people.

Legislative and regulatory improvements will continue with the DPP and a new project concerning the introduction of a land folio management system on Nevis will be implemented in 2016.

Furthermore, in order to be resilient the Nevis Postal Services has introduced US mail service along with the General Post Office in St. Kitts dubbed the NPO Speedpac.
This service was launched on Nevis during the month of October when we would normally observe world postal day and a month of activities.

This is anticipated to bring a new service to the general public by a reputable institution, increase government revenue and build resilience to the changing environment in the postal services sector.
We would look like to thank our local strategic partners; regional institutions such as the OECS, CARICOM, CDB, CARPHA, to name a few; and international partners such as the OAS, EU, and GIZ for their support over the past fiscal year.

We look forward for their continued collaboration as we chart the course towards people empowerment and economic resilience.
Finally we express sincere thanks to all persons who would have contributed in any way to our success, to all Heads of Departments, Managers, Directors and Staff members for their diligence and continued support.

Best wishes to all.

132 08 - MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE, LANDS, COOPERATIVES & FISHERIES 1.1 MINISTER'S MESSAGE With the demand for locally grown products steadily increasing on Nevis, the Ministry of Agriculture is renewing its commitment to ensuring that the Agriculture Sector keeps pace and will intensify efforts to supply that demand.

The sector has experienced significant strides over the past few years with increases both in primary as well as value added products.
During 2016, the Ministry will build on those successes and oversee the continued upward trend in the industry.

Improved technology is very high on the agenda of the Ministry of Agriculture as have been evidenced over the past two years.

As a consequence, the Department of Agriculture will continue to place considerable emphasis on the transfer of new and improved technology to the farming community.
Shade house technology or protected agriculture is currently being given a huge amount of attention as its potential for increased production and productivity is currently being validated at the Prospect Agricultural Station.

The Department of Agriculture has two shade houses under production and, this is taking place alongside green house production by one farmer on island who also has two under production.
The evidence is clear that both the quality and quantity of crops produced far exceed conventional production.

The Department will ensure that its two shade houses at Prospect are properly managed and these will serve as demonstration units for farmers as well as to assist in training individuals interested in adopting the technology.
The latest unit at Prospect is a collaborative effort of IICA, CARDI and the Ministry of Agriculture and that project includes a training component that our farmers, students, teachers and other stakeholders will benefit from.

The technology is already placing new and improved varieties of sweet pepper and tomato in hotels and on supermarket shelves and that will of course continue in 2016.
The Department of Agriculture reintroduced onion production in 2013/2014, and with the successes of the crop and the substantial demand for local onions, production has increased for 2015/2016.

The current crop will see the cultivation of thirteen (13) acres of onions, ten at Potworks and three at New River with an estimated output of at least one hundred and ten thousand (110,000) pounds.
The production from last season’s crop was able to ensure a considerable reduction of imported onions for several months of 2015.

I am delighted to report that the Ministry and Department of Agriculture continue to receive great reviews regarding the quality of our local onions.

The Department of Agriculture will continue to encourage more farmers to get involved in onion production.
With the increases in tomato and sweet pepper production from green house technology as well as onion production on Government Estates, the Department of Agriculture will continue to support the increase in other vegetables.

The Department will ensure that the Marketing Unit sources the required improved varieties and that the Small Farm Equipment Pool provides improved land preparation service to the farming community.
Training is also high priority for the Ministry therefore, farmers will continue to receive training opportunities in 2016, in collaboration with our partners IICA, CARDI and the Taiwanese Technical Mission.

Additionally, farmers now have the services of a Lab in St. Kitts, complements the Government of the Republic of China on Taiwan that can assist in testing soil as well as pesticide residues.
The Department of Agriculture’s Agro Processing Center will continue to increase the number of products made available to the Hospitality Sector as well as the general public.

Added emphasis will be placed on cassava and its byproducts.

As a result, cassava production is expected to dramatically increase at Indian Castle.

With an increase in the demand for crop byproducts also comes the increased demand for animal value added products.
This has necessitated additional infrastructural development at the Abattoir.

I am very pleased to report that work is currently ongoing at the Abattoir which will see the construction of a meat processing facility to complement the existing structure.

Products from the Abattoir are now on the menus of a number of our hotels on the island and that trend will only improve when the new wing is completed.
133 08 - MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE, LANDS, COOPERATIVES & FISHERIES Work is also in progress for the expansion of the Veterinary Clinic, a project that is being undertaken with the assistance of our partner, the Humane Society, ARK.

With an expected increase in the demand for health care of animals, the Ministry of Agriculture has seen it fit to provide additional space and state of the art equipment for our animal health officials.
The improved service at the Veterinary Clinic will ensure healthier animals reaching the Abattoir.

The Ministry and Department of Agriculture have been listening to the concerns of our farmers and we are aware of the problems being caused by the growing monkey and donkey population on the island.

I am happy to report that a control programme for monkeys is currently in place and will continue in 2016.

A control programme for the donkeys will also be instituted in 2016.
The Ministry continues to value the importance of the Fisheries subsector and therefore support for this very vital sector will always be forthcoming.

The Nevis Island Administration provided tangible support to a fishing tournament hosted by the Indian Castle Fisher folk Association earlier this year and is encouraging other fishermen on the island to establish similar organizations.
My Ministry is pleased with the support that has been forthcoming from the Japan International Cooperation Agency (JICA) and will therefore continue to work very closely with this institution to execute the Caribbean Fisheries Co- management (CARIFICO) project that will see more Fish Aggregating Devices (FADS) being deployed in our waters.
The Co-operative Department will continue efforts to encourage farmers and fishermen to formally organize themselves to be able to take advantage of the numerous benefits that can be derived from such organizations.

The Department will continue to provide training opportunities and technical assistance to the existing Co-operatives in an effort to strengthen these organizations and to promote the establishment of others.
It will also continue to provide strict monitoring and oversight of the groups to ensure that they comply with the Co-operative byelaws.

The Co-operative Department is currently overseeing a Global Environmental Faculty (GEF) project that will increase efficiency and capacity at the Newcastle Pottery and which could also inject new life into the Co-operative that normally manages the Pottery.
The Ministry and Department of Agriculture have seen tremendous benefits from the relationship that exists with the Allied Agencies.

We will continue to strengthen that partnerships with the Caribbean Agricultural Research and Development Institute (CARDI), the Inter American Institute for Co-operation on Agriculture (IICA), the Taiwanese Technical, the Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) and The University of the West Indies (UWI).
My Ministry will continue to empower our farmers to ensure they produce the quality and quantity of products being demanded by nationals, residents and visitors.

The Ministry of Agriculture will support all efforts to ensure that the drive towards Food Security is maintained and that development of the Agriculture Industry remains sustainable.
1.2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Ministry of Agriculture is comprised of three (3) Departments, Agriculture, Fisheries and Co- operatives and one Statutory Body, the Nevis Housing and Land Development Corporation.

The latter is administered exclusively by its own management team.

Efforts aimed at increasing local production will be intensified as the Ministry of Agriculture continues its outreach to farmers and all stakeholders in this important industry.
The Ministry of Agriculture highly values the tremendous benefits that have been gained from partnerships that have been forged with a number of Allied Agencies over the years.

As a result, the Ministry will maintain and strengthen the existing partnerships and seek to establish new ones.
The Ministry will therefore continue to collaborate with IICA, CARDI, FAO, UWI and Mission Taiwan to ensure that its staff, farmers and all stakeholders in agriculture sharpen their technical skills all in an 134 08 - MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE, LANDS, COOPERATIVES & FISHERIES effort to enhance production and productivity.

The Ministry will also strengthen its partnership with JICA as we endeavour to move the Fisheries subsector to another level.
The deployment of Fish Aggregating Devices (FADS) in our waters through the intervention of JICA has already resulted in increased catch for some of our fishers.

The Ministry will also ensure that fishers receive whatever support is necessary to enhance their trade.

The Ministry will continue efforts to strengthen existing Co-operatives and to vigorously promote the establishment of additional ones.
1.5 MAIN CHALLENGES TO ACHIEVE PORTFOLIO'S ANNUAL OBJECTIVES Heavy competition for available land for housing purposes making less land available for • agricultural purposes.

There continues to be an increase in cases of praedal larceny being experienced by both crop • and livestock farmers.

The population of monkeys is continuing to increase and as a result farmers, backyard gardeners • and householders are reporting heavy losses of fruits and vegetables through monkey damage.
• An increase in the donkey population is also a major cause for concern.

They are competing with small and large ruminants for available feed on pastures.

Additionally, they are causing severe overgrazing which will lead to erosion and have an overall negative effect on the environment.

Extended drought conditions as a result of climate change have devastating effects on both crop • and livestock farming.
Inconsistency of production of some farmers poses a serious challenge to the Department’s • marketing efforts.

The farmers groups on the island, including the umbrella Nevis Growers Co-operative are still not • strong and vibrant enough and farmers are not co-operating well enough with each other.
There is still a reluctance from farmers to access loan funds to further develop their farming • operations including venturing into shade house technology which has proven to be more productive both in terms of quality and quantity.

• With the huge demand for local meat and meat products, livestock farmers are generally not making any major strides in terms of improving on their management practices in an effort to improve production and productivity.
The prices of locally produced agricultural items are still too high and therefore it is still a • deterrent for consumers to purchase and consume more local products.

As such, in 2016, we commit to the implementation of health programmes and policies that will ensure positive health outcomes in the population.

Access to healthcare for all is a critical component of our health mandate.

In 2015, we recorded success with the expansion of health services for government employees offered through our health insurance provider.
In 2016, we hope to make greater strides in this area with an extension of health services to the vulnerable in our population through a National Health Insurance Plan.

An adequate complement of human resources in the right mix is also a critical component of healthcare access.

This access is particularly important for persons who are disabled.

In this regard, the Ministry of Health will increase its complement of rehabilitation therapy staff to facilitate community based rehabilitation services.
We will also reintroduce orthopedic surgery services at the Alexandra Hospital.

The Alexandra Hospital will also continue to benefit from advancement in health technology with continued work on the Hospital Information System, which will enter its second phase of development.

This project, which is a partnership with the Government of China on Taiwan, will introduce a more efficient process of patient registration, as well as that of prescription services.
Access to strategic information that will inform health policy and programmes will also be a priority in 2016.

Research initiatives with partners such as key tertiary institutions and other partners will focus on diabetes, hypertension and other non-communicable diseases which reflect the greatest burden of disease in the population.

The information garnered will inform initiatives geared towards prevention, care and treatment of NCDs.
Increased access to health screening services for HIV, sexually transmitted infections, pap smears and other diseases will also be a priority.

These prevention and early detection initiatives will contribute to a more healthy population thus ensuring greater economic productivity.

Infrastructural development will include institutional health expansion, and will allow for more efficient surgical and diagnostic services at the Alexandra Hospital.
Public health facilities will also benefit from expansion with the commencement of civil works at the Charlestown and Gingerland Health Centres.

The outlined activities which form part of Ministry of Health’s agenda for 2016 will contribute to the Ministry of Health’s mission which includes the enhancement of the health and social well-being of the people of Nevis.
Honourable Mark Brantley __________________ Minister of Health 1.2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Ministry of Health will continue to provide essential primary healthcare and institutional health services to the population in 2016.

In an effort to reduce the incidence of non-communicable diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes, hypertension and cancer in our population, the Ministry of Health will redouble its efforts in the promotion of healthy lifestyle choices, particularly in the area of diet and physical activity.
Initiatives in 2016 include increased healthy eating demonstrations including the “My Healthy Plate” initiative which will target 149 09 - MINISTRY OF HEALTH primary school aged children.
In addition to NCD prevention, the prevention and detection of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) will also be a priority with increased outreach activities that place a focus on screening for HIV/AIDS, hepatitis B, as well as the performance of pap smears, which can detect the human papilloma virus which can sometimes lead to cervical cancer.

Mental health promotion and advocacy will also be a priority with educational sessions established with schools at the primary and secondary level.
Strengthening of human resource capacity to respond to the needs of those with chronic and other illnesses will also be a priority.

As such rehabilitative therapy services will also be expanded to allow for community based rehabilitation that will target individuals who have been incapacitated due to stroke and unintentional injuries for example.
The area of orthopaedic surgery and institutional health nursing will also strengthen clinical care and treatment services at the Alexandra Hospital, with a return of health professionals in these areas.

Increased capacity in public health services to prevent the introduction of disease outbreaks in the population is also on the Ministry of Health’s agenda.
In the area of vector borne diseases, mapping of the “hotspots” through a Geographical Information System will ensure effective targeting of various communities for source reduction initiatives.

Vaccine preventable diseases such as hepatitis B will also be addressed through the implementation of the at birth dose vaccine to newborns.

Vaccination initiatives will also target the under-vaccinated and unvaccinated in our population.
Cognizant of the need for the availability of strategic information to drive policy and programmes, quarterly reports and newsletters will complement the annual statistical report.

Research efforts will also continue with our partners in the area of non-communicable diseases.
The Hospital Information System project will provide an electronic link between various Departments within the Alexandra Hospital, as well as Hospitals in St. Kitts, which will allow for increased access to patient information and enhanced quality of care.

In addition to the Hospital Information System, institutional health investment will also include an upgrade of the Operating Theatre, and commencement of works on a new Laboratory that will enhance diagnostic services at the Alexandra Hospital.

The Ministry has undertaken this critical function through a number of programmes and initiatives.

Harnessing the benefits of the tourism industry is important for the attainment of economic diversification, job creation and long run economic resilience.

The Ministry has adopted a strategic plan intended to further advance the sector.

This strategy includes embracing a sustainable approach to tourism development.
In collaboration with the Nevis Tourism Authority, the Ministry intends for Nevis to become a premier year round destination.

The promotional vehicles to attain this objective will be culinary, events and history.

The focus is on adapting to new trends in marketing, such as the use of social media in sporting the exquisite tourism product that the island offers.
This year renovation was done on the New River Estate, Nevis Heritage Village at Fothergills and the new site for the Artisan Village at Pinney’s Estate.

Our tourism product continues to gain international exposure with four (4) of our hotels being named in the top 40 for the entire Caribbean region by the Reader’s Choice Award.

Two of our hotels, the Montpelier Plantation and Beach and Nisbet Plantation Beach Club placed in the top ten (10) at third (3rd) and seventh (7th) respectively.
The Inaugural Travel Symposium on Romance which took place in October this year saw a group of thirty (30) professional in the travel trade exposed to the experience of Nevis as a wedding destination.

Nevis has been given the accolade as one of the most romantic destinations in the Caribbean.

This opens up tremendous opportunities for us to capitalize on this lucrative segment of the market.
The new Codeshare Agreement between JetBlue and Seaborne Airlines will improve the ease at which visitors to Nevis can travel using the San Juan Munoz Marin International Airport.

JetBlue is fast becoming the most significant airline travelling to the Caribbean from the United States.

It has flights originating from many US cities including Massachusetts, Washington and Illinois.

This augurs well for our tourism sector and the travelling public in general.
The Quality Assurance Programme continues unabated in the 2016 period with initiatives aimed at improving the standard of service provided by our tour operators and taxi drivers; a development of standards that will guide the operating procedures for the Beach Patrol Unit; and the strengthening of the restaurants, bars and other tourism accommodation minimum standards.

Education and awareness programmes continue to positively affect our tourism product.
These programmes have been successful in both the Primary and Secondary Schools while the participation in regional competitions are expected to continue in the New Year.
I therefore extend my profound gratitude to my team at the Ministry of Tourism, the Nevis Tourism Authority, the Hotel and Tourism Association and all stakeholders who have and will continue to ensure that tourism continues to hold the pivot position in the economy and that it is strengthened even further thus providing resilient, sustainable and inclusive economic growth and development.
Best regards Honourable Mark Brantley ___________________________ Minister of Tourism 173 10 - MINISTRY OF TOURISM 1.2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The following represents the mission, goals and activities of the Ministry of Tourism, Information and Culture for 2016.

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

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, culture and media through informed decisions 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 holistic way in a manner that reflects the historical, cultural and environmental heritage of Nevis and maintain a sense of traditional hospitality values.
The Department of Information aims to educate all residents about the progress, policies and procedures of the N.I.A, as well as the populace on activities and successes of the administration.

Through the use of information technology, they will continue to provide quality service to all in a timely and accurate manner.

1.3 MANAGEMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT I submit, for tabling in Parliament, the Annual Report on Plans and Priorities (RPP), for the Ministry of Tourism, Culture and Information.
To the best of my knowledge, the information: Accurately portray the Ministry’s mandate, priorities, strategies and planned results for 2016 - 2018.

Is comprehensive and accurate.

Is based on sound underlying departmental information and management systems.

I am satisfied as to the quality assurance process and procedures used for the RPP’s production.
The structure on which this document is based has been agreed by the Ministry of Finance and is the basis for accountability for the results achieved with the resources and authorities provided.

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

Some of these forces we have little control over, however every effort shall be made to mitigate their negative effects.

1.

Global Warming and the change in weather patterns continue to affect the region.
This coupled with very unpredictable hurricane seasons will eventually affect tourist arrivals to the island.

More recently we also have the issue of droughts which is negatively impacting an already scare resource, ‘fresh water’.

2.

The escalation of gun related crimes/ murders are of the guest concern as our image as a tranquil peaceful destination is under serious threat by the activities of a few misguided persons.

3.

Airlift has been a perennial for Nevis.


The high prices on tickets due in most part to taxation is a major 175 10 - MINISTRY OF TOURISM concern.

The absence of LIAT and Cape Air from this route has only serve to compound this problem.

4.

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.

5.
5.

Limited Resources - There is a dearth of available monies to fund the projects, hence wise spending and frugality will have to be hallmarks of operating during the year.

6.

Customer Service - Continuing training to providers in all areas service areas.

7.

Limited technical staff at the Communication Unit in the Ministry of Tourism.

8.

Department of Information: Shortage of trained staff in critical areas.

9.

The Administration continues to pay serious attention to the overall development of our people through a number of in-school and after-school programmes.

We have collaborated with local entities, regional bodies like CXC and international organisations such as United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) to mobilize some of these programmes.
Gingerland and Charlestown Secondary Schools received in June, donations from the Korean government equipment of substantial quality and value that would greatly enhance their Home Economics Programme.

Our intention is to continue all fruitful alliances that would benefit the education of our people.

Our full support continues to push the Child Friendly School initiative in our primary schools.
In a child friendly environment we are ensured that our children are encouraged and provided with the support they need to maximize their capacity for learning.

That is why we continue to encourage all schools to create a school culture that accentuates positive behaviours and provide classrooms that tolerate the learner and learning in mind.

We also continue to endorse In-School Quizzes, Inter-school Spelling Bees competitions, for example the Courts Reading Competitions.
These activities that engage the minds of our students can only help in sharpening their intellectual abilities so that we could continue to see the outstanding results our students get year after year in local and regional examinations.

Technical, Vocational and Educational Training (TVET) in school and out of school, is still one of the top priorities for the Ministry of Education.
Plans are still in existence for the extensive upgrade and refurbishment to our two Secondary Schools with the assistance from the Caribbean Development Bank.

This project will facilitate the teaching and development of the TVET programme to a wider cross-section of people, both in-school and out-of-school.

This would ensure that secondary school students and the wider community receive adequate career guidance in relation to TVET career opportunities.
Embedded in this project too is the Caribbean Vocational Qualification (CVQ) Program, which will see our people ending up with skills qualifications and documents to prove their training and abilities.

Such documented qualification would be accepted in our Caribbean region.

Additionally, it is still the Administration’s firm intention to equip all schools with functioning and adequate Science and Computer Laboratories, so that students can work and conduct research in conducive environments.
In today’s world where research and inter-connectivity are imperative, our schools should have those advantages as well.

I am indeed delighted to report, that work has commenced on the Cafeteria at the Joycelyn Liburd Primary School and this project will soon be completed.

It means therefore, the children of that school will soon have a School Meals Programme similar to other schools on the island.
I am also equally delighted to report that all of our students and teachers returned to refurbished schools in September for the new school year 2015 – 2016.

However, vandalism of school property continues to be a concern for us as it has spread now to the school buses.

Apart from the installation of Security Cameras and additional night-time lighting on school grounds, we are currently working on guidelines for students to follow while embarking, traveling and disembarking the school buses.
We want all to preserve the investment the government has made in the refurbished schools and all the school buses and refrain from vandalism.

Furthermore, we recently put in to service one new school bus to accommodate the transportation of our students, to and from school and on field trips.

The government intends to add a few more shortly.


The Library Services is improving in efficiency in relation to up-to-date research literature, leisure 187 11 - MINISTRY OF EDUCATION & LIBRARY SERVICES reading material, internet availability and special programmes and activities for children.

The Nevis Island Administration through its Public Library is committed to enhance all services provided to the general public.
I wish at this point to reiterate the Government’s firm commitment to provide the best possible education, in facilities, content and expertise to all our people.

We forge ahead in making this a reality with God’s blessings.
_______________ Hon Vance Amory Premier and Minister with responsibility for Education and Library Services 1.2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Ministry of Education and Library Services remains committed in ensuring that all students on the island of Nevis are properly educated and fully prepared for life after school.

We will vigorously continue to promote child friendly schools.

Our schools will be characterized by inclusion, health and protection for all children and involvement with families and communities.
We will continue to equip our schools with the necessary tools and equipment which will assist our teachers in applying their craft.

In an effort to impart quality education, we will ensure that most of our schools are fully staffed with trained teachers.

The Ministry is mindful that all of our students are not academically inclined.

In this regard, we will continue to promote the technical subjects as alternative for those who are proficient in these areas.
In 2016, the Ministry will endeavour to place greater emphasis on subjects such as civics and values to ensure that our students are educated holistically.

1.3 MANAGEMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT I submit, for tabling in Parliament, the annual Report on Plans and Priorities (RPP) for the Ministry of Education and Library Services.

The document to the best of my knowledge provides an accurate representation of the Ministry's plans and priorities for the 2016 budget.
It is consistent with the disclosure principles contained in the guidelines for preparing a Report on Plans and Priorities and is based on sound Department 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 view and mandate of the Ministry as a whole.
The document will serve as an essential planning tool and working guide for the operation for 2016 and beyond and will act as an evaluation tool to assess performance.
Mr Wakely Daniel ___________________ Permanent Secretary 188 11 - MINISTRY OF EDUCATION & LIBRARY SERVICES 1.4 MAIN ACTIVITIES CONTRIBUTING TO THE PORTFOLIO'S ANNUAL OBJECTIVES Every Learner Succeeds is the vision of the OECS Education Sector Strategy (OESS), and, in line with this vision, the Ministry of Education and Library Services seeks to provide holistic life long education for all that will enable learners of all ages to develop skills and competencies needed for success in life, at work, and in society.
The Ministry will focus on enhancing the quality of teaching and learning in Early Childhood and compulsory education by providing targeted training and technical support to Early Childhood Care providers as well as to classroom teachers.
Special emphasis will be placed on improving instructional and assessment methodologies, ensuring implementation of the Interim Curriculum, integrating ICT as a value added teaching-learning tool, facilitating experimentation in the sciences, and creating learner- centered, inclusive classrooms at all levels.
Relatedly, the Ministry will work to further entrench the Effective/ Child Friendly School Framework in the education system by focusing on improving school safety and broadening academic and behavioural student support services.

Ensuring that all schools have staff trained in CPR/First aid, and assisting schools in implementing positive behaviour support in schools will come into sharp focus.
A literacy intervention will also be piloted at the secondary level to broaden access to much needed literacy support systems for struggling students.

As strengthening school and system level management is a major goal of the Ministry, education officials and school leaders will be trained in electronic data management and effective management practices.

The necessary hardware and software to facilitate efficient electronic data management will also be provided to public schools.
Significant investment will also be placed on improving Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) and increasing participation in higher education to forge better linkages between education provision and national sustainable development efforts.
Civil works at the Charlestown Secondary School, Multi Purpose Centre, and Gingerland Secondary School, in addition to the procurement of industry-standard tools and equipment, will enable the implementation of the Caribbean Vocational Qualification (CVQ) program.

Additionally, the Multipurpose Centre will be transformed into a post- secondary training institution for adult learners after school hours, while continuing to serve secondary school students at the Charlestown Secondary School.
Efforts to improve the visibility of and enrolment at the UWI Open Campus will be pursued, as well as strategies to promote increased participation in the adult and continuing education offer organized through the Ministry.

The Ministry looks forward to implementing these activities with fidelity in order to attain the budget objectives set out for the 2016 fiscal year.

219 13 - MINISTRY OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT,YOUTH, SPORTS AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT 1.1 MINISTER'S MESSAGE The Ministry of Social Development has pledged to provide social safety nets and social protection to all persons, in particular the most impoverished and vulnerable members of the population.

Its social protection strategy is geared towards providing clients with the requisite knowledge, skills and values for them to become more resilient, socially and economically.
It is therefore more than providing funds for social assistance.

It is about building the capacity of clients to make a greater contribution to self- development, family life and national development.

The most important resources of any country are its people.

Once our people are well educated, trained and possess proper work ethic and sound character, they will deliver services with a greater degree of competence and efficiency.
Ongoing training and development of our human resources coupled with succession planning will therefore result in sustainable human development, a fundamental goal of our social development initiatives.

Staff training, whether on-the-job or off-the-job, is implemented and encouraged by the Ministry of Social Development.

Training is not just for the sake of training but for there to be deliverables and an overall positive impact on society.
Our philosophy of training is that it should be continuous and become part of every Supervisor’s psyche since it is critical that our employees be encouraged to strive for creativity and continuous improvement.

As such, the Ministry continues to expose its employees to training programmes in order to sharpen or simply refresh their knowledge and skills.
For example, there is currently a three-month course in Supervisory Management organized and delivered by the University of the West Indies (UWI) Open Campus in Nevis.

It is being attended by Directors, Coordinators, Supervisors and others who work within the Ministry.

Where service delivery to our clients is concerned, the Ministry of Social Development is keen to put in place (where they do not already exist) standards and protocols for improving quality.
These must be seen as right, fair and generally accepted procedures for providing social and community services.

Adopting such protocols is part of the Ministry’s quest to have best practices.

Towards this end, it is committed to contracting the services of qualified and reputable Consultants at an economical cost, to put appropriate standards, protocols and systems in place for efficient performance.
The social landscape is beset with many risks and vulnerabilities, but the Ministry of Social Development is not daunted by the challenges.

There are a myriad of programmes planned and implemented by the Ministry to inspire human progress and resilience.

These programmes target every major demographic within the population including children, the youth, middle-aged persons and seniors.
In closing, the Ministry of Social Development et al places premium value on the training and development of our people – both employees and clients alike.

It envisions a workplace within the Ministry where every employee is trained, qualified and certified for each position.

In so doing, it seeks to have suitable and well-fitted pegs in each hole.

Beyond that, it seeks to have a performance-based workforce, and to create greater awareness of its social policy initiatives.

Best Regards.
Best Regards.

__________________________ Hazel Brandy-Williams (Hon) Minister Ministry of Social Development, Youth, Sports Community Development and Basic Needs Trust Fund (BNTF) 220 13 - MINISTRY OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT,YOUTH, SPORTS AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT 1.2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Ministry of Social Development is committed to improving first and foremost, the welfare of the poorest and most vulnerable members of society.
The current social protection strategy where social assistance is tied to training in job and life skills will enable families to break the cycle of generational poverty and enhance economic resilience.

At the Social Services Department, the Restore, Inspire, Secure and Empower (RISE) pilot programme is expected to culminate in October 2016, and be replaced with a scaled-up version targeting more families.
The RISE, a major component of the current social protection strategy, is enabling clients to shake off the shackle of the dependency syndrome for the new paradigm of independence.

The Household Beneficiary Registry, another component of the current social protection strategy, is expected to be established next year with at least three officers including a Computer Specialist.
In the Senior Citizens Services Division of the Social Services Department, our seniors will continue to benefit from the Subsidized Utility Services Programme for water and electricity.

The recently launched Subsidized Public Service Transportation Initiative for seniors is expected to go through some modification during 2016 in order to improve operational efficiency and to facilitate expansion.
The Gender Affairs Division is expected to re-introduce to participating institutions, its highly acclaimed Gender Issues Workplace Initiative but this time with a new dimension requiring organizational members who previously participated as focal points to engage in knowledge sharing with fellow employees.

In addition, a new programme entitled Retirement Planning Seminar is expected to run for at least six months.
It will target employees from both the private and public sector who have at least 15 (fifteen) years of employment or have reached midpoint in their current careers.

The Family Services Division will continue to empower families to shoulder their responsibilities.

The assistance provided will include but not limited to cash transfers, counselling, satisfying basic human needs, and education.

Child protection will form a major aspect of the work of our social workers.
As such, there will be much focus on foster parenting and parent training.

The Probation Unit at this Division plans to enhance and expand its services to at-risk youth with the goal of reducing youth crime and delinquency.

Its launch of its Yes To Success (YTS) diversion programme for our vulnerable youth is an intervention designed to provide moral training, to provide knowledge and skills, and to provide opportunities for internships.
Department Community Development will focus primarily on training in Character Building in order to inculcate and clarify values, and offer skills training in Culinary Arts, Sewing and Small-scale Agriculture.

There will also be a reformed Homework Assistance programme for elementary and secondary school children.

A Music Programme will be started in guitar and piano, and will mostly target boys in order to renew interest in string band music which is considered as part of the indigenous culture of Nevis.
In addition, there are plans to revive the Old Time Tea Meeting, a variety concert with tea and food being served.

Also, as a means of keeping the culture alive, the event showcasing our traditional Christmas sports will continue.

The Basic Needs Trust Fund (BNTF) Office will implement and complete all sub-projects identified by stakeholders and approved by the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB), under the BNTF seven (7) and eight (8) cycles.

The aim is to reduce poverty and vulnerabilities.


The Department of Youth and Sport will continue to provide opportunities for increased participation in youth affairs and sports.

Building on ongoing programmes, the Youth Division will restructure programming in a way that would provide an umbrella framework for programmes called The Impact Initiative.

These will be categorized as follows: The Empowering Young Entrepreneurs (EYE) programme is expected to eventually come on stream.
It seeks to inspire young entrepreneurs, develop job skills and create employment opportunities in order to 221 13 - MINISTRY OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT,YOUTH, SPORTS AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT reduce youth vulnerability and add value to the economy.

In sports, significant investment will continue in football, cricket, track and field, basketball and drag racing.
The Sports Health and Wellness (SHAW) Unit is expected to play increasing role in providing massage therapy, injury prevention and injury treatment consulting and related services to our athletes.

Several sporting facilities have already been identified for upgrade and maintenance.

Finally, the Ministry of Social Development will engage in programmes to give practical meaning and value to the fitting and timely theme “Inspiring Human Progress and Economic Resilience”.
In so doing, it must of necessity give priority to the training and development of our human resources – employees and clients alike.

The People Employment Programme (PEP) will be expected to play an expanded role by employing more unemployed youth so as to assist in the acquiring and development of job skills.

The Ministry will also seek to create greater awareness of its contribution to human development.
Toward this end, its Communications Unit and Sports Museum are being better equipped to assist with this effort.

1.3 MANAGEMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT I submit, for tabling in Parliament, the annual Report on Plans and Priorities (RPP) for the Ministry of Social Development for 2016.

The document to the best of my knowledge provides an accurate representation of the Ministry’s Plans and Priorities for the use of the resources.
It is consistent with the disclosure principles contained in the guidelines for preparing a Report on Plans and Priorities and is based on sound Ministry 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.

It is therefore a true reflection of the view and mandate of the Ministry of Social Development.
The document will serve as an essential planning tool and working guide for the operation of the office in 2016 and beyond and will act as an evaluation tool to assess performance.

Mr. Keith Glasgow _________________ Permanent Secretary 1.4 MAIN ACTIVITIES CONTRIBUTING TO THE PORTFOLIO'S ANNUAL OBJECTIVES The Ministry of Social Development continues to place the implementation of the National Social Protection Strategy as one of its main objectives.
In this regard, a number of initiatives will be implemented, expanded or modified.

These include the following: The establishment of the Household Beneficiary Registry in order to better target government assistance to families based on needs.

Modify the recently established Senior Citizens Public Service Transport Assistance Programme to improve operational efficiency.

The re-introduction of the Gender Issues Workplace Initiative aimed at knowledge sharing in the mechanisms to addressing such issues.
222 13 - MINISTRY OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT,YOUTH, SPORTS AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT The Department of Community Development will expand its training in character building, culinary arts, sewing and small scale agriculture.

Continue to provide the home assistance to Primary and Secondary School students.

1.5 MAIN CHALLENGES TO ACHIEVE PORTFOLIO'S ANNUAL OBJECTIVES The staff necessary to effectively implement the Social Protection Strategy is limited.
Moreover, staffing is needed in some specific sporting disciplines and there is a need for the increase in the number of male staff in Departments such as Social Services.

The change in the social landscape including the erosion of the community and the family places pressure on the Ministry to address declining values and civic responsibilities.

Vandalism of sporting facilities that creates high cost for maintenance and repair.
223 13 - MINISTRY OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT,YOUTH, SPORTS AND COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT Global Objectives To implement policies and procedures that provide a comprehensive range of integrate services to the society in the areas of social, youth, sport and community development to ensure the protection of the vulnerable groups and support self sufficiency and self reliance.
