 ESTIMATES Dear Citizens, I present the 2018 Budget Estimates with an anticipation that the future of our beloved island of Nevis in this fiscal year will prosper and grow.
The main intention of the Budget Estimates is to provide clear and transparent information on the operations of the Nevis Island Administration.

It aligns the priorities of the Administration with the resources necessary for their effective execution and is developed using activity and performance based budgeting.

The methodology is consistent with the medium term fiscal framework purposed to take a longer term view of the government operations.
The outline focuses on creating an avenue to leverage partnerships with the private sector and non-governmental organizations to improve outcomes in the areas of tourism, agriculture, financial services and energy.

Efforts to strengthen these partnerships will continue as my Administration strives to promote a well-functioning private sector.
In 2018, my Administration is expected to continue its policies to create conditions for economic growth, social advancement and environmental protection; promote human development and ensure a clear and transparent governance structure with effective public management oversight systems and institutions.

The legislative apparatus will be invigorated and the active participation of all members of Parliament is expected.
Consequently, the budget has made provision for a designated office and administrative support to be provided to the Leader of the Opposition.

The Administration in the 2018 period will complete the road improvement initiatives which began in 2017.

This includes the rehabilitation of the Brown Hill Village Road.

The New Castle Police Station renovation will be concluded in this year which will bring considerable relief to our armed forces.
Moreover, this fiscal year, the people of Gingerland will benefit from the construction of a festival village to host the Gingerama festivities and other events the community wishes to undertake.

All Ministries and Departments will work assiduously to accomplish these and other objectives on behalf of the people of Nevis.

I pledge my commitment in this regard and take this opportunity to extend boundless blessing on all citizens and residents.
Best regards, ……………………………… Honourable Mark Brantley Premier and Minister of Finance 1 Nevis Island Administration Estimate 2018 Financial Summaries 2 FINANCIAL SUMMARY 2018 CLASSIFICATION 2018 ESTIMATES 2017 ESTIMATES 2016 ACTUAL CURRENT ESTIMATES Current Revenue 137,918,900 140,255,640 132,903,778 Current Budgetary Support 30,000,000 15,000,000 24,161,000 Current Expenditure 162,611,550 157,294,950 143,669,182 Surplus/Deficit 5,307,350 (2,039,310) 13,395,596 CAPITAL ESTIMATES Capital Revenue Loans Development Aid / Budgetary Grants Total Capital Revenue Capital Expenditure Revenue Loans Development Aid Total Capital Expenditure Surplus/Deficit (Current Account) Surplus/Deficit (Capital Account) Total Surplus/Deficit 21,900,000 11,486,700 33,386,700 31,326,000 21,900,000 11,486,700 64,712,700 5,307,350 ) (31,326,000) (26,018.650) 20,800,000 30,315,100 51,115,100 1,210,232 11,338,100 12,548,332 27,892,000 20,800,000 30,315,100 79,007,100 (2,039,310) (27,892,000) (29,931,310) 23,752,294 1,210,232 11,338,100 36,300,626 13,395,596 (23,752,294) (10,356,698) 3 SUMMARY OF TOTAL BUDGET MINISTRIES DEPUTY GOVERNOR GENERAL LEGISLATURE AUDIT LEGAL SERVICES PREMIER'S MINISTRY MINISTRY OF FINANCE, STATISTICS & ECONOMIC PLANNING SERVICES, MINISTRY OF COMMUNICATIONS, PUBLIC WORKS, PLANNING, PHYSICAL WATER ENVIRONMENT, POSTS AND LABOUR MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE, LANDS, COOPERATIVES, FISHERIES & DISASTER MANAGE.

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 eleven (11) 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 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 gain the trust and respect of all.

It provides a significant level of legal advice on a wide range of complex issues especially where the government is creating new laws, purchasing goods and services, employing persons or defending its decisions in court.

In order to be most effective, the cadre of Legal Counsels at the Department with a keen understanding of government business work closely with many of the Ministries, Departments and Statutory Corporations.
Scope of Work of the Legal Department The work undertaken by the Legal Department is multifaceted, sensitive and oftentimes in the public eye.

It ranges from civil litigation in public and private law matters as well as advisory and legislative work including specialist areas of corporate, contract, conveyancing and employment law.
As the Nevis Island Administration continues to embark on projects to aid and promote the development of the Island, it is envisaged that the participation of the Legal Department will continue to increase in 2018 Further, the Department recognizes that the society has become more litigious stemming from the public’s awareness of its rights and freedoms through information sharing as a result of greater connectivity via social media.
Resultantly, the Department has seen an increase in public law matters such as judicial review matters and it is anticipated that this trend will continue.

All of these factors indicated that the workload of Counsels at the Department will likely to increase.

In 2017, the department adjusted to the increase in the amount of work by adding a new Legal Counsel capable of handling government’s work.
Additionally, a Legal Assistant has also been added in order to support the work of the Legal Counsels in specific areas of research, opinion writing and drafting.

However, since it is anticipated that the workload will continue to increase, there is still need for a Legal Counsel with substantial experience at the Bar.

It is imperative that this vacancy is filled in 2018 as the Department continues to play an integral role in the creation of new Laws and the amendment of existing legislation.
Additional human resource will also greatly assist the current work in litigation and drafting of documents.

The department will endeavor to bring to life the policies of the Nevis Island Administration, giving sound advice on whether a policy can be introduced under existing legislation and, if so, how.
From the commercial angle, it is expected that the Legal Services Department will continue to provide legal advice on contract formation, and corporate type matters whether they involve undertaking large- scale complex public procurement or day-to-day transactional commercial matters.

In 2018, we will continue to work closely with the Nevis Island Administration, its Ministries and Departments to help with the construction of resilient contractual arrangements with suppliers and other key partners.
In the interest of achieving effective dispute resolution, in 2018 the Department intends to focus on avoiding litigation where it is in the best interests of the parties to do so.

This will be done by providing timely and effective legal advice with emphasis on early intervention to minimize expensive and lengthy trials.
Additionally, all Ministries and Departments will be encouraged to consult with the Legal Department at the early stage of discussion and negotiation on procurement, planning, construction, labour, human resources and other matters.

We pledge to effectively coordinate our time and intellect while working together to develop a better system where our conduct of legal matters and litigation in particular is elevated to a higher and more appropriate level.
We will continue to build on the quality of work we have produced guided by shared values of honesty, integrity and hard work.

As 2018 approaches we are confident that collectively we can overcome any challenge.

With renewed vigour and great enthusiasm we look forward to further 45 04 - LEGAL SERVICES strengthening the legal relationship with the Government and people of Nevis.
Staff Training It is recognized that both administrative and legal staff should engage in further training in order to achieve maximum efficiency.

By the end of 2017, the Department will embark on training in Office Management, Etiquette and Information Technology.
In 2018, critical and useful training in Computer Programming; Research; Civil Litigation, Practice and Procedure; Professional Legal Skills and Presentation; Public and Constitutional Law; Financial Regulation and Company Law will be undertaken.

The notable training in Anti-Money Laundering that the Legal Department has benefitted from over the years will continue in full force with the participation of Counsels in local and regional seminars.
.......................... Mr. Colin Tyrell Legal Services 1.3 MANAGEMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT This report on the Plans and Priorities for the Legal Services Department is submitted for tabling in Parliament.

It reflects the suggestions and input of Senior Management taking into consideration the collective ideas, and realistic intentions of the entire Legal Department as it concerns the Department’s aspirations and goals for 2018.
At the core of this Report is the transformation of the way we do business at the Companies Registry as a result of the ongoing major reform to move our system of registration from manual to online for the benefit of the public.

It is hoped that this will result in greater ease and efficiency in conducting business when it comes to companies’ registration.
……………………… Mr. Colin Tyrell Legal Advisor Legal Services 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.

- Review, vet and approve documents for Marriage Licences, Aliens Land Holding Licences, and Declaration of Natural Parents Applications for registration of father’s name.
46 04 - LEGAL SERVICES - Review of loan Agreement or Proposals between the Government, its Ministries and Departments with Financial Institutions or Agencies.

- Act as Tutor Ad Hoc in Applications for adoption of infants.

- Represent the Nevis Island Administration on various committees, statutory bodies and other Boards established by the Government as necessary.

- 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.

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 caselaw 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 management of the Ministry of Finance is both challenging and exciting.

It encompasses the onerous task of securing the most effective use of the financial resources entrusted to my Administration.

The limitations of these resources make it profoundly imperative that programmes are executed with proficiency and competence.

Such proficiency in turn will create an environment conducive to the development of the island of Nevis.
The prospect for this development is the exciting part of the job as we witness first-hand the transformation in the lives of everyday people brought about in part because of our programmes of empowerment.

In this regard, the mandate of my Ministry is clear: take the leadership role in promoting financial and economic stability while maintaining objectivity and fairness in all decisions and upholding our fiduciary responsibility to the people of Nevis.
To promote financial and economic stability there are some key policy issues that must be confronted.

These include ensuring that the tax collection apparatus of the government is robust and taxes are collected in a transparent and equitable manner in order to finance human, physical and social infrastructure.

Thus, the mobilization of our domestic tax revenue is a necessary condition for economic advancement.
It is in answering this necessity that the Ministry has strategically invested in the human capacity of the Customs and Inland Revenue Departments.

This has redound to a more professional level of service provided by these two departments.

In 2018, the Customs Department strategy will involve fine tuning programmes to enhance revenue collection, trade facilitation and enforcement and border protection.
The Inland Revenue Department on the other hand, will work expeditiously to finalize the establishment of the methods and structure for the full filing and payment of taxes in an electronic format.

While the level of tax collection is a necessary condition to promote financial and economic stability, it is not sufficient.
The management of these resources plays a pivotal role in securing sustainability in the financial position of the government; in ensuring redistribution to the most vulnerable in the society and in promoting future prosperity through effective spending on education, health and national security.
The Ministry of Finance through the Budget, Economic Policy and Public Sector Investment Programme units and the Treasury will secure this level of stability in 2018 through a rigorous oversight and review of public expenditure and debt management to ensure proportionality, economy and value for money are delivered in government programmes and that the debt upward trajectory is moderated.
Promotion of economic stability also involves ensuring that a business friendly orientation is infused into the conduct of the public service and supported at all levels for meaningful advancement in local and foreign businesses.

The Ministry of Finance in 2018 will continue to lead in this regard through the Department of Trade and Consumer Affairs, the Small Business Enterprise Development Unit and the Development and Marketing Department.
A recalibration of these Departments in 2018 will provide a more harmonious flow of support for private sector initiatives including an unwavering objective of attracting another reputable multinational enterprise to the island in the near to medium term.
Moreover, the Regulation and Supervision Department supports the overall mandate of the Ministry of Finance of promoting financial and economic stability through the oversight of the Financial Services Sector including international financial services, insurance companies and money transfer services.
……………………………… Honourable Mark Brantley Minister of Finance 66 06 - MINISTRY OF FINANCE, STATISTICS & ECONOMIC PLANNING 1.2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Ministry of Finance commits itself to supporting innovation and creativity with an aim of fostering diversity and resilience in our economy.

Economic diversity and resilience is especially important to small island states who are exposed to a number of exogenous and endogenous shocks.
The island of Nevis is inherently vulnerable to natural disasters, trade shocks and global economic downturn.

Economic diversity will help to mitigate these vulnerabilities.

It is also integral to economic development and enhances long term growth potential; providing the pathway to effectively manage economic downturns.

Economic resilience likewise increases the prospects of individuals and businesses in the areas of local manufacturing, agro processing and services resulting in domestic investment.
Concomitantly, the strategy to drive diversity and resilience augurs well for all Nevisians.

The Nevis Island Administration has demonstrated an unwavering commitment to the advancement of the people of Nevis.

In 2018, the Ministry of Finance will contribute to this strategy through the development of frameworks that support policy implementation for human development.
Moreover, the delivery of effective financial management frameworks will facilitate inclusive, participatory and accountable programmes to the general public.

The Ministry’s work involve the mobilization of financial resources to assist in the successful completion of projects which are economically, socially and environmentally beneficial.

The construction of the Treasury Building will be in full force in 2018.

This project has a 24 month duration period and is thus expected to conclude in 2019.
The configuration of the building upon completion will improve the overall functionality of the Treasury and Inland Revenue Departments.

This will further help to assist in the enhancement of the services provided by these Departments.

The Customs Department continues its vigilance in ensuring the protection of the community from the potential risks arising from trade and travel while facilitating the legitimate movement of people and goods across our borders.
In this regard the Customs Department will play its part in safeguarding the illegal trafficking of goods to the island of Nevis.

Moreover, the Department continues to implement measures to simplify and accelerate the clearance of goods; promote further the uniform application of Customs legislations and streamline Customs procedures and practices in order to rationalize the activities at the Department.
This is expected to boost operational efficiency at the points of entry thus contributing to improvements in the economic competitiveness of the island.

The assessment of the behaviour and moral of staff will be conducted to ensure the improvement in service delivery at the Department.

Department of Statistics is tasked with the responsibility of data management and dissemination for the Administration.
The Enhanced Country Poverty Assessment executed by the Department and which began in 2017is expected to be completed in the 2018 period.

The assessment will examine the change in the living standards of the population of Nevis since the last assessment in 2007/2008.

It involves collecting pertinent information on the incidence and prevalence of poverty with a view of formulating policies and programmes to mitigate their effects among the most vulnerable in our communities.
Moreover, the Department is expected to collect and analyse other applicable macroeconomic information such as Consumer Price Index and Tourism Statistics.

In 2018, the Regulation and Supervision Department efforts will be redoubled as they are expected to expand the training facilitated by the Department to regulated entities.

The highly successful and anticipated AML/FT training is slated to be held in May 2018 at the Four Season’s Resort.

This has become a flagship event for the Department.
The proposed theme for 2018 is “Improving Transparency and Accountability – Fostering Confidence in today’s Regulatory Environment”.

The indicative tenet of the operation of the Ministry is to provide high quality service to the people and residents of Nevis.

This atmosphere is to ensure meaningful economic investments for the creation of productive and gainful employment.
These domestic investment will be beneficial to the improvement in the quality of lives for the people of Nevis in this 2018 fiscal year and beyond.

This support is demonstrated through our commitment to ensure the expansion, modernization and preservation of the island’s physical infrastructure and the environment.

In satisfying this commitment the Ministry’s work is multidimensional.

It includes a focus on road construction, school renovation, water supply enhancement and coastal and other environmental protection.
The implementation of our extensive road development and maintenance programme impacts positively our long run socio-economic goals of fostering growth and competitiveness.

Road infrastructure provides the geographic connectivity, through transport, necessary to support commerce and the social cohesion.

Nevis has benefitted tremendously from the Ministry’s work in road development in the 2017 period.
Such roads include that at Hamilton Housing Development, Shaws Road, Braziers Estate and Hermitage Estate.

In the 2018 period, the Ministry will continue its work to ensure our citizens are the recipient of a quality road network.

The major road development will involve significant rehabilitation to the road in Brown Hill, and Craddock Road from the intersection of Main Street to Pump Road.

Moreover, the Ministry is also expected to commence the first phase of the renovation of the road in Bath Village.
The Ministry has shown its willingness to ensure that safe and reliable water is provided to the people of Nevis.

An example of this is the Water Supply Enhancement Project partly funded by the Caribbean Development Bank.

This project which began a number of years ago will continue for the 2018 fiscal year.

In 2017, the Ministry through the Public Works Department was responsible for the oversight of considerable renovation and expansion of our learning institutions.
The maintenance of the Charlestown Secondary School, the St. Thomas’ Primary School and the Gingerland Pre School, to name a few, supports human development at all levels.

It is with vigour and determination that the Ministry will continue these work in the 2018 period.

I am happy as the new Minister to lead this vital arm of Government.
I intend to undertake my tasks in a responsible manner; to ensure the resources entrusted to me are used for the advancement of all the people of Nevis and to respect the guiding principles of fairness and transparency.

I commend my predecessors the Honourable Alexis Jeffers – Senior Minister and the Honourable Troy Liburd Junior Minister.
I also appreciate the support of the general public in facilitating our work in roads and school expansion and thank you for your patience during the times of construction.

I moreover, thank the various Departments under my Ministry and the Administration for supporting the mandate of protecting and enhancing the island’s investment in infrastructure.

A most productive 2018 to all.


Best regards, …………………………… Honourable Spencer Brand Minister of Communications, Public Works, Water Services, Physical Planning & Environment, Posts and Labour 1.2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Ministry of Communications, Public Works, Water Services, Physical Planning & Environment, Posts and Labour remained extremely busy in the 2017 period.

Our road development programme for example was quite ambitious by any measure.
The Ministry was successful in bringing a number of 106 07 - MINISTRY OF COMMUNICATIONS, PUBLIC WORKS, WATER SERVICES, PHYSICAL PLANNING & ENVIRONMENT, POSTS AND LABOUR these projects to completion.

In 2018, the Ministry will continue its road development projects estimated to cost $6.5 million.

These road projects are expected to bring relief to the people of Brown Hill, Craddock Road, Bath Village and Shaws Road.
The Brown Hill Road Project is anticipated to cost $3.1 million and Craddock Road $2.4 million.

Along with the undertaking of these road development projects, the Public Works Department will be engaged in the maintenance of a number of government buildings including other renovations to schools that may be necessary.

Nevis Water Department proposes to proceed with the Water Supply Enhancement Project through the installation of pipes throughout the island.
This will include the areas of Maddens, Jessups Village, Shaws Road and Jones Estate.

The Nevis Island Administration at an estimated cost of US$2 million has entered into an agreement with BEAD to explore and develop three wells to augment the supply of water on the island.

This agreement has resulted in the drilling of one new well in New River to date.
In addition to the above proposed work the Department intends to commission another water tank of 300,000 gallon capacity to replace a glass reinforced plastic tank with a glass steel tank.

A booster pump station attached to this commissioned water tank will aide in the pumping of water to the Morgan Heights tank and has the capacity to meet future water demands in that area.

The Nevis Postal Services Office has met with unprecedented success with the implementation of the US Mail Service Programme.
Changes in Customs Department procedures have presented a challenge for the Department in the 2017 period.

The Ministry and the Department have begun discussions with the relevant parties in order to resolve the matter and to return to a seamless flow of packages from St. Kitts to Nevis.

Department of Physical Planning continues to look at ways to improve efficiencies in the areas of timely processing of plans.
The adoption of the Nevis Physical Development Plan, the update of the Nevis Physical Planning and Development Control Ordinance along with its Regulations, and securing technical assistance and training for the Department will assist in this regard.

We recognize that this Department plays an important role in terms of controlling the physical development of Nevis, land use planning, local and foreign investment and the proper maintenance, monitoring and protection of our environment.
We will therefore continue to work with all relevant stakeholders within and outside of the Administration to achieve our goals.

132 08 - MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE, LANDS, COOPERATIVES, FISHERIES & DISASTER MANAGEMENT 1.1 MINISTER'S MESSAGE The Ministry of Agriculture, Lands, Housing, Co-operatives and Fisheries in the Nevis Island Administration has traditionally been tasked with ensuring Nevisians are able to achieve self-sufficiency as it relates to the production of food as well as to manage the land usage on the island in association with other Ministries while ensuring that the relevant physical spaces are allocated.
The Ministry undertakes its mandate with the assistance of the Nevis Housing and Land Development Corporation that manages physical spaces allocated to housing and other relevant economic activity.

This allows the ministry to focus on food security and forestry management.

The Ministry will continue to undertake the necessary policy and support initiatives to further empower the different sectors namely Crop and Livestock Farmers, Fishers and Agro processors.
The Department of Co-operatives is an important support structure in the overall improvement of agriculture, whether it is farmers, fishers, agro processors or bee keepers, working together is a proven method of achieving economies of scale as they collectively ply their trade.

We recognise that the challenges being experienced as a consequence of climate change are contributing to the adaptation of climate smart farming techniques.
The climatic environment from rain fall patterns, temperatures, soil conditions, pests and diseases are all affecting production and yields.

In association with our allied agencies and their wealth of knowledge and access to both technical support and funding we are on the front lines with our famers transferring knowledge and best practices.
We continue to push protected agriculture where it has been proven that farmers can produce more with smaller physical space in an environment that is ideal for relevant crops.

We encourage careful selection of varieties that have proven high yielding in our climate and are resistant to the majority of pests and diseases.
The local representatives of the four major Allied Agencies: the Food and Agriculture Organisation (FAO), the Inter American Institute for Cooperation in Agriculture (IICA), the Caribbean Agricultural Research and Development Institute (CARDI) and the Republic of China (Taiwan) have all confirmed their commitment to the Ministry as well as farmers on Nevis.
During recent discussions which centred around the opportunities for cooperation among agencies, with particular focus on local needs, the agencies were able to outline their work programs and reaffirmed their commitments to the development of the agriculture and fisheries subsector.
Some of what is planned for 2018 include training in governance issues relating to farmers, integrated water resource management focusing on water provision and conservation as it relates to specific crops, food safety training and enhanced weather monitoring stations with appropriate technical support.

The passage of Hurricanes Irma and Maria further exposed the vulnerability of the Agriculture sector on our islands and showed how truly fragile food security is.
The Ministry therefore, has tripled its efforts to build resilience in all of the agriculture related sectors that can ensure that we can lessen the impact of sudden negative weather conditions; whether it is increasing root crop production during the traditional hurricane season, slip ways for our fishers, collapsible green houses, enhanced food storage facilities as well as proper shelter for livestock.
The Ministry a few years ago began a buy local eat local campaign which in part certified that the food products sold by the department are of the highest possible safety and quality.

To the credit of the hard working staff at the Abattoir and Agro Processing unit in particular as well as our staff at the various estates, there is a very high demand for the local brand.

This is a demonstration of our leading by example where we produce quality food that is attractively packaged.
We therefore encourage farmers whether individually or collectively to seize the available opportunities.

The Ministry will not compete with farmers, we however seek first to encourage production of key crops and where we see a short fall we would supplement production.

Through various units such as the Quarantine and Marketing units we are able to collate both import and sales figures.
This information is used to guide our decision making as we seek to establish an intelligence led coordinated approach to Agriculture.

One of the ideas that is being worked on for 2018 133 08 - MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE, LANDS, COOPERATIVES, FISHERIES & DISASTER MANAGEMENT is the establishment of a virtual crop management platform, where extension officers and the department can monitor the status of crop production almost on a daily basis.

This is a platform that would improve the harvesting forecast.
We have also realised that it has implications on a number of other related fields and would therefore create a level of accuracy in our projections that have hither to not been possible.

Agro Processing continues to be a rapidly expanding value added opportunity for agriculture.

The beauty about this activity is that the processors are limited only by their level of creativity.
The Ministry continues to value the support from IICA in particular who over the last year has contributed equipment; a labelling system, sourcing of a mango pulping machine and commitment to providing an additional walk in freezer.

One of the small successes at the ministry has been the use of cassava flour late last year in making bread.

The bread continues to gain popularity especially with regards to its taste and gluten free feature.
The expansion of the Abattoir in 2016 was a direct result of the demand from local patrons as well as hotels and restaurants.

The Ministry took what was an easy decision to invest in the facility as the operations and variety of services offered simply outgrew the existing plant which was constructed more than two decades ago.

The manager and staff at the facility must be commended for the first class service provided to the general public and our expectations continue to be surpassed every year.
Livestock production on the two farms operated by the Ministry are at a level that we regard as a sustainable model.

The transfer of knowledge and certain theories into practice has ensured that we have a steady beef and mutton supply to the Abattoir.

Based on the success at the government farms we established a livestock extension unit that now works directly with livestock farmers to implement practices that would yield success for these farmers.
The Ministry established a Forestry Unit in 2017, this move was necessitated as we have realised that we can no longer take an unstructured approach to fruit and tree crop production.

The economic value of this aspect of agriculture has been proven and our observation suggest that if properly nurtured significant remuneration is possible for farmers.

Additionally the environmental importance of the discipline is important as the ministry continues its climate smart agriculture thrust.
Fisheries is a critical subsector of the agriculture industry and we pledge to our fishers the necessary support to ensure their success.

One of the major concerns is near shore fishing that negatively affects the ecosystems close to our islands.

The Ministry through the Department of Fisheries continue to push the idea of deploying Fish Aggregating Devices in our waters.

We also encourage the investment in larger vessels so our fishers can access migratory species such as wahoo and tunas.
With the support of the external agencies such as the Japan International Cooperation Agency – JICA and The Caribbean Regional Fisheries Mechanism (CRFM) the Ministry will do all it can to improve the fishing industry.

Training and knowledge transfer continues to be another priority for the ministry.

One of the more simple but proud moments during our world food day week of activities was the reactivation of farmers’ field school.
This activity is an adaptation of a similar exercise pioneered by the FAO where farmers come together to learn from each other and older farmers can learn new techniques, while younger farmers can understand the value of certain practices.

In addition, workshops are a staple of our service to farmers, we are grateful as well to our allied agencies that continue to provide training to staff and farmers where possible.
The health and consumption patterns of our population continue to be a high priority area for the Ministry as we work with other agencies within the Nevis Island Administration to make sure that food is available, to ensure that the food is safe and of the best quality possible.

We recommit to assisting our farmers as well as support systems to guarantee the opportunity to produce.
134 08 - MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE, LANDS, COOPERATIVES, FISHERIES & DISASTER MANAGEMENT 1.2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Ministry of Agriculture, Lands, Housing, Fisheries and Cooperatives is comprised of three (3) Departments; the Department of Agriculture, Department of Fisheries, Department of Co-operatives 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’s mandate is to support farmers and fishers as well as agro processors to vigorously promote local production and encourage farmers to use existing and new technology to grow their business.

The Ministry of Agriculture’s thrust is supported by a number of Allied Agencies.
While we will continue to maintain and strengthen these current relationships, we will also actively seek to establish new ones.

We pledge a collaborative and coordinated approach to agricultural development with IICA, CARDI, FAO, UWI and Mission Taiwan to make sure that staff, farmers and all stakeholders hone their technical skills as we move not only to ensure food security but to realise export potential.
The Department of Fisheries through synergies with the Department of Marine Resources on St Kitts seek to ensure that all programmes and activities benefit fishers.

Further, the new Fisheries Act that was passed in the National Assembly in 2016 is seen as a coordinating framework between both agencies to impact the legal, management and environmental conservation issues that affect the sector.

The partnership with JICA will be strengthened as we endeavour to move the Fisheries subsector to another level.
The JICA sponsored deployment of Fish Aggregating Devices (FADS) in our waters is welcomed and is expected to continue.

The Ministry will also ensure that fishers receive the support necessary to enhance their trade through training and donations where possible.
The Ministry is very disappointed in the state of co-operatives on the island; however, we pledge to aggressively promote this feature as it is a tried and tested method of accessing funding, achieving economies of scale in the purchase of tools and materials as well as increasing their bargaining power.
1.3 MANAGEMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT I submit for tabling in Parliament, the annual Report on Plans and Priorities (RPP) for the Ministry of Agriculture, Land & Housing, Cooperatives & Fisheries, Natural Resources and Disaster Management for 2018.

In 2018, our priorities will focus on primary, secondary and tertiary prevention of non-communicable diseases, as well as facilitating access to secondary and tertiary healthcare services.

Access to healthcare remains a priority, particularly for primary healthcare services which include health education and screening services for non-communicable diseases such as diabetes and hypertension, as well as communicable diseases such as HIV and syphilis.
Our outreach programmes at various communities, schools and workplaces will be increased significantly by a health outreach vehicle made possible through a partnership with the government of Japan.

In addition to enhancing service delivery, friendly governments have also facilitated access to training, including the government of China (Taiwan), which through a 3 year Renal Health Prevention and Control Project, has trained 30 healthcare providers in 2017, and is slated to train a further 30 in 2018.
Access to health information through the establishment of a hospital information system has also been strengthened through this partnership, with the final phase of this project concluding in 2018.

Innovation through new health technologies will also include improvements in the immunization and perinatal information systems at health centres on Nevis.
For the first time in over 50 years, all health centres will be computerized which will allow for more timely data reporting and analysis of health information of the population, including women and children.

Infrastructural development has once again been placed as a high priority in 2018, with the expansion and renovation of health facilities at Brown Hill, and Gingerland.

Works at the Alexandra Hospital will continue after unavoidable delays due to Hurricane Maria.
By the end of 2018, the first phase of this facility will be complete and we will include the construction of a new laboratory and operating theatre.

Innovation cannot reach its optimal level without the availability of critical human resource personnel.

In 2018, we will see increased capacity in the area of pharmacy, physicians, and specialist nurses.

We will also see the pursuit of essential health areas including optometry, which will complement our advanced vision screening equipment.
The development of our nation is contingent on its health and therefore the Ministry of Health will continue to contribute by ensuring that the population has access to the highest available quality of healthcare at all levels.

1.2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY In 2018, the Ministry of Health will continue to implement sound policies and programs geared towards a healthy population.
Our burden of disease reflects a population with a high prevalence of obesity which is a risk factor for non-communicable diseases such as diabetes, hypertension and cancers.

Access to health promotion services is key, and is required to facilitate behavior change.

Thus, innovative ideas must be employed.

Outreach activities will be scaled up through the use of a health outreach vehicle.
This asset acquired through a partnership with the government of Japan is expected to increase the Ministry of Health’s screening and testing services for non-communicable diseases and HIV/AIDS by at least 30% in 2018.

In addition to physical access to services, financial access is also a priority, and thus the National Health Insurance Committee will continue to work on this mandate, with the aim of commencing community consultations in this regard by the second quarter of 2018.
151 09 - MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND GENDER AFFAIRS The management of health information will also be a priority in 2018.

This will be made possible through an increase in access to technology at all health centres where computers will allow for the development of databases in many areas including immunization, persons at risk for chronic kidney disease and pregnant women.
Tertiary prevention initiatives will also be a focus, where in order to prevent progression of diabetes, diabetics who qualify will be provided with testing strips as part of a self-management programme which will facilitate more effective monitoring of their illness.

Advancement in health technology will continue in several areas including at the Alexandra Hospital.
The hospital will enter the third phase of the hospital information system project, where the management of patient data will extend beyond the Alexandra Hospital, with linkage capacity to the other three hospitals in the Federation.

Technological advancements will also take place at the laboratory and operating theatre, which are part of the first phase of the Alexandra Hospital expansion project.
New equipment in these departments will include a C-arm and a special chemistry analyzer which will improve cancer diagnosis.

Critical infrastructural development will also include the expansion of the Brown Hill Health Centre which will take the form of an Environmental Health Office which will address vector borne disease needs and other environmental health issues of the St. John’s community.
Advancements in programmes, infrastructure and technology will require the availability of human resources in the right mix.

2018 will see capacity strengthened in the fields of nutrition, international health, medicine, pharmacy and health technology.

Through a combination of improved infrastructure, equipment, and human resource capacity, the Ministry of Health is well placed to provide an improved health service for citizens and residents of Nevis.
1.3 MANAGEMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT I submit for tabling in Parliament, the annual Report on Plans and Priorities (RPP) for the Ministry of Health and Gender Affairs for 2018.

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

The top level officers were engaged in a comprehensive exercise of strategic planning and collaboration in an effort to arrive at the plans and priorities outlined in this document and it is a true reflection of the views and mandate of the office of the Ministry as a whole.
The document will serve as an essential planning tool and working guide for the operation for 2018 and beyond and will act as an evaluation tool to assess performance.

11 The Gender Affairs Department will continue to promote gender equality by providing training in various issues that will facilitate the empowerment of women and girls, as well as highlight the vulnerabilities of the male gender.

1.5 MAIN CHALLENGES TO ACHIEVE PORTFOLIO'S ANNUAL OBJECTIVES Financial Constraints: Two issues that have dominated the health care financing discussions have been cost and coverage.

The government is now pursuing Universal Health Insurance.
Ensuring “universal” coverage requires a well-financed health system.

While the Ministry continues to allocate funds in a way that promotes efficiency it becomes necessary to adopt innovative financing mechanisms to meet healthcare funding demands.

Human Resource Constraints: There still exist some gaps as it relates to skills and category of staff.
In order to meet the growing need, the Ministry must develop a strategic approach to deal with these HR issues which may involve recruiting specialized staff and providing educational and training opportunities for existing staff.

Technology: The healthcare sector faces significant challenges in implementing effective IT solutions.

The environment is increasingly complex and, if not managed appropriately, can negatively impact patient care.
Phase two of the Hospital Information System will commence shortly and the institution settings must be able to balance strict privacy and security requirements with the need to constantly 153 09 - MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND GENDER AFFAIRS improve the existing IT infrastructure and performance.

Policy Development: There are many challenges and uncertainty in health care.
The Ministry therefore must be prepared to adopt and develop new policies and plans to address issues such as health work force strengthening, health disaster management and information safety.

1.6 IMPORTANT INITIATIVES CONTRIBUTING TO THE ACHIEVEMENT OF THE ANNUAL Policy Development: Policies provide guidance that facilitates compliance with applicable laws, regulations and standards.
The completion of the National Strategic Health Plan 2017-2021 highlighted the need for policy and plan development in key areas.

The Ministry will therefore work with the Federal Government and PAHO to develop the Health Disaster Policy and Plan, Human Resources for Health Policy and Plan and the Standard Operating Procedures for the Transportation of Human Remains.
Human Resource Development: The success of any plan to improve Human Resources in Health (HRH) will hinge on the capacity to plan for, manage and develop the workforce.

We believe that the development of the Human Resources for Health Policy and Plan will address some of our human resource issues.

Strategic Partnership: The Ministry recognizes and utilizes the experts at PAHO who would be instrumental in assisting us in developing policies and plans of action for various areas.
We will continue our partnership with the Government of China (Taiwan) as it relates to training, where health workers are exposed to the newest technology and latest techniques in the areas of health information systems, eye care and non-communicable disease management.

In the area of research, continued collaboration with the University of Virginia and other universities will help to provide us with the evidence needed to support our programs and interventions.
Harnessing Information and Opportunities: New horizons to be explored as the Ministry will consider every opportunity to advance it workforce while making use of critical information to improve service delivery and health outcomes.

Information from the HPV study and the reported incidence of cervical cancer along with the alarming number of children affected by dental caries has empowered us to make the decision to re-introduce the fluoride rinse programme and to introduce the HPV vaccine.

The Ministry of tourism leads the charge in terms of tourism product development, the framework of which is sustainable tourism.

The Ministry ensures that our tourism product is of the high standard that we market and also ensure that tourism development takes place in a manner that provides sound economic benefits for all citizens, highlights our phenomenal, complex and rich cultural heritage while at the same time preserving the delicate balances of the natural environment.
Promoting livelihoods, especially in the local population is a critical objective of tourism development.

As outlined in its product development plan, the Ministry will continue to offer training in critical areas such as customer service, taxi and tour guiding operations, front-line hospitality operations and entrepreneurship among other areas.
This will ensure that our people not only have the requisite skills and attitudes to take advantage of the many opportunities for tourism employment and income generation that abound, but also have the confidence and enabling environment to start their own businesses.
Disaster resilience is also an important part of fostering livelihoods – in the wake of recent hurricanes, the Ministry ensured Pinneys Beach, Bath Stream and other tourism sites were restored within the quickest possible time as we recognized the importance of these sites to Nevisian livelihoods.
The Ministry will continue its quality control efforts in the 2018 period, with initiatives aimed at improving the standards of service provided by our taxi operators, tour guides, hotels, restaurants and beach bars through the establishment and monitoring of minimum standards.

Special emphasis will be placed on our tour guides who will shortly require permits and regulations similar to those required by taxi operators.
Education and awareness programmes will continue to be given emphasis at primary, secondary and tertiary levels.

Our participation in regional competitions will continue.

Exposition Nevis, which was first introduced in 2015 as a showcase of Nevis’ tourism product, will be again hosted in April – May 2018.

The development and maintenance of our heritage and touristic sites is part and parcel of the Ministry’s objective of preserving and showcasing our island’s rich culture and history.
This is even more critical as Nevis seeks to have the City of Charlestown inscribed on the UNESCO World Heritage list.

We will seek to protect and showcase sites of outstanding universal value not only in Charlestown, but across the island.
The Nevis Tourism Authority will diversify and improve its marketing strategy in 2018, building on successes achieved in 2017 such as the ever growing Nevis Mango and Food Festival and improved destination awareness achieved through targeted public relations and strategic social media efforts.

In 2018 the tourism marketing strategy will change.

It will no longer focus as heavily on Public Relations and awareness building.
Now that Nevis has achieved the level of awareness built through the concentrated effort over the past four years, the time is now right to shift attention to capitalizing on this gain.

Therefore the focus on sales will be increased.

It is now time to begin to seriously drive visitor arrivals.
It is important that I express sincere appreciation to my teams at the Ministry of Tourism, the Nevis Tourism Authority, the Hotel and Tourism Association and all the stakeholders who have and continue to contribute to the successes of the Nevis tourism industry and for their role providing resilient, sustainable and inclusive economic growth and development.
Best regards .......................................... Honourable Mark Brantley Minister of Tourism 178 10 - MINISTRY OF TOURISM 1.2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The following represents the mission, goals and activities of the Ministry of Tourism for 2018.

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

The documents remain 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 are not new, however, there are a few that will be implemented for the first time.

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

Opportunities abound for employment, training, entrepreneurship, diversification and to a larger extent, a better standard of living.
The priorities and specific plans outlined are deeply rooted in culture, history and heritage and the overarching theme of sustainability with its economic, socio-cultural and environmental dimensions.

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.
Limited resources – there is a dearth of available monies to fund the projects, hence wise 1 spending and frugal decision-making will have to be hallmarks of operating during the year 2 Limited technical staff at the Product Development Unit and 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 The escalation of gun related crimes on locals and guests is a cause for concern as the tranquil and peaceful reputation of our destination is seriously threatened by the activities of a few misguided persons Airlift has been a perennial challenge for Nevis.
The high prices on tickets, due in most part to 5 taxation, reduces the attractiveness of our destination to some of our visitors.

6 The move by some cruise lines to acquire larger ships will negatively affect the cruise sector as 181 10 - MINISTRY OF TOURISM our facilities to accommodate such vessels are very limited.

Therefore, the NIA remains resolute to the theme, “Investing in Quality Education: Empowering the Nation”.

The Government has made significant investment in education during the year 2016 – 2017 and will continue to do so in 2017 – 2018, as we seek to improve the education product and equip our students with the necessary competencies to maximize their learning outcomes.
The exams results for CSEC, CAPE and our local Test of Standards bear out the fact that our students have performed creditably over the past year.

While the NIA is happy for the successes of our students, we pledge to continue to invest whole-heartedly in the total education of our people to ensure that the great strides we have made in education are strengthened.
The Child-friendly School model will continue to be promoted in all our schools to bring about desired positive behaviors that we want our children to display at all times.

During the New Year, a number of education-related projects will be initialized.

The TVET Enhancement Project at the Multi-Purpose Centre at Charlestown Secondary School and the Gingerland Secondary School will begin in the summer of this year.
This is a project that when completed, will enhance our vocational training for all in society, to make us more competitive in the job market.

Another project is an advanced Security and Surveillance System at the Government High Schools, which will greatly reduce the unwanted behaviors by students such as students skipping classes by hiding out in remote spots on the school premises.

Such a Surveillance System would help the Attendance Officers to respond rapidly to quell situations such as fights.
These systems would cause students to stop and think before they proceed with undesirable behaviors.

We recently launched one of the Federation’s biggest project with regards to education, The Education Sector Plan 2017 – 2021.

While this is a Federal Project, the NIA is fully involved in it and has fully contributed to its planning and final drafting.
Nevisians were involved every step of the way, especially in development of strategies and activities in the six major programmes the Education Sector Plan addresses.

This Education Sector Plan will make us more proactive in education rather than reactive as the plan will contribute to making us a more cohesive and responsible society.

It would better prepare our learners for higher education, economic independence, social integration and build cultural awareness and pride.
NIA’s support for sports and extracurricular activities such as the arts and craft skills will continue as we seek to provide opportunities for our students to develop themselves holistically.

Preservation of our traditional sports such as cricket and football and our cultural art forms such as the masquerades , cake walk, maypole dancing and African drumming remains top priorities for the NIA.

This Administration vows to do all it can to help generate interest in these areas.
The Ministry and Department of Education will continue to work with our private cooperate partners, civic groups, social organisations, regional and international entities in an effort to implement our education plan and strategies, which will continue the improvement in our education product.

We thank all those who have contributed over the years to the development of and innovations in our education system.
We continue to indulge your support as we strive to enhance the quality of our education for all Nevisians.

Best wishes .............................. Mr.


Troy Liburd Junior Minister 189 11 - MINISTRY OF EDUCATION, LIBRARY SERVICES AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY Ministry of Education, Library Services and Information Technology 1.2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Ministry of Education and Library Services will forge ahead in 2018 to enhance the overall quality of education that it provides for all of our people from Pre-school to Adult Education.
We look forward to the execution of the new Education Sector Plan 2017 -2021 where in 2018 a number of strategies that are especially geared to provide a higher quality education to all nationals and residents will be mobilized.

The Ministry will continue in 2018 to embrace and expand the partnership between other government Ministries and Departments to provide a holistic system of education for our students.
We especially look forward to continued collaboration with the Sports Department to get our students engaged in sports tournaments such as cricket and football.

We also look forward to continued work with the Nevis Cultural Development Foundation (NCDF) to enhance the development of our cultural art forms such as the masquerade, maypole dancing and cakewalk dancing.
The Ministry will in 2018 continue to provide these opportunities for our students so that they can be well-rounded, as we promote the Education Sector Plan’s theme “Education for all”.

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, Library Services and Information Technology 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 2018.

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

The top level officers were engaged in a comprehensive exercise of strategic planning and collaboration in an effort to arrive at the plans and priorities outlined in this document and it is a true reflection of the views and mandate of the office of the Ministry as a whole.
The document will serve as an essential planning tool and working guide for the operation for 2018 and beyond and will act as an evaluation tool to assess performance.
………………………… Mr. Kevin Barrett Permanent Secretary Ministry of Education, Library Services and Information Technology 190 11 - MINISTRY OF EDUCATION, LIBRARY SERVICES AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY 1.4 MAIN ACTIVITIES CONTRIBUTING TO THE PORTFOLIO'S ANNUAL OBJECTIVES Investing in Quality Education, empowering the Nation remains a very fitting theme for the Ministry of Education for 2017 -2018.
The theme embodies the resolution that the Ministry has indeed invested heavily in undertaking its responsibility of improving the quality of our education product and empowering faculty along with all students to maximize teaching and learning outcomes.

Projects that were initialized in 2017 will continue in 2018 while others will be implemented.

One project that is especially noteworthy is the Education Sector Plan 2017 -2021.
This plan has as its theme “Education for All: Embracing Changing, Securing the Future”.

It aims to establish and strengthen our education system that is based on societal needs.

The plan also aims to provide access to high quality education to all our nationals, which would contribute to the holistic development of the person.
The Education Sector Plan will have components and strategies that help our people to develop self- worth, appreciate family and community, appreciate creative arts, focus on personal health and fitness, increase awareness of the natural environment and develop critical and creative thinking skills for the current dispensation.
The vision of this plan is to provide lifelong education for all, which will build civic responsibility in individuals and provide them with the tools that will help them to succeed locally, regionally and internationally.

Policy Goals The first policy goal of the Education Sector Plan is to improve equitable access to and participation in education at all levels.
At the end of the five-year period, we aim to ensure all children of compulsory school age are indeed in school and that those with special educational needs access quality care in the most inclusive environment possible.

Additionally, we endeavor to reduce the number of secondary school students leaving after Form 4.

The Plan also brings to attention and addresses the disparities in participation in TVET subjects for males and females.
Provision will also be made for sufficient access to Early Childhood Education services for our youngest learners.

The second policy goal aims to strengthen the quality and relevance of education at all levels with a focus on improving learning outcomes for all learners.

We will engage strategies that would produce a revised curriculum and assessment system, which would include a graduation criteria for secondary schools.
The Ministry will work hard to ensure that every education and training institution abide by quality and safety standards.

Student support systems will be strengthened to facilitate students with deviant behaviors, psycho-social, academic and other special educational needs.

A special effort will be made to provide more support and remuneration to teachers for their service.

The effort to outfit the education system with qualified teachers at all levels will be maintained.
A third policy goal is directed at improving planning, management and governance throughout the education sector.

Thus, we will make sure that education planning, polices and the management of resources are precisely decided upon, through data collection.

This Education Sector Plan was launched in Nevis December 11, 2017.

The Ministry is fully supportive of the initiatives and would do all it can to ensure its success.
Another major activity is the Caribbean Development Bank and St Kitts and Nevis Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) Enhancement Project.

The process of listing the necessary equipment to enhance the existing vocational programmes at the Secondary Schools started in 2017.

The actual procurement of these equipment will be done in 2018.
Also two teachers Mr. Joseph Williams and Mr. Kirt Franklyn have been granted full scholarships with the focus being Bachelor Degrees in Industrial Technology.

Mr. Williams’ focus is Construction Technology while Mr. Franklyn is doing Mechanical Technology.

During 2018, others will be encouraged to advance their training in technical subject areas which would bolster the skills training at our Secondary Schools.
Expansion of the technical buildings at 191 11 - MINISTRY OF EDUCATION, LIBRARY SERVICES AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY the Charlestown Secondary School and Gingerland Secondary School should begin in the summer vacation of this year.

Additionally, Critical Information and Communication Technology (ITC) resources such as lap tops, tablets etc.

will be bought to promote ITC integration in the secondary schools.
Grant funds were used to purchase much needed health and family life teaching and learning materials during 2017.

The funds were also used to initiate the first stage of a consultancy to support differentiated instruction in Primary and Secondary Schools.

A differentiated instructional teaching handbook has been produced.

This will be used to ensure at least 70% of teachers receive training in differentiated teaching and procure materials for Primary and High schools in 2018.
The Ministry od Education implemented phase one of the Early Learners Programme in 2017 which is a USAID-funded project.

This progamme has been implemented across the OECS.

All learners in Kindergarten to Grade 3 are expected to improve in their reading ability having gone through this programme.

The programme focuses on developing teachers’ ability to assess and teach reading and purchase of resources that would help early intervention strategies in reading.
So far for Phase one, twenty-nine teachers have been trained, all schools but two have been introduced to the programme.

The necessary resources have been distributed to the schools.

This would help the teachers to effectively execute the programme.

Phase two will be implemented in 2018.

The remaining two schools will be included in the necessary training and distribution of resources.
Another major activity for the year 2018 will be the development of an over-archiving curriculum and assessment framework.

During 2018, there will also be a push to improve the quality and relevance of teaching and learning.

This is a project funded by the Organization of American States (OAS), which will bring technologies (laptops and tablets) to five pilot schools, to provide online training and learning resources for teachers.
Open School Information System (OpenSIS), which is a secure, web-based database that houses, captures and stores staff and student demographic inflammation and school performance data, has been introduced in all schools.

This system also allows for increased efficiency in teacher management and parent-teacher interaction.

Transcripts and report cards can also be generated electronically.
This system will continue to be used with more efficiency and frequency in 2018, as more than sixty teachers and principals were trained in the use of OpenSIS.

OpenSIS is now also more user-friendly.

A mobile application can be downloaded to android phones from Google Play Store for free.

Last October teachers and school administrators fully enjoyed OpenSIS starting with the real time gathering of attendance data.
Enhancements to be added to the OpenSIS database very soon will reduce the teacher’s administrative duties and responsibilities and increase the focus on the planning of classroom content and its delivery.

The anticipated improvement in OpenSIS will also promote direct parent involvement in monitoring their children’s attendance to school, their grades, completion of homework and other assignments.

OpenSIS will also cut down the time it takes to generate current student rewards.
The mobile app will allow parents and students to access relevant information, easily.

The Ministry has no doubt that its objectives and programmes will propel forward and improve the Education System for the 2018 Budget Cycle.

Against this background the Ministry of Human Resources will seek to organise and implement programmes to foster a public service built on accountability, efficiency and professionalism.

Its goal is to have a public service that will deliver quality service to the people it serves.

The Government will also continue to assist persons who will be pursuing higher education, but will focus mainly on those pursuing studies in areas that fall within the priorities of Government.
These areas are English, Mathematics, Chemistry, Physics, Special Education, Technical and Vocational Education ; Nursing (Community Health, Geriatric and Intensive Care), Nutritionist, Biomedical Technician, Occupational Therapist, Physical Therapist, Optometry, Audiology, Environment Health; Civil Engineering, Water Engineer, Electrical and Pump Technicians and Project Management.
In 2017, the Ministry was able to facilitate customer service training; orientation seminars; a dress code refresher and telephone etiquette training.

All completed to the advantage of the public service.

In 2018, we will aim to enhance managerial skills in the public service, further improve customer service, and assist officers in managing and resolving conflicts.
It is also considered imperative to continue educating officers on the Rules and Regulations which govern the public service, with special focus on the code of discipline and performance appraisals.

A combination of evaluation techniques will be utilized to measure the effectiveness of the various training programmes and to appraise how well officers are able to put into practice the skills garnered from these programmes.
The outcome of these evaluations would be used to help determine the areas where additional training is needed to further the development of our officers.

The Ministry anticipates that through the continued implementation of the current and future training programmes along with the active participation of all officers, characteristics such as excellent customer service, high staff productivity and high levels of professionalism will continue to be the hallmarks of the public service.
………………………………… Honourable Mark Brantley Minister for Human Resources 1.2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Ministry aims is to ensure that officers are knowledgeable with regards to the Rules and Regulations of the public service.

Current observations suggest that officers would benefit from programmes tailored towards the areas that concern conduct and discipline.
We hope to encourage management to apply ‘disciplinary actions’ according to the Rules and Regulations of the service, as well as to see the importance of systematic, fair and progressive staff appraisals.

Training for supervisory staff will also be conducted in an effort to revitalise and strengthen the importance of their role as a key support to the departments’ management and staff.
Subsequently, conflict management and resolution training will be done to enhance our officers’ capabilities to effectively manage and resolve normal personnel matters which may become a hindrance to both productivity and the development of positive working relationships.

Finally, at the completion of our customer service training programme for the year 2017, the Ministry 217 12 - HUMAN RESOURCES plans to develop and implement an evaluation matrix to measure the level of customer service satisfaction.
This measurement instrument will provide us with feedback from the general public and allow us to fully determine the success of the programme.

The data would be correlated and allow for the identification of both strengths and weakness in the current program.

These strengths and weakness would be addressed and corrected in future roll outs of the programme, thereby leading to long term improvements to our customer service delivery.

To the Best of my knowledge, the information: -Accurately portrays the Ministry’s mandate, priorities, strategies and plans for 2018 – 2020.
-Is consistent with the disclosure principles contained in the guidelines for preparing a Report on Plans and Priorities.

-Is comprehensive and accurate.

-Is based on credible Departmental information and management systems.

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

…………………………… Ms. Ornette Herbert Permanent Secretary Ministry of Human Resources 1.4 MAIN CHALLENGES TO ACHIEVE PORTFOLIO'S ANNUAL OBJECTIVES It is important that rules and regulations continue to be upheld and/or enforced to maintain positive attitudes and efficiency throughout the public service.
Therefore, it is deemed fit for employees to receive continuous education on the rules and regulations that govern their employment.

Although the administration receives a reasonable amount of scholarship opportunities, it has been observed that many persons tend not to take advantage of such.
In an effort to ensure that the general public is fully aware of these opportunities the Ministry will be using the various popular social media platforms such as Facebook, NIA Website and Mobile notifications to sensitize the public about these opportunities.

The expected outcome of this effort is that more persons would be made aware of the availability of these scholarships, which would lead to increased participation rates.
There is a need to ensure that persons are cognizant of the procedures for applying for financial 218 12 - HUMAN RESOURCES assistance from the NIA.

As a result, we will be providing explicit guidelines which would be made available to all prospective applicants on the NIA’s website.

The Ministry will also be undertaking the interview portion of the application process as of 2018.
The Ministry would make certain that the process does not become arduous to the public, while ensuring that it is carried out with the utmost level of professionalism and fairness.

219 12 - MINISTRY OF HUMAN RESOURCES Global Objectives To optimize human resources in the Nevis Island Administration by motivating and evaluating staff.

My Ministry will be at the forefront of creating the environment necessary for the successful planning and execution of initiatives geared towards the development of Culture, Youth, Sports, Community Development, Telecommunications and Information.

My Ministry will endeavour to support all of the sporting disciplines on Nevis.
Over the years we have seen a decline in the interest of cricket, a sport that has brought much promotion to the island, one that has seen a number of cricketers reach the international level.

My Ministry will partner with the Nevis Cricket Association to ensure that more emphasis is placed on the game and to have much more cricket been played on the island.

My Ministry has also committed to the redevelopment of the ETW Park to a standard that can host international matches.
My Ministry will also asses all sporting facilities including basketball and netball courts on the island and move to have repair and restorative work done when and where necessary.

Lighting of some grounds will also form part of the upgrade work to sporting facilities.

My Ministry is committed to partnering with all sporting associations on the island.

Our nation’s youth must form part of the thrust of the overall development of the island.
My Ministry will continue to develop programmes and initiatives that will positively impact our young people.

A number of initiatives have been developed to celebrate our youth and those will continue.

The Department of Information has over the years been providing public relations support to all government departments and has been promoting the programmes of all Ministries.

My Ministry will ensure that the Department continues to provide quality service to all government Ministries and Departments.
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.

Nevis annual Summer festival Culturama received rave reviews in 2017 and my Ministry will work diligently to maintain that momentum and enthusiasm from last year.
Preparations for the Festival have begun in earnest and they are expected to intensify over the next few months.

My Ministry will continue to partner with the private sector to ensure a very successful event in 2018.

The Ministry that I am now privileged to lead is in the vanguard of social protection and promoting social development.
As such, I expect all of our officers to work to the best of their ability to impact lives positively so that we can have real improvement in the socio-cultural environment in which we operate.

The country expects production and productivity with quality service as part and parcel of the package.

Where this is concerned, we expect to cut no corners; we expect no compromise.

We have a mandate to serve and to serve we must.


In our 2017 Manifesto, under the subject, “A Future of Opportunities and Optimism,” Social Development is one of three priority areas for this new dispensation.

This area falls essentially under my Ministry but we must be reminded that health and education are essential social services as well although they are basically standalone Ministries and do not fall under the umbrella of the Ministry of Social Services.
So we need to work with numerous stakeholders to promote social development, which is about human development, community cohesion and people empowerment.

In carrying out the mandate of the Ministry, I intend to give priority to expending the country’s financial resources on improving community facilities and amenities such as sports stadiums and community centres; assets that are used by and benefit a large number of persons.
This is not to indicate, however, that we will not assist individuals with dire needs.

But where this is concerned, we are committed to using the most effective targeting mechanism so that public assistance is provided first and foremost to individuals and families who are most in need and most at risk.

225 13 - MINISTRY OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT,YOUTH, SPORTS, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND CULTURE Further, our work encompasses encouraging sustainable livelihoods.
This is critical as sustainability does not only deal with satisfying the needs of the current population but the future population as well.

Sustainable development is a cross-cutting subject so we are prepared to partner with all stakeholders including civil society in advancing the United Nations (UN) 2030 Agenda for the realization of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
Our areas of focus are poverty eradication, good health and well-being, quality education, gender equality, and peace and justice.

These five areas are intertwined with some of the other seventeen (17) SDGs set by the UN, so progress in one area will impact other areas.

Plans are in motion to have the city of Charlestown inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site.
We want to ensure that not only Nevisians and residents are aware of our rich history and heritage but that thousands around the World will also have the opportunity to do so.
A committee has been established to spearhead the work for us to be successful and my Ministry will work very closely with the committee and provide all of the necessary support in this extremely important venture.The advantages of having Charlestown inscribed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site are numerous foremost of which will be our ability to attract a larger number of tourists with the positive spin off of a much stronger economy.
Inscription will therefore change the touristic and economic landscape of Nevis.

I call on all Nevisians and residents to lend your support where possible in our bid to make it to the enviable list of UNESCO World Heritage sites.

In the quest to accomplish the mandate of the Ministry, we are cognizant that there will be challenges.
These include but are not limited to the lack of financial resources, the need for human resource capacity building, weak and archaic legislation and our special vulnerability to natural disasters.

However, my Ministry will not be daunted by challenges.

We are committed to development that works for all people.
................................................. Honourable Eric Evelyn Minister of Social Development 1.2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY As is expected, the Ministry of Social Development is in the vanguard of social protection.

It is heavily engaged in social safety net services including social assistance such as cash transfers and food vouchers, and subsidized services such as water, electricity and public transport – services vital to poverty alleviation.
The Ministry is expansive and has under its purview the following: • • • • • • Social Services Department Department of Community Development Department of Sports Department of Youth Development Department of Information Nevis Cultural Development Foundation (NCDF) In addition, the Ministry of Social Development has its own Communications Unit and although it works closely with the Department of Information, it is separate and apart from it.
Also, there is a Building Maintenance Crew, a group of workers who work separate and apart from the Public Works Department although they may collaborate on certain projects.

Early in the ensuing year, the Ministry will establish a Social Policy and Sustainable Development Unit.

The Social Services Department is primarily concerned with providing social safety nets and social protection.

Its Family Services Division is equipped with social workers, counsellors and probation officers.
Child protection services are a major part of the Division’s work.

Probation Officers work 226 13 - MINISTRY OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT,YOUTH, SPORTS, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND CULTURE diligently to prevent and reduce juvenile delinquency.

The Senior Citizens Division organizes various types of programmes to keep seniors actively engaged in everyday life and also ensure that they are treated with dignity during the so-called golden years.
There is also the Nevis Household Registry, a unit that collects data island-wide on household resources and register families so that social assistance is channelled to those most in need, first and foremost.

At the Department of Community Development, there are Community Development Officers (CDO’s) and Community Centre Managers who are engaged in activities to promote community cohesion and to reduce deviant behaviour.
CDO’s generally supervise the Centre Managers within their respective parishes or communities.

The Department is now playing an increased role in preserving and promoting cultural traditions and as such it is reviving community festivals.

The Department of Sports is involved in the development of a very wide variety of sporting disciplines including traditional and non-traditional sports.

Currently, there is intense concentration on cricket, basketball, netball, volleyball, drag race and archery.
Training of officers in Sports Administration is now being given some priority with four persons going off to pursue studies at GC Foster College in Jamaica.

At the Department of Youth Development, there are all kinds of initiatives to empower the youth to contribute to national development.

The talents of our youths are harnessed and encouraged so that they make a positive impact on society.
There is some focus on three (3) of the proposed pillars of a successful youth strategy: education and training; employment and entrepreneurship; creativity and culture.

The Department of Information is now under the purview of the Ministry of Social Development et al.

It has the responsibility to cover events and disseminate newsworthy information on all areas of the functioning of the Nevis Island Administration (NIA).

It operates on the principle that the public has a right to know.
With the aim of cultural presentation and promotion, the Nevis Cultural Development Foundation, a statutory body, was formed some ten years ago.

There are now community festivals throughout the year to showcase the cultural art forms but Culturama is the premier festival which is celebrated annually over the Emancipation Day weekend.
In 2018, the Ministry of Social Development will establish its Social Policy and Sustainable Development Unit with the aim of advancing social policy and promoting sustainable livelihoods.

Social policy refers to principles and guidelines that affect the living conditions within a society conducive to human welfare.

It is an analysis of a society’s responses to social need.
It encompasses actions and legislation that influence the well-being of members of society through the distribution of goods and services and the access to the resources of the society.

Social policy can thus be seen as public policy and practice in vital areas such as health care, human services and education in order to improve well-being and welfare.
Virtually all societies have come to recognize the significance of sustainable development in alleviating poverty and vulnerability for present and future generations.

With the project for the implementation of the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs) adopted by the United Nations (UN) in 2000 and culminated 2015, the UN has now set seventeen (17) Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs).
According to the UN, the SDGs are a shared agenda designed to eliminate poverty, fight inequality and injustice, and protect the planet.

The core business of the Unit will be to formulate, review, develop and implement policies, strategies, programmes and projects that will impact lives positively.

In conclusion, the Ministry of Social Development is intensely involved in reducing poverty and vulnerability.
With the multi-dimensional nature of poverty, it has to craft a variety of socio-economic strategies to accomplish its goal.

The Ministry hopes to make significant progress in short order with its sustainable development agenda.
227 13 - MINISTRY OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT,YOUTH, SPORTS, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND CULTURE ................................................ Mr. Keith Glasgow Permanent Secretary Ministry of Social Development 1.3 MANAGEMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT I submit for tabling in Parliament, the annual Report on Plans and Priorities (RPP) for the Ministry of Culture, Social & Community Development, Youth & Sports Development, Information and Culture for 2018.
The document to the best of my knowledge provides an accurate representation of the Ministry’s plans and priorities for the use of resources allocated.

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

The document will serve as an essential planning tool and working guide for the operation for 2018 and beyond and will act as an evaluation tool to assess performance.
……………………...........… Mr. Keith Glasgow Permanent Secretary Ministry of Social Development 1.4 MAIN ACTIVITIES CONTRIBUTING TO THE PORTFOLIO'S ANNUAL OBJECTIVES The Ministry of Social development will undertake a number of activities in the 2018 period geared towards fulling its mandate of ensuring the protection of the most vulnerable in the society, alleviating poverty and improving living conditions for those at the bottom of the social strata.
In this regard, a holistic approach to the general care and well-being of Seniors continued to be high priority at Social Services in 2018.
This is evident through increase of seniors benefiting from Subsidized Utilities Program and free bus passes; the facilitating of hearing tests and provision of hearing aids from a US donor, free blood testing and professional guidance from a nutritionist in the execution of the seniors meal program, educational sessions in Dementia, Loneliness & Depression, nutrition and the importance of a will.
Social inclusion was again a major highlight and success as the seniors division continued weekly meeting of recreational groups but also participated in a range of government and non government social activities throughout the year.

As normal International Day of seniors celebrated with a range of activities including a march, a celebration of 8 centenarians and the first ever Seniors Beauty Pageant.
Skills training will focus on basic electrical work, hospitality preparedness, videography and a specialized small group training in glass engraving.
Families program will be scaled up to include seventeen new families from which over 100 persons will benefit from a consolidated package of cash assistance, counselling, life skills training, certificate level classes, housing assistance and a range of other government and private sector services; which over a two year period should positively impact these families poverty status.
Social Services will set up Linkages and referral network as part of their MIS that would enable various service providers across the island who are involved in Social Protection, to register their initiatives in 228 13 - MINISTRY OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT,YOUTH, SPORTS, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND CULTURE order for social workers to tap into a comprehensive data base of support services to link clients to.
This inter-linking with other Government Departments and the private sector businesses and organizations will ensure that all responsibility for social protection does not fall solely on government and will give clients a broader range of options of services to improve their lives.
229 13 - MINISTRY OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT,YOUTH, SPORTS, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND CULTURE 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.
