Institute a more cost-efficient method of recording all parliamentary and sub-committee processes.

Create an environment for the revitalisation of the Public Accounts Committee as an effective strong arm of Parliament.

34      This should be initiated in 2022 with the purchase of a new server.
Although we acknowledge a server is needed, the Department was able to purchase a small scanner and we have scanned over seventy (70) documents to soft copy.

These are currently stored on USB drives which is not the most ideal.

House of Assembly embarked upon a green programme which involved less paper usage especially with regards to documents for members.

The green programme should be back on stream in 2022.
With the purchase of 3 high powered recorders and the sound forge programme we no longer have the cost associated with purchasing tapes and other stenograph material.

This matter is in progress.

 Inquiries, Coroner’s Inquest and Liquor Licence Sessions.
STATUS OF 2021 STRATEGIC PRIORITIES STRATEGIC PRIORITIES 2021 COMMENTS  Ensuring the court system is reliable and efficient and matters are disposed of in a timely manner.

 The Senior Magistrate, on his own initiative, sourced a projector for use in the Kingstown Magistrate’s Court.
That court along with the Serious Offences Court are now fully outfitted with systems and they continue to conduct remote hearings in an effort to expedite the trial process, thus alleviating some of the challenges posed by the COVID-19 pandemic.

There was greater use of Paper Committals thus seeing more timely disposal of indictable matters in the Serious Offences Court.
STATUS OF KEY PROGRAMME STRATEGIES/ACTIVITIES 2021  To reduce the backlog of cases  The District Courts and the Serious Offences court continue to work diligently to resolve old matters.

As at August 2021:  Kingstown Magistrate’s Court criminal matters were reduced from five hundred and eighty-two (582) to three hundred and ninety-two (392).

 Civil matters show a slight decrease from four hundred and ninety-six (496) matters to four hundred and forty-six (446).
48  Serious Offences Court matters were reduced from one hundred and fifty (150) to one hundred and one (101).

 Two hundred and nine (209) criminal matters are pending altogether in District 2, while two hundred and fifty-seven (257) are pending in District 3.

 Of the five hundred and fifty-three (553) traffic matters pending, three hundred and seventy-nine (379) are matters that are not yet served.
 To dispose of matters within the recommended timelines  In keeping with the Magistrate’s Court Pre-Trial Time Limits Guidelines issued by the Chief Justice, the courts in criminal matters most often strive to conduct trials within this framework of these guidelines.

However, the greatest challenge is the length of time the case files take to go through the system but the courts always seek to strike a balance between the victims and the perpetrators.
In civil matters, the greatest challenge is non-Service of summonses due to difficulties in locating respondents at addresses given by litigants.

This contributed to a large extent in the backlog in District 1 where approximately seventy-five percent of the total civil cases originated.

The Magistracy operated from October 2017 to present with three bailiffs inclusive of a senior bailiff, due to the suspension and subsequent reassignment of one bailiff.
The Magistracy is in dialog with Services Commissions for the appointment of a temporary bailiff to ease the strain.

49  Collect outstanding fines through partnership with other state agencies  As at August 2020, accumulatively, the Magistracy collected four hundred and twelve thousand, one hundred and seventy-seven dollars and fourteen cents ($412,177.14) in fines.
This year, as at August 2021, the courts collected five hundred and thirty-three thousand, four hundred and eighteen dollars and fifty-six cents ($533,418.56).

Limited sessions were held in all courts in the early part of the year due to the World Health Organisation declared pandemic and the eruption of La Soufriere volcano, but this figure still reflects an increase in revenue of one hundred and twenty-one thousand, two hundred and forty-two dollars and forty-two cents ($121,242.42).
 Continue to work towards the automation of court records  An assessment was done by the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court on the capability of the office computers to facilitate the JEMS programme and it was determined that they do not have the capacity to install a programme of such magnitude.

In addition, persons who received training from the Eastern Caribbean Supreme Court no longer work in the department.
 To strengthen and Enhance internal capacity through continued legal education for Magistrates and training of staff  Internal training for staff members is ongoing in areas of customer service, court practices and procedures.

Magistrates attended a virtual training on judicial ethics, organized by the Judicial Education Institute from February 3-5, 2021.

STATUS OF 2021 STRATEGIC PRIORITIES STRATEGIC PRIORITIES 2021 COMMENTS  To improve the delivery of service to the most vulnerable through strengthening the capacity of family court staff and case workers through enhancing training  Workshops, conferences and meetings attended during period 2020 – 2021 include a series of workshops facilitated by the Juvenile Justice Reform Project (JJRP) and the National Commission on Gender Based Violence (NCGBV) now Gender Equality Commission (GEC) within the Ministry of National Mobilization attended by the President and Counsellors.
These meetings/conferences include: The President of the Family Court participated in two Judicial KIT Programs via zoom platform on the Advisory Committees and Judicial Commissions and Civil and Criminal Case Management program on 25th and 30th June, 2021 facilitated by the National Center for States Courts.

Consultation on Draft Sexual Offences Bill February 9, 2021, attended by President and Family Counsellor via virtual hearing.
56 Magistrates conference on Judicial Code of Conduct, Recusal & Leadership from 1st – 5th February, 2021 held via zoom and attended by the President.

Anti-violence campaign – 2020, presentation done by Ms. Luann Roberts, Family Counsellor at the Intermediate High School and Ms. Daniele Wyllie, Family Counselor at the Campden Park Secondary School, November, 2020.
One Counsellor currently pursuing online studies - Paralegal Certificate for Government Law Office Employees, effective 17th August, 2020 for a period of two years.

One Counsellor currently pursuing a doctorate in Clinical Psychology at California Southern University to be completed in 2021.
Administrative Officer I currently pursuing a Master’s Degree in Marriage and Family Therapy at Mercy College in the U.S.A  To enhance the rate of disposal of criminal and civil cases through targeted legal revisions and enhanced criminal procedure rules and practices  The greatest challenge to the disposition of criminal matters remains the inordinate length of time which files take to reach the court prosecutor with the result that victims of sexual assaults become frustrated and eventually refuse to give evidence.
Indictable matters are disposed of within 18 months of filing whereas summary matters are determined within nine (9) months of filing.

Civil matters are generally heard within 3-4 weeks of filing with the exception of cases which are referred to mediation or counselling, cases which require the preparation and presentation of social inquiry reports or those which proceed to DNA or blood testing.

57 During the period August, 2020 – July, 2021, 1829 civil matters were filed and 2079 were determined.
During the same period 160 criminal matters were filed and 163 were determined.

 To settle contentious civil matters through the use of mediation.

 During the period October 2020 – July 2021, 377 matters were referred to mediation and 364 were effectively settled, without proceeding to trial.

 To Implement court diversion programmes and continue enhancement of the rehabilitation process for children in conflict with the law.
 The Child Justice Act No 29 of 2019 which is the new legislative framework for dealing with children accused of committing offences, has been tabled in Parliament but is not yet in effect.

The Family Services department has been identified as the key agency which will bear responsibility for the implementation of diversion programmes and under the Act, a Child Justice Committee would be formed as part of the Court diversion procedures.
The legislative approach to combating Juvenile crime would be centered on preventing offending by juveniles, diversion from court proceedings and from criminal sentencing.

Until such time that the law takes effect, referrals are made by the court to Marion House for the enrollment of juvenile offenders who do not attend school, in the Youth Assistance Programme (YAP) currently being conducted at that institution.
The programme which is specifically geared towards rehabilitation and reform, exposes the offender to counseling, educational and vocational training.

The court is also empowered under section 37 of the Criminal Code, to discharge an offender without punishment, having regard to his character, antecedents, age, health and to whether the offence is of a trivial nature.

58 This section is utilized by the court in relation to juvenile offenders so as to prevent them from having a criminal record.
 Enhance the courtroom experience for vulnerable victims through the use of child friendly material and the possibility of having their evidence taken via video link.

 The Department recently purchased two anatomically correct dolls for use by child victims who give evidence in sexual offences matters.

The dolls for use by child victims who give evidence in sexual offences matters.
The dolls, which are male and female come equipped with the corresponding anatomy so that young children who are unable to verbalize the correct name of the specific body part, can identify and point out the corresponding area on the doll.

A request is to be submitted to the Ministry of Finance for the purchase of a laptop computer for the courtroom which will allow for remote court hearings, especially where child witnesses give evidence in sexual offences matters.
STATUS OF KEY PROGRAMME STRATEGIES/ACTIVITIES 2021  Promote the implementation of legislation for dealing with children in need of care and protection, juvenile offenders and vulnerable victims and witnesses by December, 2021.

(i) The Children (Care and Adoption) Act chapter 225 was amended in April, 2020 to confer jurisdiction on the Family Court so that all matters involving the care and protection of children are now being dealt with by the Family Court.
(ii) The Child Justice Act which establishes a judicial process for children accused of committing offences and which aims at protecting the rights of the child has already been tabled in Parliament and is awaiting proclamation by the Governor General.

(iii)The Witness (Special Measures) Act 2013 makes provisions for the protection of witnesses in criminal proceedings so that vulnerable victims and witnesses may be screened to a specific extent or may give evidence via live link.
 Develop a strategy to facilitate the filing and retrieval of information from a computerized system which logs judgments, orders and maintenance payments by December, 2021.

59 Judgments, orders and maintenance payments are still being logged manually.

However, the department has partnered with personnel from the Ministry of Finance to develop a software program to facilitate the filing and retrieval of information.
The design, which is in its final stages of completion, would undoubtedly allow for an increase in operational efficiency in the court.

 Reduce the number of matters that proceed to trial by settling highly contentious civil cases through the use of mediation.

During the period October, 2020 – July 2021, three hundred and seventy-seven (377) matters were referred to mediation and three hundred and sixty-four (364) were effectively settled, without proceeding to trial.

 Saint Vincent and the Grenadines through a professional and dynamic National Prosecution Service which effectively represents the people of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines with integrity and impartiality, in all criminal justice processes.
STATUS OF 2021 STRATEGIC PRIORITIES STRATEGIC PRIORITIES 2021 COMMENTS  Improved community outreach  Not achieved.

The Office of the Director of Public Prosecutions National Prosecution Service (ODPP NPS) was considerably constrained in its efforts to embark on community outreach initiatives.

In light of constraints, we will focus on a target group, the youths, and increase our school engagement from the upcoming year.
 Continuing Legal education and fostering new partnerships through ALRIGHT Conference  Achieved.

ALRIGHT 2021 took the form of a meeting series rather than a conference.

It spanned from the 16th to 26th August 2021.

 Continued revision of internal operations  Ongoing and enforced.

There is now written guidance for each sub division regarding their duties.
The Office of the DPP NPS has reviewed its opinion writing standards and case file work flows for internal, outgoing and incoming case files with a view to improving casefile management and security.

 Witness special measures and Witness Protection  A work in progress.

More witness special measures have been proposed in suitable cases.

We have addressed our mind to the need for a case-by-case risk assessment of vulnerable witnesses and families who ought to be offered Witness Protection.
76 There is need for further discussions and coordinated efforts towards standardizing and managing witness security arrangements.

 Improved cooperation amongst local criminal justice stakeholders  Continued.

There is a need to deepen coordination and improve communications in the round especially amongst state agencies.

 Enhancing reference library  Not achieved.

An injection of funds is required to acquire current practitioner’s text and materials.
 Fully digitizing the processes of the Office  Substantially achieved.

The Office of the Criminal Justice Advisor to Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean funded by the US Embassy and the UK High Commission made a generous donation of computers and other devices to the Office of the DPP NPS through a project.

This supply supplements the computers and devices provided by the State so that all sub divisions are now fully outfitted.
It enables all staff members to be able to better access the virtual case management portal and digitize their tasks.

With greater data entry support, we will fully achieve this goal.

 Addressing Process serving challenges  Work ongoing.

Process serving is performed by the Royal St. Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force.

The Office of the DPP NPS advised streamlining process serving services, principally for Magistrate Court proceedings.
There is continuous dialogue between the Royal St. Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force and the Office of the DPP with a view to improving the service.

Efforts are afoot to ensure that all process teams, serving all magistrate courts nationally, are better coordinated.

77  Legislative reform of Key Criminal Laws and procedures  Unachieved.
However, the Office of the DPP NPS has already assessed key areas for reform since 2019 and so in the upcoming year, there will be more detailed submissions and further action geared towards reform of Criminal laws and procedures.

STATUS OF KEY PROGRAMME STRATEGIES/ACTIVITIES 2021  Establishing new virtual communication forums to deliver Victim Orientation sessions and A.C.S.E.P- Anti Crime Student Engagement Program  Delayed progress.
There is a concerted effort to reevaluate approaches for the new law year beginning January 2022 mindful of the prevailing covid 19 pandemic and the increased case work load which significantly impedes the planning and execution of these initiatives.

 Coordinating and hosting our biennial ALRIGHT Conference 2021  Successfully Achieved: ALRIGHT 2021 format was converted from Conference to meeting series from 16th to 26th August 2021.
The Office of the DPP NPS hosted a number of stakeholder meetings with High Court Office, Magistrate Office, Ministry of Health ( Leadership Core and Medical Practitioners) Royal St Vincent and the Grenadines Police Force (Leadership core, Sexual Offences Unit, Legal Research and Policies Unit, Narcotics, Special Services Unit, Rapid Response Unit, Coastguard, Police IT Unit, Criminal Record Office, Process Teams, Major Crime Unit and Criminal Investigative Unit), Customs and Excise Department, Passport and Immigration Department, Financial Intelligence Unit and Prison Authorities.
We explored recurring issues and tabled proposals for reform.

The ALRIGHT team was led by DPP, an Assistant DPP, a Crown Counsel II and a Crown Counsel I with the support of the staff.

78  Improved delivery of training to all Staff  Achieved Substantially in part.

The training regimen of the Office was much more expansive than years past.

We were able to intensify our training particularly of prosecutors.
We utilized in-house training officers and invited facilitators locally and regionally to conduct sessions, in person and virtual in part.

Our staff took advantage of a number of other virtual training initiatives offered by various local and external partner agencies.

 Implementing new administrative work flows and protocols for a more efficacious functioning of the Office.

 Acheived and subject to continuous review.

 Formulating proposals for a Criminal Justice Committee  Work in progress.
These formulations follow a critical assessment of the Criminal Justice System.

They can be markers for targeted interventions to address a number of concerns including efforts to reduce case backlog and to expedite trial processes at all courts.

These proposals are in draft.

 Formulating proposals for a Witness Protection Programme  Work in progress.

The Office of the DPP has commenced dialogue with the RSVGPF as the chief agency that offers security services to witnesses in need of protection.
Further coordinating meetings are projected with a view to improving the quality of services provided.

 Equipping the Witness Special Measures Facility so that is fully adapted for the reception of evidence of vulnerable witnesses and for virtual hearings  Achieved in full.

There is a Witness Special Room at the Office of the DPP and the Victim and Witness Care Officer is central in supporting the reception of evidence from witnesses from this facility.
 Acquiring new volume of consolidated laws and new practitioners’ text to outfit the Reference Library  Outstanding.

Additional resource materials are required and the Office continues to impress the need.

Decisions of the Cabinet are communicated promptly and follow-up discussions and interaction held with the relevant offices to ensure timely and effective implementation of public policy.
 To support policy development and implementation  The Cabinet Office continues to function effectively and to discharge its responsibilities in the development and implementation of the policies of the government.

 To achieve the highest standards of service delivery  This remains a priority for the office as it provides service to a diverse range of customers in a multiplicity of areas.
96  To contribute to poverty alleviation  The Office of the Prime Minister is committed to providing financial assistance towards medical and other costs, including funeral expenses, to economically-disadvantaged persons.

To date, in excess of 175 customers have received assistance amounting to over $375,000.00 in 2021.

 To facilitate youth empowerment and development  The Office of the Prime Minister administers the Support for Education and Training Programme.
Over 500 were engaged on this programme during the 2020-2021 period.

There are currently 260 interns engaged as at the end of the third quarter of the financial year.

This programme has three components: university graduates, graduates of the St. Vincent and the Grenadines Community College, and individuals who have served this country in several areas of endeavours and who meet minimum academic standards, as established.
 To promote regional integration and diaspora engagement  The Regional Integration and Diaspora Unit (RIDU) engaged in a number of activities despite disruptions caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.

 To support public service transformation and modernization  The Department is central to the development of policies aimed at public service transformation and modernization.

 The Office provides support to all staff in the areas of continuing professional development.

Officers have received in-service, short-term and long-term training in several areas, with a significant number of individuals having earned or currently pursuing university studies up to the postgraduate level.
STATUS OF KEY PROGRAMME STRATEGIES/ACTIVITIES 2021 GENERAL ADMINISTRATION COMMENTS  Maintain up-to-date electronic databases of records pertaining to Alien’s Land-Holding Licences, Residence Permits, Works Permits and Citizenship to electronic records storage systems.

 All records are up-to-date.

97  Continue with the transfer of Cabinet documents for the period 2001 - 2003 to the electronic data management system.
 Records date back to the year 1981 have been transferred and arrangements are being made on an on-going basis to transfer records.

 Ensure that all arrangements are in place for weekly meetings of the Cabinet and that all decisions are communicated to the relevant recipients within two (2) days of their confirmation.

 Appropriate arrangements with respect to preparation for Cabinet meetings and dissemination of decisions are on target.
 Develop a plan aimed at rationalising and organising the department into functional units and, also, at evaluating and streamlining staffing so as to ensure more effective supervision and greater levels of efficiency.

 This has not been completed.

The COVID-19 pandemic, followed by the eruption of the La Soufriere volcano resulted in disruption to the normal operations of the Ministry.

Changes had to be made to adapt to the requirements as set out in the various health protocols.
Efforts will be made to have this plan completed in the next financial year.

 Provide support to as many customers as possible who require assistance to access overseas and/or highly-specialized medical services.

 The Office of the Prime Minister continues to offer support to customers in this regard.

Several changes have been successfully implemented to allow for compliance with the approved COVID-19 protocols.
 Complete the requisite arrangements for the commencement of the 2020 Cohort of the Support for Education & Training (SET) Programme, by March 2020, including advertisements, processing of applications, completion of the selection process and placement of interns.

 The tenure of the current Cohorts of the Support for Education & Training (SET) Programme has been extended and will terminate in December 2021.
This will mark the conclusion of the contractual engagement of the largest number of interns on the programme at any one time.

Adequate arrangements are to be made for the recruitment of the next Cohort.

 Convene at least two (2) development sessions for interns on the Support for Education & Training (SET) Programme.

 A total of four (4) sessions have been completed.
 Collaborate with the Office of the Director General/Finance & Planning towards the establishment of a Senior Managers Forum and the convening of regular meetings on a quarterly basis.

 One Senior Managers Meeting was held to discuss the impact of COVID-19, as well as to develop an action plan.

The requirements set out in the Management of the Public Service Act 2021 make this of even greater importance for the 2022 fiscal year.
98  Expose members of staff of the Official Residence of the Prime Minister to at least one (1) training workshop designed to enhance their capacity to carry out their functions.

GOVERNMENT PRINTERY  This was not completed due to restrictions as a result of COVID-19 pandemic.

Arrangements will be made to convene the training programme for staff at the Official Residence of the Prime Minister when conditions improve.
 Conduct an assessment of the impact of the commissioning of the new machines on the operations of the Government Printery.

 This has not been completed.

Efforts will be made to upgrade equipment during the next financial year.

 Produce a plan and priority listing of all upgrades required for the phased modernization of the Printery for the period 2021 to 2023.

 Work related to this activity commenced in 2021 but has not been completed.
There is still the need for the procurement of new machines and repairs to be done to existing machines.

Infrastructural improvements to the roof and floor are yet to be completed.

 Conduct sessions for staff of the Government Printery in Occupational Health and Safety, Customer Service Relations, Ethics, and the Regulatory Environment of the Public Service.

 The Health and Safety session was successfully completed by Dr. Reynold Murray.

The Regulatory Environment session is yet to be completed.
 Convene activities as part of the annual week of activities  Due to COVID 19 and the eruption of the La Soufriere volcano, all activities for the annual week of activities were suspended.

 Hold further consultations with the technical staff of the Information Technology Services Division (ITSD) towards ensuring the reliability and efficiency of the Management Information System (MIS) system.

REGIONAL INTEGRATION AND DIASPORA UNIT  This process is on-going.
There is need to procure new computers for this purpose.

The commissioning of the system will allow for readily accessible information to clients on the status of their files and jobs.

 Continue to work closely with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and the Office of the Prime Minister, to effectively coordinate the implementation of policies and programmes of the Caribbean Community, the OECS Economic Union, and the Association of Caribbean States in collaboration with various stakeholders.
 This activity falls within the direct mandate of RIDU.

Work in this area is ongoing and was enhanced through collaboration with all regional organizations working closer together in the fall-out of the COVID-19 pandemic and the eruption of the La Soufriere volcano.
99  Collaborate with the various local stakeholders to continue work on the implementation of key regional integration initiatives namely: The Single Market and Economy, Free Movement of Persons, Free Circulation of Goods and the Free Movement of Capital, among others.

 This strategy is an ongoing mandate of Regional Integration and Diaspora Unit and continued even while there are interruptions by the COVID-19 pandemic.
 Collaborate with the various stakeholders locally and regionally to continue the work on the implementation of regional integration initiatives namely Free Movement of Persons, Free Circulation of Goods and the Free Movement of Capital.

 As in 2020, the onset of the COVID 19 pandemic made work in this area very difficult.

Most of the regional integration initiatives were concentrated on combatting the disease especially in the areas of testing, protocols and sourcing vaccines.
 The continuous engagement and sensitization of the Vincentian populace on the importance of regional integration and the immense opportunities to which they are entitled to and are available.

 The Unit continued to work closely with the Ministry of Foreign Affairs and Trade and the Office of the prime Minister as it relates to the dissemination of regional integration information to the general public.
Again, this work was hampered due to COVID-19 and the eruption of the La Soufriere volcano in April of 2021.

 To continue to promote greater synergies between RIDU, Diaspora organizations, and local communities and groups, in an effort to achieving their mandates, and the promotion of economic growth for SVG.

 These activities are ongoing utilizing various online platforms.

In persons meetings were cancelled due to the COVID-19 pandemic.
 To promote greater synergies between RIDU and Diaspora organizations in achieving our collective mandates.

 For the most part of 2021, this activity was extremely dynamic.

There was seamless synergy between Diaspora groups and organizations coming together with the local community to assist SVG in the aftermath of the eruption of the La Soufriere volcano.
While much promotion was not done with respect to increasing economic growth, new relationships were formed with the focus on rebuilding the economy of SVG as its main priority.

 To maintain engagement with the Diaspora in creating awareness on initiatives and opportunities for economic development, particularly through investment opportunities.

 This work is ongoing and will now be better structured to promote investments as we seek to rebuild the economy.
100  Continue collaboration with organizations such as Invest SVG and the SVG Tourism Authority to improve participation off local vendors in Cultural Expositions in the Diaspora and seek markets for local products.

 This event was cancelled mainly due to COVID 19 and the eruption of the La Soufriere volcano.

PUBLIC INFORMATION SERVICES  Equip and reconfigure the API to run its cable channel on a 24-hour basis.
 Moves toward the amalgamation of the public information services made it unnecessary in all circumstances to pursue this.

 Offer live stream facility to various government departments.

 The equipment was not procured so this did not materialise.

Efforts continue to have same procured.

 Install a server to back up and save material  Equipment was not procured.

Efforts are ongoing to have this equipment procured and installed.
 Improve internet access  This is a work in progress, started by the ITSD but yet to be completed.

 Vary the way the current affairs programme “API Presents” is presented to the public to make it even more appealing to viewers  Lack of equipment to make the necessary changes and adjustments resulted in this not being accomplished.

 Connect in a more intimate way with members of the public by doing more community outreach programmes especially as it related to the “Inside Story” programme.
 Major improvements were seen in this area with the inclusion within the “Inside Story” programme of a mandatory segment focusing on the community each week.

 Coordinate information gathering and dissemination services of API, NBC Radio, VC3 and Government Ministries as Phase I of a strengthening and amalgamation of Public Information Services.

 There were major improvements in this area with serious collaboration on projects especially live projects.
The API also now airs its programmes thrice weekly on VC3 and airs a weekly radio programme on NBC.

 Train more Information Officers to operate the video cameras  This was not accomplished.

Attention was given to training the Information Cadets and new Information Officers on writing for broadcast, interviewing, etc.

 Increase focus on coverage of government projects and community events in the Grenadines.
 Due to the eruptions of the La Soufriere volcano, there were not too many government projects for coverage.

101 However, the department succeeded in covering all aspects of government interventions during and after the volcanic eruptions.

There was also a marginal increase in coverage.

 Increase TV production  This was not achieved due to the fact that the activation of the planned 24 hour programming through the cable channel was not done.

 Operationalise the National Emergency Communications Network  Terms of Reference were developed for the Revision of the Plan with support under the Technical Assistance programme of the World Bank.

However due to the volcanic emergency this result indicator was unable to commence during the first half of 2021.
Delayed to commence in the last quarter of 2021  Establish two (2) Community Emergency Response Teams (CERT)  The National Emergency Communications Network is 90% operational as of the end of August 2021.

The network has been tested on mainland during the volcanic emergency; there is almost 100 percent coverage from the summit of the volcano to headquarters, from Fancy and Chateaubelair.
Emergency vehicles and other government department vehicles have been outfitted with radios to communication to their department or NEMO.

Communities in the red and orange zones were equipped with hand held radios and NEMO was able to communicate with communities prior to and during the volcanic emergency evacuation.

386 One hundred and seventy-nine (179) radios have been installed or distributed to over 20 agencies and 6 communities.
Base stations have been installed at several clinics and police stations, but was delayed following the explosive eruptions from the volcanic eruption.

Installation continues in Bequia and Union Island in September.

The system has performed exceptional with CWSA and VINLEC also embracing this network.

This project was funded under the RDVRP project, and administered by the Ministry of Economic Planning.
 Expansion of the Tsunami Ready Communities Programme  Three Community Disaster Response Teams (CDRT) were established under the SVG Red Cross Resilient Programme, they are Buccament, Paget Farm and Magum/Overland.

 Approximately 20 Percent delivery achieved.


 Sustained Public Education programme for all hazards with a focus  No additional communities were added this year due to the volcanic emergency which has dominated NEMO’s activities for 2021.
 Continue the coordination of the COVID-19 response in collaboration with the COVID-19 task force under the National Emergency Management Structure  The ongoing COVID-19 pandemic has severely impacted the Public Education programme as face-to- face meetings and community activities were halted at the end of January 2021 following the increased number of COVID-19 active cases.
387 Despite these challenges, NEMO was able to utilise social media and online platforms leading up to the volcanic crises and post eruption to disseminate information on the La Soufriere volcano.

Several virtual community meetings were held with support from the UWI Seismic Research Centre, this attracted hundreds of persons as information on the ongoing activities at the La Soufriere volcano was disseminated.
NEMO continued to disseminate information on lahars, flood and hazards that may affect us during the hurricane season.

 Establish a District/Local Disaster management committee protocol  NEMO continue to be a member of the COVID-19 task force and support the Ministry of Health in their efforts to manage the response to this pandemic.

The NEOC was activated in March 2020 to the end of March 2021 to support the coordination of the response.
Operations then switched to the Ministry of Health as the volcanic unrest continued.

NEMO through the US Southern Command have been able to secure two field hospitals to support the response to this pandemic.

The field hospitals were received in September 2021.

 Establish Sector specific DRM for one of the Critical Sectors.

 The first draft of the District Disaster Management Protocol has been completed.

Community consultations yet to be conducted to finalise the document.

ANIMAL HEALTH AND PRODUCTION SERVICES  Increase the national livestock genetic pool .

 The pig and sheep genetic pool were enhanced.

Most of the breeding stock from the Orange Hill and Rose hall livestock stations was evacuated as a result of the volcanic eruptions and are being housed at Dumbarton.

This stock is ageing, with the cattle nucleus herd being well aged.
As a consequence of these two factors the year’s target will not be achieved; rabbit production is very low and production in the other species has been affected.

Two hundred and one (201) offspring were made available for sale: Goat - 25 Sheep – 38; Cattle – 0; Pig – 131; and Rabbit – 7.

Eighty-eight (88) offspring were sold for a total value of $8490.00 (Pig - 84 Rabbit - 4).
 Provide an efficient artificial insemination service in pigs, goats and cattle to at least 95% of requests from farmers within 24 hours.

 The evacuation of animals from the Livestock farms interrupted the A.I programme.

During the 2nd quarter only 9 farmers requested the AI service.

The number of request was even further impacted by Covid-19 physical distancing protocols.
Other factors include: late requests by some farmers, who are requesting service when optimal standing heat has past; and sows coming on heat over the weekend when the service isn't offered.

440  Provide readily available healthy day old chicks.

 A total of 48,365-day old chicks, including 16,565 layers and 31,800 broilers, were placed into production during the period under review.

This includes imported and locally produced day-old chicks.
By comparison, 47,989 were placed into production during the same period January to June 2020.

The numbers remain constant, except for 2019, when, over 103,338 birds were placed in production.

 Develop alternative feeds to facilitate high production performance in livestock.

 This activity was halted due to the volcanic eruptions.

However, the hammer mill and pelletiser were procured.

 Educate livestock farmers in Good Agricultural Practices.
 Training in proper waste management, record keeping and the maintenance of pig houses.

There has been considerable improvement in waste management.

Over 500 farm visits were made to pig farmers to discuss the importance of the SVG gaps and the need for improvement in pig production standards which will lead to certification.

Poultry farmers received training mainly on good production services for table eggs and waste management.

 Implement and monitor SVG GAPs Programme for livestock farmers.
 Poultry: Two hundred and fifty-seven (257) farm visits were conducted on 54 commercial layer and 36 broiler farms.

441 A project has been submitted for funding by CDB to assist a number of poultry farmers who wish to export table eggs to Trinidad.

The Department of Animal Health and Production in Trinidad has commenced a Risk Assessment to ascertain if the table eggs from St. Vincent would meet their import conditions.
Small Ruminants: Technical advice was provided to 313 small ruminant farmers in Animal Health and Husbandry, aspects of Good Livestock Practices (record keeping, feeding and nutrition, selection and breeding and de-worming practices were some of the main areas of focus).

Small ruminants were supplied with feed, molasses and water after the volcanic eruptions.
Animal health and production clinics commenced in the orange zone where animals received health checks and were treated for internal and external parasites.

Cattle: 70 farm visits were made to exposed farmers to Good Husbandry Practices Immediately following the volcanic eruptions, volcanic as covered all pastured in St. Vincent and Bequia, making grass availability a serious dilemma.

In addition, animals in Regions 2 and 3 were observed with conjunctivitis, which was resolved without treatment.
442 Tagging: The tagging of animals continued with farmers who volunteered to tag their animals and who had valid farmer’s identification cards.

All animals transferred from the “Red zones were tagged.

Needed with urgency are regulations to the “Theft of Agriculture Produce and Livestock Act” to make mandatory the identification of all livestock.

 Conduct feed trials on available forage materials to improve reminant productive performances.

 This activity was halted due to the volcanic eruptions.
Construction work on a silage bunker at Dumbarton is 90% completed.

Approximately 300lbs of Napier grass was converted to hay at the Feed Processing and Research Centre.

One hundred and eight pounds (dry matter) of brewer’s grain was delivered to a small ruminant farmer in Fountain.

 Conduct thematic disease surveillance to ascertain the incidence of animal diseases of economic importance in St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
 Passive surveillance for the Tropical Bont tick (vector of agent of Heart water disease) is ongoing: 881 sheep, goats and cattle were inspected.

Sampling is ongoing for Anaplasmosis (another tick born disease).

Johnes disease, Brucellosis, Chlamydia and Tuberculosis surveillance will be conducted during the second half of the year.

Due to the volcanic eruptions and Covid-19 related physical distancing protocols, there were not many farmer request for farm visits.
443  Conduct field diagnosis through an efficient laboratory support during the delivery of clinical ambulatory services.

 The laboratory provided support through the analysis of 158 samples (blood, faeces and skin scrapings) submitted by officers during the period.

This figure is lower than expected due to the volcanic eruption.

 Monitor and control the trade in animal products through port surveillance.

 Four hundred and ninety-nine (499) permits were issued during the first half of the year.
A total of 3,876,351.47 kg of meat and meat products were inspected upon importation into St. Vincent and the Grenadines at a value of EC$ 20,221,378.85 during the period under review.

Other meat and meat products of 738,378.26 kg were inspected at a value of EC$5,371,904.21 A total of nine (9) major incidents concerning irregular shipments of meat, meat products or animals took place during the first half of the year.

 Strengthen technical support provided to the small ruminants, pigs, pultry and cattle farmers associations.

 Cattle: Twenty-two (22) farm visits were conducted to cattle clusters.

10 heads of cattle from the clusters that were exported to Grenada.
444 Poultry: During the first quarter, emphasis was placed on keeping an updated daily journal all on farms activity where records are not habitually kept.

21 Farmers received Record Journals designed and produced by AHPD.

There was a reduction in the daily productive output during the month of April.
This can be attributed to: 1. the culling of birds by some farmers; 2. eruptions related loss of flock and infrastructure on farms within the red zone; and 3. the rationing of water by the CWSA during the volcanic eruptions.

FISHERIES  Explore the opportunities for fleet expansion  There was a reduction of the High Seas Tuna Long Line Fleet from thirty-three (33) to four (4) fishing vessels.

Notice was given for the full termination by the end of first quarter, 2022.

 Strengthen advocacy on non-traditional security issues while serving as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council.

 There are numerous contemporary drivers of conflict and instability such as climate change, pandemics and cyber- attacks.
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines believes that these drivers have multiple implications on the global community, including peace and security, and they should have a more prominent role on the Security Council’s agenda given that they can aggravate and worsen the effects of conflict.
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines has advocated for these non-traditional/ contemporary security issues in the following ways: 653 Organising a virtual open debate on “Contemporary drivers of conflict and insecurity”, during its Presidency of the Security Council in November 2020.

The outcome of this debate was an analytical summary including a list of recommendations for action.
Supporting a resolution on Climate and Security to achieve a more comprehensive and systematic approach on climate-security risks.

The IEG members continue to work on a draft resolution to be presented to the Security Council membership in September 2021.

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is also a member of the Group of Friends on Climate and Security, a grouping with growing membership across the UN General Assembly.

FOREIGN MISSIONS  Actively participate in meetings and conferences that are vital to the nation’s development during 2021 to ensure that targets established in the National Economic and Social Development Plan 2015 – 2025 are achieved.

All formal meetings of the OAS, including meetings of the Permanent Council and the General Assembly.

All meetings of the ALBA-TCP.

656 The foreign missions collectively attended approximately 1,700 meetings over the period.

 Engage Saint Vincent and the Grenadines’ Honorary Consuls in pursuit of national development goals.
 Pursuant to the Revised Framework Guidelines for the functioning of Honorary Consuls which was adopted in 2015, the role of Honorary Consuls in representing the interests of Vincentian nationals in far flung regions of the world cannot be underestimated.

Additionally, Honorary Consuls assists the national development agenda by securing necessary assistance through grant funding, technical assistance and donation of supplies and equipment.
Heads of Missions can attest to this based on Honorary Consuls’ efforts to develop partnership with key officials and persons in various parts of the world.

For instance, Dr. Ackermann, Honorary Consul in Germany, assisted the Economic Planning Department and the SVG Community College in securing funding towards the purchase of Maritime Firefighting Simulators, which would assist in building a cadre of well-trained Seafarers.
 The Missions continue to actively identify well qualified professionals to be considered for appointment as Honorary Consuls in countries across the world, to assist with employment creation, investment promotion, tourism marketing and assistance to key development areas such as education, health, agriculture and transportation.

 During the period under review, three Honorary Consuls were appointed in Japan, Indian and Germany.
The Missions are mandated to engage in regular dialogue with these appointees to provide focus areas that will result in benefits for the development of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

 Solidify partnership with various Diaspora groups and Investors for socio-economic and cultural development of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
 The Missions in the United States of America, Canada and the United Kingdom continue to formulate outreach initiatives to strengthen the State’s partnership with the Vincentian diaspora in these countries.

657 In the aftermath of the volcanic eruptions, the Missions successfully coordinated a series of emergency relief supplies and monetary donations from various diaspora groups.
Similarly, the Embassy in Taiwan is presently engaged in promoting Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and by extension Caribbean culture in Taiwan.

Critical in this process is the involvement of notable Vincentians living, working and studying in Taiwan.
In an effort to attract trade and investment opportunities and to promote Saint Vincent and the Grenadines as the ideal tourist destination, the Trade and Investment Promotions Officer in North America, resident in New York is presently pursuing several initiatives.

During the period under review, a number of activities aimed at promoting socio-economic growth and development in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines has been undertaken.
The activities include investment opportunities and export promotion opportunities for goods and services.

Below contains a synopsis of these interactions.

VincyFresh Ltd.

The Ministry continues to work closely with VincyFresh Ltd. to promote and secure markets for Vincentian products in North America.
Initiatives also include finding buyers for products currently in dock storage in Miami, and more recently, securing the interest of an investor to enhance the exporting capabilities of VincyFresh Ltd. vis-a-vis vacuum sealed produce from Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

This has resulted in VincyFresh sauces, cordials and marinades sold in supermarkets across the tri-state area.

More specifically, Brooklyn, Queens and New Jersey.
Currently, the products are also being sold in gas station mini marts and other outlets in Texas.

658 Major supermarket brands such as Howard E. Butt (H-E-B) and the major supermarket HEB and the Texas Institute of the Culinary Arts have also been engaged.

Additionally, authorised exclusive distributor agreements have been drafted with two North American companies.

The first with TX Outdoor LLC, authorising the principals for distribution in Texas, California, and possibly China.
The other is with Goldensilver Holdings Inc. as an exclusive distributor of the Winfresh sauces, cordials, fruits and vegetables, and marinades in Florida and internet orders pertaining to distribution locations.
Goldensilver Holdings Inc. has also agreed to the injection of US$5million into the upgrade and expansion of the current facilities at VincyFresh to allow increased capacity so that they could meet the demand for requested supplies in the new and emerging markets and to facilitate the vacuum sealed produce initiative.
Proposal for Investment in VincyFresh Ltd. VincyFresh Ltd., which trades under the brand Winfresh, is dedicated to producing value-added products for local consumption as well as for export to overseas markets.

The company works closely with local farmers to provide an array of products which includes, but is not limited to sauces, marinades, seasonings and so forth.
The proposed investment submitted by Mr. Rasheed Walters for consideration, focuses on the expansion of the company and the brand, new product development, food business technical assistance, and further penetration of the US market.

Mr. Walters, who is from Boston, works with companies and investors, viz asset management and acquisitions, private equity, venture capital, investments and renewed energy.
659 He is also partnered with Lohas Capital based in Austin, Texas and is of the belief that the expansion of VincyFresh and the production of more value-added products will only serve to open multiple export opportunities and lead to supplying major named grocery stores and wholefood traders within the US, UK, and CARICOM markets.

Discussions have commenced into the most optimal shipping arrangement for this initiative.
Review of Vincentian Produce for Export The Ministry, in collaboration with colleagues from the Embassy of Saint Vincent and Grenadines to the United States of America, engaged in a review of the export-ready farm-gate produce for export.

These farm-gate products were matched against the approved list of goods for entry into the USA under the various agreements such as CBERA.
A more US specific list was further developed, and a report generated from this meeting would have been formally submitted by the Embassy.

Enquiries were made as to whether or not the supply could meet the demand, what initiatives have been or are being considered to aid in this venture, the success of clustering, and whether or not agricultural products such as pepper sauce, seasonings and other agro processed goods were being considered.
The High Commission of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines also sought to identify niche markets in the United Kingdom and European Union.

Discussions were held with two (2) potential marketing agencies: JAMPRO Europe Division and Fresh Produce Consortium (FPC).

Additionally, market places were identified in the UK for agricultural products, namely New SpitalFields Markets and New Covent Gardens Market.
These initiatives were delayed due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the Ministry’s response to the explosive eruption of the volcano.

Agriculture Africa Region 1.

The Soil Fertility Map Project has been extended to Governments of the OECS by the Government of the Kingdom of Morocco.

The Project is implemented in the OECS Member States by technical staff and scientists from the Moroccan National Institute of Agronomic Research (INRA).

It adds value to the regional agricultural sector as soil fertility data is often outdated and does not necessarily maximise crop yield.
Additionally, the project provides fertilisers and funding to Member States.

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines in 2019 obtained a quantity of 3,200 bags (160 MT) of fertiliser and a sum of Eastern Caribbean dollars one hundred and ten thousand, nine hundred and forty-eight dollars and forty-one cents (XCD110,948.41).

670 The project was extended for an additional two years in 2019, experts were scheduled to convene a meeting in April 2020, but this meeting was postponed as a consequence of COVID-19.
In May 2021, Morocco highlighted the importance of the project and requested the details of the Project Coordinator to facilitate virtual meetings as a consequence of the ongoing pandemic.

In July 2021, Morocco gave approval to resume the Fertilisers Shipment Programme for the years 2020 and 2021.

The next shipment of 160 tons of fertiliser is expected in October 2021 which would be followed by another shipment in January/February 2022.

The Seasonal Agricultural Workers Programme is a Canadian Government programme that was introduced over 50 years ago between Canada and Jamaica and has expanded through the years to include Mexico and other Caribbean countries including Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

The programme is a Canadian Federal Government guest worker programme allowing employers to hire temporary foreign workers when Canadians and permanent residents are not available.
The workers can be hired for a maximum period of eight months between January 1 and December 15, provided they can offer the employers a minimum of 240 hours of work within a period of six weeks or less.

Workers from Saint Vincent and the Grenadines are required to have some experience in farming, be at least 18 years of age, be a citizen of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and able to satisfy immigration laws of both countries.
This programme is currently administered through the Ministry of Agriculture, Forestry, Fisheries, Rural Transformation, Industry and Labour.

A total number of 325 Vincentians participated in this programme in 2020.

In 2021, the first charter flight was scheduled to depart 672 St. Vincent and the Grenadines on April 9th but was delayed as a result of the explosive eruption of the La Soufrière volcano and the subsequent implementation of emergency security measures.
Despite, the practical challenges in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, three charter flights were mobilised to move 318 OECS nationals to Canada – including 152 workers from Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, many of whom are from communities in the red or orange zones and have been staying in shelters since the volcanic eruption.
It is worth noting that these workers, along with their fellow OECS counterparts are gainfully employed and able to support their families and communities – this is especially important to the ongoing relief and rebuilding efforts in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.
The OECS Commission, through its Eastern Caribbean Liaison Service (ECLS), continues expanding participation in the programme which saw over 1,000 OECS workers in 2020 contributing approximately EC$37 million dollars in remittances among the OECS and with similar expectations for 2021, amid the travel limitations and health risks caused by the COVID-19 pandemic.
673 II.The 2021 Regional Fund for Triangular Cooperation in Latin America and the Caribbean is a collaborative effort between the German Agency for International Cooperation and the Republic of Argentina.

The regional project for 2021 is titled "Strengthening the Management of Water and Soil Resources for the Sustainability of the Agro-Food Systems of the Caribbean Countries in the Context of the COVID-19 Pandemic."
This triangular cooperation project serves as a bridge between North-South and South-South cooperation arrangements and is an instrument for supporting strategic partnerships in meeting global challenges together.

Additionally, the general objective of the project is to begin building participatory planning strategies to implement technologies focused on governance and sustainable management of water and soil resources, within the context of the COVID-19 pandemic.
III.The governments of the United States and the United Arab Emirates have announced plans to launch an Agriculture Innovation Mission for Climate (AIM for Climate) in November 2021, at COP 26.

The goal is to increase global innovation research and development in agriculture and food systems in support of climate action aimed at meeting nutritional needs, building climate change 674 resilience, improving livelihoods, and reducing greenhouse gas emissions.
The goal is to increase and accelerate global innovation, research and development (R&D) on agriculture and food systems in support of climate action.

AIM for Climate will focus on, and promote coordination between three main investment channels:  Scientific breakthroughs via basic agricultural research through national-level government agricultural R&D and academic research institutions.
 Public and private applied innovation and R&D for development through support to international research centers, institutions, and laboratory networks.

 Development and deployment of practical, actionable research and information to producers and other market participants, utilising national agricultural research extension systems.

The Government of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is invited to participate in this initiative as a governmental partner.

 Increase Saint Vincent and the Grenadines’ participation within regional and international organisations to enhance the country’s profile and promote the national interests of the country;  To ensure that Saint Vincent and the Grenadines’ national interests are kept at the forefront when participating in the various international forums, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines’ diplomats are guided by the National Economics and Social Development Plan 2013-2025, Cabinet policies and the various declarations, resolutions and international conventions and laws the country has supported and/or adopted.
693 The focus this year was heavily based on managing, responding to and recovering from the COVID-19 pandemic, regional integration and cooperation, international cooperation and partnerships, SIDS issues including the creation of a SIDS vulnerability index, climate change, reparations, de-risking and other challenges in the financial sector, unilateral coercive measures, as part of the country’s Security Council obligations and the maintenance of international peace and security.
Given that many meetings were held virtually or accepted pre-recorded statements, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines were able to ensure high-level participation in various fora, as well as participate in a wide variety of high level meetings of national interest.

Some of these include:  All OECS and CARICOM High-Level Meetings.

 75th Session of the United Nations General Assembly, its High-Level General Debate and several High-Level meetings held during that period.

694 Over the period, approximately 1605 meetings were attended.
These meetings covered a wide variety of thematic foci.

 Continue the provision of consular assistance to nationals and foreign residents in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, in keeping with due process of international law;  The Ministry, through the Department of Foreign Policy and Research -Protocol and Consular Unit and the Overseas Mission continued to provide quality consular services to Vincentian citizenry and foreign nationals.
Taking into the account the on-going COVID-19 pandemic and the explosive eruption of the La Soufriere Volcano which disrupted the modus operandi of how various services were acquired, the Ministry initiated several measures to meet the needs of both nationals and non-nationals in making enquiries, presenting credentials, conducting courtesy calls, acquiring visas, birth, marriage and death certificates and travel documents.
These new initiatives were implemented to safeguard the health and wellbeing of all persons.
The following are some of the measures that were implemented;  Overseas Missions:  Staff was placed on a rotation system;  Utilisation of mobile phones to provide guidance to nationals;  Meetings were conducted virtually  Protocol and Consular Unit:  Courtesy calls and presentation of credentials were conducted virtually;  Publishing of press releases on changes to immigration rules and visa regimes;  Partnered with ITSD to create a database to register non-nationals requiring evacuation;  Updating of Visa Requirement List, protocol guidelines and frequent COVID-19 Protocols; and  A monthly segment on API Bi-Weekly Television Programme.
695  Regularly consult and update overseas representatives at the Diplomatic and Consular level, to ensure communication of pertinent information to their functioning;  Actively participate as a non-permanent member of the United Nations Security Council and lobby members of the Council on issues with national implications;  In an effort to improve communication and coordination with Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Overseas Missions, monthly meetings are held between senior officers in the Ministry and the Missions where strategies, issues, and foreign policy directives are discussed.
More frequent meetings were held to coordinate the volcanic relief efforts following the volcanic eruptions.

Expert level meetings are also held monthly between the UN and Capital experts to coordinate activities under the UN Security Council.
The Biannual Consultation for Saint Vincent and the Grenadines’ Heads of Missions and Consulates was scheduled to take place during the period under review; however, it was rescheduled for the 1st quarter of 2022 due to the COVID-19 pandemic and the explosive volcanic eruption.
 As Saint Vincent and the Grenadines draws towards the end of its membership on the Security Council, the Ministry boasts full attendance at all formal meetings of the UNSC and successfully making contributions on the promotion and maintenance of international peace and security and in the areas of national interest highlighted in our UNSC campaign.
The past few decades have seen an emergence of new themes within security, notably food security, climate change, pandemics and other risks to human development and survival, in contrast to the traditional definition of security which focused on national and military threats.
696 Saint Vincent and the Grenadines has been one of the Security Council’s foremost members advocating for more consideration to be placed on these contemporary threats to international peace and security and believes that international peace and security in contemporary times requires a pragmatic, system-wide approach to peacekeeping and peacebuilding to adequately address these new threats.
As such, our flagship event during our month as President of the Security Council, was on “Contemporary drivers of conflict and insecurity”, with a focus on climate and security, pandemics, and the nexus between sustainable development and security.
Additionally, in order to highlight the importance of a whole of system approach, as well as to ensure that impact of root causes and contemporary issues to peace and security are fully explored and considered, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines currently occupies one of the seven seats allocated to members of the Security Council on the Peacebuilding Commission.
The Nexus between climate and international peace and security is significant to Saint Vincent and the Grenadines as a Small Island Developing State (SIDS) standing at the front line of climate change.
On the Council, we have been working along with like-minded states to:  Push for a resolution on Climate and Security  Highlight in UNSC products the link between peace and security and socioeconomic circumstances (sustainable development) of countries in conflict 697  Creation of an Informal Experts Group of Members of the Security Council on Climate and Security.
Through these interventions and initiatives, we hope to raise the profile of climate change mitigation and adaptation on the wider international agenda, by creating more research around, and support by states, for climate action and consideration in conflicts around the world.
Additionally, the UNSC has been successfully used as an avenue to strengthen ties and cooperation with the African continent, through cooperation with the three African Member States on the Council (A3) in 2020 and 2021, in the A3+1 (A3+Saint Vincent and the Grenadines) formulation.

Through this mechanism, A3+1 has coordinated engagement in areas of mutual interest to deliver joint statements and collaborate in important discussions and negotiations.
This is considered to be a historic innovation in the constructive advancement of African-Caribbean unity and will help to facilitate the institutionalisation of the Africa, Brazil, Caribbean and Diaspora initiative.
The A3+1 formulation has in a large part ensured that Saint Vincent and the Grenadines opinions, ideas and initiative have greater bargaining power within the Council as we lead on Latin America and Caribbean issues and some thematic areas, while the A3 benefits from Saint Vincent and the Grenadines support on many African countries issues and thematic focus.
 Coordinate Saint Vincent and the Grenadines’ chairmanship in various committees and organs of regional and international bodies;  The Ministry continues to provide quality service and leadership and exert its influence in several regional and international organisations to the benefit of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines’ and the region’s interest.
698 UN and UNSC Saint Vincent and the Grenadines continues to hold a seat on the United Nations Security Council until December 31, 2021 and held the Presidency of the Council in November 2020.

During that time, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines accomplished the following under its leadership roles: Hosted a High-Level Open Debate on “Contemporary drivers of conflict and insecurity”, with a focus on climate and security, pandemics and the nexus between sustainable development and security.
The event was chaired by the Prime Minister of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and participation by eight (8) other Foreign Ministers.
Based on the discussions and recommendations made within the framework of the Security Council Informal Working Group on Documentation and Other Procedural Questions (IWG), Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, in its capacity as Chair of the IWG was able to pass the below mentioned notes, geared towards enhancing the Council’s efficiency, transparency, effectiveness and interactivity vis-à-vis the wider membership of the United Nations.
They are: Preparation and training opportunities for incoming elected members (S/2021/645) The role of coordinators in Permanent Missions with respect to the implementation of the Council’s working methods (S/2021/646) Monthly working methods commitments of Council presidencies (S/2021/647) Multilingualism (S/2021/648) 699 Many of the notes that were drafted and presented by Saint Vincent and the Grenadines were informed by the discussions that took place among Working Group members at the retreat held in Vincent and the Grenadines in January 2020, as well as discussions that took place at meetings of the working Group, and Open Debates of the Security Council.
SVG will continue engaging with members of the Working Group to adopt additional notes that address various aspects of the Council’s work, including the Security Council’s agility and readiness for future circumstances that may impact the Council’s ability to conduct its work under ordinary circumstances.
The Yemen Sanctions Committee continues to meet periodically, under the Chairmanship of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines’ Ambassador I. Rhonda King, to discuss primarily the reports submitted to it by the Panel of Experts and the sanctions list, pursuant to its mandate.

Additionally, discussions are taking place for a Chair’s visit to the region.
The proposal of the Chair’s trip was made on the basis that such engagement with stakeholders on the ground would be conducive to the work of the Committee, notably in support of the Panel of Experts.

The terms of reference for the trip are currently being discussed in the Committee, and the logistical details are still to be finalised.

The state continues to be the Spokesperson for the L69 Group, where it focuses on collective action for Security Council reform.

This is an ongoing process.


Saint Vincent and the Grenadines’ Ambassador I. Rhonda King was selected as one of the co-facilitators of the intergovernmental phase of the 2020 review of the Peacebuilding Architecture, a role which was performed very efficiently.
700 In addition, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines was selected as a member of the Peacebuilding Commission from the Security Council, one of only two non-permanent members of the Security Council selected for this seat for the year 2021, ending December 31st 1 2021.

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines has also put forward its candidature, through GRULAC, for another seat on the Peacebuilding Commission as a General Assembly member for the term 2023-2024.
ACS Saint Vincent and the Grenadines served as Vice-Chair of the Association of Caribbean States (ACS) Special Committee for Trade and External Development, for the period 2020-2021.

Ably assisted by the ACS Secretariat, the country was able to carry out all its functions as Vice-Chair and assisted the Chair as needed and appropriate.
CELAC Saint Vincent and the Grenadines has long been a proponent for regional integration and south-south cooperation and has been an active member of CELAC since its creation in 2011.

After careful consideration, and the desire of many states within the organisation to have a member of CARICOM hold the Pro Tempore Presidency, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines graciously accepted the confidence expressed by several Member States to assume the role in 2022.
The role will place Saint Vincent and the Grenadines at the forefront of the second-largest regional organisation in the region, which works towards political, social, and cultural integration of the region, improve its quality of life, stimulate its economic growth, and advance the well-being of all of its people.

The election is scheduled to be held on September 18, 2021.

 Expand Saint Vincent and the Grenadines’ diplomatic and consular representation abroad by December 2021.
 A proposal has been made for the Government of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines to open a Consulate General in the United Arab Emirates (Dubai).

701 There are several outstanding requests for the appointment of Honorary Consuls.

There is currently low representation of Honorary Consuls of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines in Africa.

Similarly, in the Caribbean region, Honorary Consuls have been largely playing a role for the interest and welfare of Vincentian students.
This has redounded in many instances, specifically in Jamaica, to educational and employment opportunities for Vincentian students.

To this end, the Ministry will seek to appoint Honorary Consuls in Trinidad and Tobago and Barbados, where significant portions of Vincentian reside.

In the wider Americas, contributions have been largely in collaboration with diaspora groups.
Notwithstanding, the Ministry in coordination with the Embassy to the United States of America/Non-Resident High Commission to Canada and the Embassies in Cuba and Venezuela, respectively, will conduct an exercise to identify suitable candidates to serve as Honorary Consuls in key cities across Canada, United States and Latin America.
In the Europe Region, Honorary Consuls primarily work through the High Commission of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines in London to provide bursaries to Vincentian students at the beginning of each school year.

In 2020, 143 students from across St. Vincent and the Grenadines benefitted from the annual Cenio Lewis Education Fund, receiving $400 each.
The Fund which was established in 2005 is replenished yearly by generous donations from Honorary Consuls, organisations in metropolitan cities, and Vincentians in the diaspora wishing to contribute to the development of education in Saint Vincent and the Grenadines.

Additionally, the following donations were made by Honorary Consuls for the current period: 702 1.

Honorary Consul for Germany (Designate) - Contribution of €50,000 towards the Maritime Training Initiative; 2.
Honorary Consul for Greece – US$10,000 for volcano relief efforts, and 3.

Honorary Consul for Monaco - €500 for volcano relief efforts In the Asia/Oceania and Middle East Region work must be continually ongoing for robust presence and returns through Honorary Consuls.

However, it must be noted that, in some instances, follow-up on initiatives with Line Ministries is extremely slow and as a result opportunities are delayed or missed.
 Actively monitor the reporting cycles of treaty bodies to which Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is part to ensure Saint Vincent and the Grenadines is compliant to its international obligations;  The National Human Rights Monitoring and Reporting Mechanism (NHRM) has completed the first draft of the third cycle National report for the Universal Periodic Review (UPR).
Additionally, work has commenced on the national report for the Convention on the Elimination of all Forms of Discrimination against Women (CEDAW).

Both reports should be finalized by the end of 2021.

Saint Vincent and the Grenadines will have its dialogue with the UPR Working Group on November 2, 2021.
Discussions were held with the Commonwealth Secretariat as well as the Regional Coordinator of the Office of the High Commissioner of Human Rights for the Anglo-Caribbean for assistance in completing the country’s Common Core Document on human rights and to continue to clear the backlog of outstanding core United Nations human rights treaty bodies reports.
The NHRM met only once during the reporting period due to COVID-19 restrictions as well disruptions cause by COVID-19 and the volcanic eruption, and held one training seminar for the UPR.

The Ministry continues to make progress on the reporting obligations for a number of security and disarmament-related files.
It has completed: 703  Initial report under the Arms Trade Treaty (ATT)  Saint Vincent and the Grenadines’ Overview Implementation Assessment Report for the Inter American Convention Against the Illicit Manufacturing of and Trafficking in Firearms, Ammunition, Explosives, and Other Related Materials (CIFTA) Convention As a matter of priority, the Ministry will endeavour to update its common core document as doing so will significantly shorten the length of time needed to complete other human rights reports and open up the possibility of using the simplified reporting procedure for outstanding reports.
Security-related reports will also continue to be given priority given Saint Vincent and the Grenadines’ role on the UN Security Council, and that such reports are referenced in the council’s meetings.

STATUS OF 2021 STRATEGIC PRIORITIES STRATEGIC PRIORITIES 2021 COMMENTS  To enhance and intensify marketing and public relations programmes that convert awareness into interest and increase visitor arrivals and expenditure.

 Marketing and Public Relations programmes have been impacted negatively by the COVID-19 pandemic and the eruption of the La Soufriere volcano.

A digital marketing campaign will begin in October 2021 and a new website will be launched.
 To engage in continued efforts to attract additional legacy and low-cost international airlines and sustain non-stop flights to the destination.

 Virgin Atlantic will commence weekly flights on October 13th twice weekly (Wednesdays and Sundays).

They will join other international carriers such as Air Canada, Caribbean Airlines, and American Airlines.
 To encourage direct and indirect tourism service providers in the destination to provide internationally accepted minimum standards and services and to monitor and enforce the regulations that govern the standards.

 The St. Vincent and the Grenadines Tourism Authority continues to encourage tourism service providers to accept minimum standards.

We have seen a vast improvement in the number of service providers that have signed up to be “Tourism Approved”.
724  Promote effective management and conservation of parks and protected areas through among other things, resource mobilisation, implementation of new regulations, declaration of Protected Areas and management effective assessment.

 Both COVID-19 and the eruption of the La Soufriere Volcano impacted negatively on visitation to sites as well as revenue generated from user fees.
This created financial constraints that required prudent management of financial resources with emphasis on alternative sources of funding.

Three (3) project proposals have been submitted as a strategy to narrow the NPRBA financing gap and to diversify its income streamto support key work programmes.

The referenced proposals are as follows: 1.

The Cumberland Trail; 2.

Rehabilitation Project; and 3.

SVG Sea Turtle Conservation and Associated Livelihood Project.
Management and operation of thirteen (13) park and recreation sites continued with periods of closure due to COVID 19 and the explosive eruption of La Soufriere Volcano.

To date, since the explosive eruption in April, 2021 nine (9) sites are now operational following rehabilitation work with on-going site opening status posted on the NPRBA website and social media platforms.
Three (3) sites located in the volcanic hazard red zone remain closed: namely Dark View Falls Recreation Park, La Soufriere Cross Country Trail and Owia Salt Pond Recreation Park.

These sites will require substantial financial and material resources to facilitate their restoration and re-opening.

The COVID-19 pandemic continues to impact NPRBA parks and recreation sites in several ways; most noticeably through the contraction in both visitor numbers and site revenue.
725 Nonetheless, the NPRBA has strived to institute several containment and preventative measures to reduce the spread of infection at sites.

These measures included the preparation and implementation of the COVID-19 Guidelines/Protocols for Parks and Recreation Sites, monitoring for compliance, staff training, signage and social media postings, installation of hand-sanitizing stations and site closure on public holidays.
The NPRBA has completed a post-disaster assessment for parks and recreation sites as part of the Government’s Post Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA) consequent upon the explosive eruption the La Soufriere Volcano.

The PDNA report showed an overall damage and recovery cost of $1,498,250.00 for the NPRBA sites.

Work continued with the support of the Legal Affairs Department on the finalization of the draft Parks and Protected Areas Regulations.
These instruments will provide critical support to enhance management, sustainable financing and the declaration of new and existing sites.

The aspect of the protected areas monitoring through the use of the protected areas management effectiveness (PAME) tracking tool was rescheduled due to unavailability of supporting stakeholders.

NPRBA intends to undertake this work by the end of 2021.

 Promote awareness and stakeholder engagement to foster support for the conservation of parks and protected areas.
 The National Parks, Rivers and Beaches Authority (NPRBA) is cognizant of the need for meaningful and ongoing engagement with a diverse range of stakeholders as it seeks to achieve its mandate.

726 In the prevailing circumstances of the COVID 19 and the post-La Soufriere Volcanic eruption, the NPRBA’s public awareness and outreach program was essentially fulfilled through virtual platforms such as Facebook® campaigns, video clippings, posters, awareness articles, Zoom® interviews and radio programs.
The enhanced production and circulation of the NPRBA’s electronic Newsletter continue as a main communication and awareness medium to inform the general public on the work of the institution and as a source of information to heighten awareness and foster stewardship on specific conservation issues.

 Incorporate climate change and ecosystem-based adaptation initiatives within the institution’s work program and plans.
 The SVG National Parks and Protected Areas System Plan 2009-2014 is expected to benefit from revision under the GEF-6 “Conserving biodiversity and reducing land degradation using a Ridge to Reef approach Project 2019-2023” through the incorporation of climate change and risk reduction measures in parks and protected area management.

Although the GEF 6 project has commenced under the Ministry of Agriculture etc., the expected support through this project has not yet materialized.
Given that the System Plan is the blueprint for parks and protected areas management in SVG, the NPRBA working with the project steering committee, will seek prioritization of this project component.

Several parks and recreation sites, especially those in close proximity to streams and coastlines, continue to be impacted by climate related events.
727 To this end, the NPRBA intends to incorporate climate change adaptation and risk reduction measures into management plans of two (2) parks aimed at strengthening their resilience by the end of 2021.
Notwithstanding the challenges, several sites have been added to the coastal monitoring program in keeping with the NPRBA work plan where in the collection of water quality and beach profile data serves as a useful management purpose in the context of human- and climate-related impacts that affect sensitive coastal and marine ecosystems.

 Continue to build awareness among the populace about the importance of tourism to the socio-economic development of St. Vincent and the Grenadines.
 A Virtual Tourism Stakeholders’ Conference was hosted to provide a forum for industry leaders and stakeholders to collaboratively and strategically plan the restart of the Tourism and Hospitality Industry.

Tourism Stakeholders’ Consultations were held with stakeholders within the eight (8) subsectors of the Tourism and Hospitality Industry to strengthen private-public partnerships.
Information related to the Ministry’s programmes and plans, continues to be disseminated through social media platforms, press releases, radio and television interviews.

 Continue to develop and implement programmes that would efficiently preserve and protect the cultural heritage which will aid in the development and growth of the Creative and Cultural Industries (CCI).
 The continued effects of the COVID-19 Pandemic compounded by the explosive eruptions of the La Soufriere Volcano significantly hindered the full implementations of most of our programming; some of our programmes were only partially achieved.

728 Two (2) consultation sessions were completed to date, with plans to complete 3 more during the fourth quarter.
These consultations include getting the relevant feedback about the arts from various stakeholders to address their needs to aid in the further growth of the organizations and by extension the arts whilst promoting and or fostering best practices.

Completed three (3) workshops in dance that engaged schools and communities and provide pertinent information on technique and choreography.
The Dance Unit continues to nurture inclusivity; Plans are in place for the inclusion and or involvement of students from the School for Children with Special Needs.

NATIONAL PARKS AND RIVERS AUTHORITY  Prudent management of NPRBA resources, bolstering of present income streams and diversification of the institution’s revenue base to include grant funding, donations and new income-generation measures giving special consideration to the financial impacts of COVID-19.

 During the period January to July 2021, the institution continues to manage its expenditure in keeping with budgetary line items.
It also understood cost-saving measures were necessary without compromising the fulfillment of work activities.

Both the COVID-19 pandemic and the explosive eruptions of the La Soufriere Volcano impacted visitation to parks and recreation sites.

Consequently, site revenue from user fee was significantly reduced by over 90% when compared to the similar period in 2020.
738 Notwithstanding the financial constraints experienced due to the economic shocks that resulted from the COVID-19 pandemic and the explosive eruption of La Soufriere Volcano, equipment and supplies were procured to allow for greater efficiency and cost-savings with respect to site maintenance.

Three (3) new grant proposals were submitted in 2020.

Thus far, the Botanical Garden Tackling Climate Change Project was funded and is on-going.
For 2021, there have been three (3) new submissions to date; one of which was approved and for which the first tranche of funds was received.

Four (4) other projects were conceptualized with the involvement of the NPRBA and submitted by other agencies.
Said projects are expected to bring significant benefits to the NPRBA regarding park planning and management (GEF 6), capacity building for community tourism organization (IAF), biodiversity conservation (GEF 7) and supporting blue-green economic development (CANARI EbA).

 Implement the approved recommendations and revisions to the Human Resource Operational Manual to enhance the institution’s human resource capacity and remunerations, benefits, health and safety for better service delivery.
 Consultant was selected and approved by the NPRBA Board.

The contract to commence work was recently signed.

Work is expected to commence over a 11-week period August-November, 2021  Continue to incorporate climate change and ecosystem-based adaptation initiatives within the SVG National Parks and Protected Areas System Plan, other conserved areas, work programs and projects.
 The GEF-6 “Conserving biodiversity and reducing land degradation using a Ridge to Reef approach Project 2019-2023” has commenced.

739 However, elements of the project that relate to climate change adaptation that supports conservation efforts in-line with the SVG National Parks and Protected Areas System Plan 2009-2014, will not be realized until 2022 and beyond.
Review of draft management plan to incorporate climate change and risk assessment that was conducted for Black Point Historic and Recreational Park is pending.

This will be used as a template for other parks and recreation sites.

It is expected that the incorporation of climate change adaptation and risk reduction measures into management plans of two (2) parks to strengthen resilience and provide environmental protection at these parks by the end of 2021.
Three (3) new sites namely; Clare Valley Beach, Layou River, Sion Hill Bay, Queens Bay/Mt.

Wynne were added to the coastal monitoring program that includes water quality testing and beach profiling.

Four (4) in-house training sessions were held in the first quarter of 2021 to build capacity in the areas of water quality, equipment maintenance and data analysis.

Four (4) NPRBA staff benefited from the training.


Additionally, three (3) officers of Fisheries Division, Public Health Department and SVG Coast Guard received field training in water quality testing.

A session targeting the site staff of the Wallilabou Heritage Park was scheduled for the second quarter of 2021 but was postponed due to the eruption of La Soufriere Volcano.

This latter session is expected to be held in the last quarter of the year.
740  Continue to promote awareness and stakeholder engagement to foster advocacy and stewardship for the conservation of biodiversity and other natural resources in SVG.

 Through the National Environmental Days Commemoration Committee (NEDCC) chaired by NPRBA, fifteen (15) international environmental days were observed through activities as follows: beach clean-up, Facebook® campaigns, video clippings, posters, awareness articles Zoom® interviews and radio programs.
Three (3) NPRBA electronic Newsletters were produced and circulated to date.

Earth Day, World Oceans Day and World Water Day are three (3) international environmental days whose commemorations are usually well supported by the business sector.

Unfortunately, the spike in COVID cases nationally together with the explosive eruptions of La Soufriere Volcano resulted in the cancellation of these events in the first half of the year.
A funding proposal in the sum of USD $19,000 was submitted to the SVG Conservation Funds in July, 2021.

The proposal seeks to procure equipment and to enhance the capacity of NPRBA staff to deliver effective education and awareness program to support ecosystem conservation and post-volcanic eruption resilience-building.
Seven (7) face-to-face school programs were planned for the reviewed period but unfortunately, all sessions were not possible due to the physical closure of schools linked to the COVID 19 pandemic and the eruption of La Soufriere Volcano.

Three (3) other sessions are scheduled for the latter part of the year.
741  Undertake effective management and conservation of parks and protected areas through data management systems, resource mobilization, implementation of new regulations, declaration of PAs and monitoring assessments.

 The latest iteration of the Draft Parks and Protected Areas Regulations occurred in July, 2021.

These Regulations when finalized and approved will be used to leverage implementation of differential user fees at various parks and recreation sites.
They will be used to strengthen the enforcement and management regime at such sites.

The Draft Regulations also contains nine (9) Declaration Orders for existing sites.

The SVG Sea Turtle Conservation and Associated Livelihood Project 2021-2022 currently under way, should provide the impetus for the declaration and designation of two (2) new protected areas in Colonaire and Big Sand/Sandy Bay by the end of this year and the first half of 2022.
Activities under this project to date include ground-truthing for the development of Terms of Reference (TOR) for the development of management plans for the Colonaire and Big Sand/Sandy Bay Sea Turtle Sanctuaries.

Cadastral surveys to be conducted at seven (7) sites remain pending in lieu of support from the Land and Surveys Department.

These surveys are critical to establishing the boundaries and sizes of the proposed protected areas as part the declaration process.
Declaration of the Leeward Coast Marine Park is an outcome of the GEF 6 “Conserving biodiversity and reducing land degradation using a ridge-to-reef approach 2019-2023 Project”.

This project was launched in February, 2021.

742 As a main beneficiary and as a member of the steering committee, the NPRBA will continue to make recommendations for the effective implementation of this project.
Eight (8) sites were earmarked for assessment through the use of the IUCN’s protected areas management effectiveness (PAME) tracking tool.

Four (4) of these sites were expected to be newly declared protected areas.

However, no assessment has been conducted to date; reason being that personnel of the Fisheries Division, Forestry Services and the Tobago Cays Marine Park have all been unavailable to undertake the joint assessments.
Their unavailability has been linked to several competing activities which include project proposals and implementation and post-disaster recovery in the wake of the explosive eruptions of the La Soufriere volcano.

Efforts will be made to conduct assessment on the four (4) existing pilot sites namely: Kings Hill Forest Reserve, South Coast Marine Conservation Area, Tobago Cays Marine Park and Mustique Conservation Area by the end of 2021.
NPRBA provided support to IOS partners- consultants for the design, planning and development of the SVG Tourism Master Plan 2020 - 2025.

The NPRBA provided background information to the consultants on the six (6) targeted tourism co-management groups and facilitated an online survey as part of the consultancy which will include components for community-based and nature-based tourism.
743 Training sessions on project writing, group dynamics and sustainable livelihoods for the sea turtle monitoring groups at Sandy Bay and Colonaire scheduled for March-August, 2021, have been delayed due to the CoVid 19 pandemic and the eruption of La Soufriere Volcano.

An assessment with relevant stakeholders will be conducted to determine the most appropriate time to execute the planned series of training.
A capacity development and small grant funding proposal for community tourism groups was submitted to the Inter-American Foundation (IAF) through the SVG Conservation Fund.

The proposal is currently under review as part of the approval process.

If approved, this three (3)-year project should commence by the end of 2021.

 Implement appropriate protocols and measures to address the impacts and safety challenges of the COVID-19 pandemic on the institutions’ operations in keeping with national policies.
 The COVID 19 protocols for parks and recreation sites were updated and applied in keeping with the Ministry of Health guidelines and protocols.

Prior to the eruption of La Soufriere, twelve (12) sites were monitored to ensure compliance with COVID 19 protocols up to April, 2021.

From April 15, 2021 nine (9) sites have been monitored to date.

Hand sanitization stations were installed at twelve (12) sites.
Two (2) awareness training sessions on COVID 19 were conducted with approximately fifteen (15) site staff from various parks and recreation sites.

744 Thirteen (13) COVID 19 awareness signs were prepared for installation at parks and recreation sites to promote safety and preventative measures.
