After 35 years of independence the island of Nevis can truly celebrate the tremendous transformation that has taken place.

Today we enjoy first world amenities in telecommunications, transport and housing.

Our institutions and infrastructure have witnessed noteworthy improvements.

My Administration is especially honoured to be associated with the successes achieved in our short independent lifespan.
In 2018, we embarked on a number of new initiatives and we pledge to continue to build on these successes.

The renovation to our institutions of learning was unprecedented as we recognize that for the future to be brighter than today we must invest in our youths.

We commenced the reconstruction of the Treasury and Inland Revenue Departments building and the New Castle Police Station and we upgraded the infrastructure for the delivery of quality potable water to our people.
The emergence of new technology will have a profound impact on the way we conduct business and live.

The Administration realizes the potential of technology and has thus forged a profitable partnership with the Government of China – Taiwan to implement an ambitious fibre optic program supporting the deployment of CCTV cameras especially around Charlestown.
The promise of the 2019 period is even more exciting than that of the past as my Administration continues to implement policies that will bring even more fulfilment to the lives of every citizen.
Therefore, as the Premier and Senior Minister responsible for Education and Health it is incumbent on me to ensure that we safeguard our future through investments such as the improvements at the Alexandra Hospital and other health care centres around the island; the enhancement of technical and vocational education training (TVET) Programme and tertiary education at the Nevis Sixth Form College.

These initiatives are expected to cost the Administration over $15 million dollars in 2019.
The Concern Citizens Movement Administration has undertaken investment in the island road network such as the roads in Brown Hill, Bath Village and Shaw’s Road that is unparalleled in scope to that undertaken by the previous Administration.

The New Castle Police Station project is progressing smoothly and the Administration anticipates that this project will be completed in 2019.
The long awaited rehabilitation of the road leading to the Vance Amory International Airport is expected to be undertaken in the 2019 period.

We will continue our infrastructure developments started in the 2017 and 2018 periods.

My Administration remains resolute in its commitment to ensuring the continuous transformation of the island into a prosperous and dynamic place to live and work.
We welcome and applaud the efforts of all who have worked to take us to the first 35 years of independence and call on all to work even harder to ensure the success of the next 35.

This Budget Estimate is an integrated and comprehensive plan of action, one step at a time, to secure such a future.

May God bless us all.

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

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

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

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

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

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

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

The Department is led by a Legal Advisor and comprises a Senior Legal Counsel, three Junior Counsel, two Legal Assistants and various administrative and clerical staff.

The Department is housed in the “old” Administration Building in cramped quarters that also houses the Companies Registry which falls under the supervision of the Senior Legal Counsel in her capacity as Companies Registrar.
The Legal Department provides the Cabinet and the Administration significant support by offering legal advice on a wide range of complex issues especially where the government is entering into contracts – whether for development or for the retaining of services -, introducing new legislation or representing the Administration at all levels of litigation or potentially litigious matters.
In order to be most effective, the cadre of Legal Counsel at the Department are required to have a keen understanding of government business and to work closely with the Ministries, Departments and Statutory Corporations.

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

One Junior Counsel is assigned to the Federal Director of Public Prosecutions for the purpose of facilitating prosecution of criminal matters in Nevis.
Although the Department is expected to assist in producing draft legislation for a number of the Administration’s initiatives, none of the Counsel is professionally qualified in Legal Drafting.
As the Nevis Island Administration continues to embark on projects to promote the development of the Island, it is envisaged that the Legal Department will be increasingly tasked with negotiating and drafting development agreements in respect of a diverse range of projects including geothermal energy production, airport, hotel and infrastructure development.
In the meantime, Nevis has become an intensely litigious society as people increasingly turn to the courts in order to assert perceived rights and freedoms.

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

It is anticipated that this trend will continue.

However, there is still need for a Legal Counsel with substantial experience at the Bar.
It is anticipated that a new Junior Counsel will be added to the staff complement by May 2019 upon the graduation of a successful intern from Law School.

In the interest of achieving effective dispute resolution, in 2018 the Department focused with some success on avoiding litigation where it is in the best interests of the parties to do so.

Parties and their Counsel were encouraged to dialogue with the Department to avoid litigation where at all possible.
Several claims were settled by this approach without matters proceeding to full trial.

All Permanent Secretaries and Department Heads are asked to consult with the Legal Department at the early stages of discussion and negotiation on procurement, planning, construction, labour, human resources and other matters.
In 2018, as a result of the increased legislative demand, the Department needed to retain external drafting consultants who have contributed to the production of draft legislation for trusts and digital asset business – both bills to be laid in the House of Assembly by year’s end.
As the Department continues to play an integral role in the creation of new laws and the amendment of existing legislation, it would be of immeasurable support for the Department if a permanent position of Senior Parliamentary Counsel could be established.
47 04 - LEGAL SERVICES The last quarter of 2018 proved challenging for the Department which had languished without sufficient administrative capacity to support its functions, was able to secure an Executive Officer in October 2018 but only just before both the Senior and Junior Clerks proceeded on maternity leave.

Two temporary non-established workers have also been assigned.
However, the continuing challenge for the Department is sufficient space to adequately accommodate its Staff and the significant storage space required for its records.

There is no physical room for growth of the Department.

Staff Training During 2018 the Department took advantage of several training opportunities for lawyers and attended several sessions on legal drafting, fintech, and physical planning.

The need for enhanced training for all Department Staff will be prioritised in 2019.
Office Management, new technologies for operating the Companies Registry, archiving procedures and continuing professional development for all lawyers, will all be pursued with a view to enhancing the capability of both professional and administrative staff.

Attendance at International Conferences related to the development of the financial services sector will also be a focus of training initiatives to be pursued.
Office Space The Legal Department is currently situated in cramped quarters with an inadequate legal library, an inhospitable and ill equipped conference room, insufficient space for officers and no physical space for growth.

Optimally the Department (with the Companies Registry) should house 14 persons.

It is hoped that adequate office space for the Department can be sourced during 2019.
Companies Registry The Legal Department continues to be responsible for the Companies Registry which deals with companies incorporated in Nevis under the Companies Act i.e.

“local companies”.

The Senior Legal Counsel acts as Registrar of Companies.
It is thought desirable that the Registry be brought under the umbrella of the Nevis Financial Services (Regulation and Supervision) Department (“NFSD”) in compliance with international requirements regarding the ring fencing of local companies from IBCs and LLCs.

In addition, a project for computerization and reform of the Registry not achieved during 2018 remains on the “to do” list for 2019.
It is planned that the registration of local companies be encompassed within planned technical upgrades of the NFSD registration system.

The document to the best of my knowledge provides an accurate representation of the Office's plans and priorities for the use of resources allocated.

The demands for the delivery of quality human centred public service is ever increasing and this increasing demand is commensurate with the increase in the expenditure.

The Ministry of Finance continues to advocate for the need for moderation in public expenditure and calls on all Permanent Secretaries and Heads of Departments to prioritize and sequence projects in recognition of resource availability.
As the Minister responsible for the finances of government, I am very keen on the operations of the revenue generating departments in the promotion of technology to improve revenue collection.

The electronic payment services implemented by the Inland Revenue Department along with the strict collection enforcement practices are expected to have a positive outcome on the tax and revenue performance of the department.

These revenue limits the need to borrow and improve our financial health and viability.
I am sure every civil minded citizen welcomes this.

Resultantly, I call on all citizens to ensure they are responsible in paying their taxes in a timely manner.

We recognize the limitations of the public sector in infusing the level of growth and prosperity envisioned for our people.

As such, the Ministry has given high priority to creating the environment for substantial investment in private sector initiatives.
To facilitate the avenue for such investment, the Nevis Investment Promotion Agency Ordinance was amended.

This Agency which previously focussed predominantly on investment in international financial services will have its scope expanded to cover areas of investment in a variety of other areas.

The impetus of the operations in the 2019 period is to concentrate on the discovery of new markets and partnerships that can be beneficial to the economic advancement of the island.
These will include pursuing opportunities in non-traditional markets such as South America and Asia.

Inculcated in this investment centred focus, the Small Enterprise Development Unit in 2019 is expected to create and expand opportunities for micro businesses by facilitating the connection of local businesses to regional and international partners and markets.

The renewed focus on the wider investment opportunities in no way limits the attention given to international financial services.
Subsequently, with the challenging environment that surrounds the industry, the Ministry in the last quarter of 2018 is undertaking a comprehensive assessment of the sector examining the products, legislation and markets.

This assessment will be a key instrument for informing the way forward for the sector in the 2019 period and beyond.

Best regards, ……………………......... Hon.


Mark Brantley Minister of Finance 1.2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY TThe Ministry of Finance and its allied Departments are focused on ensuring the citizens of Nevis enjoy a good quality of life through the development and execution of sound and sustainable policies in the areas of revenue collection, public expenditure, debt management, regulation and marketing and small business enterprise initiatives.
The Inland Revenue Department cognizant of its role as a revenue collection agency has expanded its services to include on line payments.

The Department was able to increase the number of financial institutions that collect taxes on its behalf thereby reducing its collection 69 06 - MINISTRY OF FINANCE, STATISTICS & ECONOMIC PLANNING costs and making payments easier for its customers.

In addition, the Department in mid-2018 has migrated the Driver’s License renewal process to its online portal.
A formal launch of this module and the Motor Vehicle License will be done in December 2018.

In 2019, the IRD will be focused on the assessment process for the selection of a replacement tax information system, in order to further improve its level of services to its stakeholders.

The development of a new Corporate Strategic Business Plan for 2019 – 2021 will streamline its reforms and operational work.

The work of the Customs Department is vital to the day to day lives of every citizen.
The department continually works toward their goal of protecting the island of Nevis by addressing border security risks, introducing new and modern enforcement techniques and procedures.

In the 2018 period the Customs Department undertook a number of training in this area.

These include training facilitated by REDTRAC Training Facility in Jamaica on the Techniques for Financial Investigation.

This training involved familiarization of the Proceeds of Crime Act, money laundering and evidence gathering.
The Department for the new budget cycle will increase its vigilance in ensuring the entry and exit of items at our ports are in accordance with the laws of the Federation and other international agencies such as the Financial Action Task Force.
The debt management strategy of the Ministry involves securing a level of debt that the Administration can service without undue pressure on the finances resulting in its inability to continue to effectively fund development projects, supporting the most vulnerable in the society and attract and retaining the human resource necessary for the success executive of plans.

The Administration is actively pursuing a plan to restructure some of its high cost debt to lower cost ones.
Conscientious of the importance of securing the good reputation of the financial services sector on the island, the Nevis Financial Services Regulatory Commission or the Regulation and Supervision Department has diligently undertaken the task of ensuring compliance with the laws, regulations and standards governing the operations of businesses registered to undertake financial services business.

These conferences will increase the visibility of the island through networking with the aim of seeking new business prospects.

Furthermore, the agency is expected to organize three road shows in Taiwan, Miami and Panama to inform prospective clients and intermediaries about Nevis’ product offerings with the hope of increasing business.
The Nevis Investment Promotion Agency Ordinance of 2018 is designed to reshape the functions of the agency infusing the focus on investment facilitation for both domestic and international investors.

The Ministry in 2018 embarked on an initiative to provide assistance to the agro processors on the island.

Agro processing holds great potential for the development of cottage industries.

This year there has been a focus on essential oils, perfumes and other hair and body care.
It is especially lucrative and the engagement of women in these activities are welcomed by the Ministry of Finance and the Administration as a whole.

Consequently, the two (2) weeks workshop in May was design to provide participants with the knowledge of developing such a cottage business utilizing natural agricultural products.

We are pleased to report to the citizens of Nevis that Phase I of the Brown Hill Road Rehabilitation is substantially completed.

At our launch meeting in Brown Hill earlier in 2018, we indicated that the carriage way would be upgraded with curbs, slipper drains, U-drains and culverts.

We will continue this project in 2019 which will include the construction of a large culvert.
We have started Phase I of the Bath Village Road Rehabilitation Project and the continuation of the Shaw’s Road to Fountain Project in 2019.

The Administration will rehabilitate the Island Main Road from Cotton Ground to the Vance Amory International Airport and the Long Point Road to Pinney’s Junction by Artisan Village via Pump Road.
These roads will however be done by a private contractor with the assistance of the Public Works Department and the use of local labour, contractors and equipment such as trucks, backhoes and excavators where necessary.

The Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) funded water project dubbed the Nevis Water Supply Enhancement Project comes to an end at the end of January 2019.

We expressed sincere thanks and appreciation to CDB for providing a concessionary funding for this project.
We are pleased that much has been achieved over the last five years in terms of constructing new reservoirs, pump stations, laying of thousands of feet of pipes, acquiring equipment, training and building capacity.

We would like to commend the Nevis Water Department (NWD) for their excellent work as contractor for this project.

The agreement with BEAD LLC for providing additional water for NWD through additional water wells will augment our water supply.
The Charlestown Primary School Office Complex upgrade and expansion provided needed space for the teachers at the institution.

The works have been substantially completed.

It is the intention of the Nevis Island Administration to start the process to design and construct a modern science lab for the school in 2019.
Due to the increase in population of the students at the Ivor Walters Primary School, the NIA was forced to construct three extra temporary class rooms, a guidance counsellor’s office and additional bath rooms at the school.

This project was completed in November 2018.

The NIA will continue its efforts to upgrade the school in future and to work with partners to assist the school in the effective and efficient delivery of quality education for the students.

Spencer Brand Minister of Communications 1.2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The critical importance of public infrastructure to our island development has signified the work of the Ministry of Communications in the 2018 period.

Moreover, postal services and labour relations the communication and employment necessary to enhancing the quality of life that our people expects.
It is with this in mind that the Ministry continues to embark on projects in physical and human development.

In 2019, the Brown and the Bath Rehabilitation Road Projects will be two such investment in physical infrastructure.

The Brown Hill road includes the laying of 5,700 feet of asphalt with expenditure of over $2,5 million.

Our road development and maintenance programme in will continue during fiscal year 2019.
Our first priority will be the completion of the ongoing projects at Bath Road, Craddock Road and Brown Hill Road before embarking on any new works.
Our program for the 2019 fiscal period will see works undertaken at upper Shaws road continuing to Fountain Project in addition to a number of small roads such connecting Craddock Road with Old Hospital Road, 109 07 - MINISTRY OF COMMUNICATIONS, PUBLIC WORKS, WATER SERVICES, POSTS, PHYSICAL PLANNING, & ENVIRONMENT connecting Hamilton with Pump Road, Farms Estate road and Ramsbury area to name a few.
Major renovation is expected on the Island Main Road in the area of Cotton Ground to the Vance Amory Airport undertaken by a private contractor.

This renovation will bring need relief to individuals travelling on that road on a daily basis.

The Water Department must be commended for the excellent work done in collaboration with the Caribbean Development Bank in upgrading the water lines throughout the island of Nevis.

This project is set to be concluded early in the New Year.
The available of quality water remains an important objective of the Department.

Thus, it has undertaken the task of ensuring new supplies of quality water is made available to the people of Nevis.

For this initiative the Department is partnering with BEAD Nevis LLC for the drilling of three (3) additional wells to increase our water supply.

The Department of Physical Planning is ever cognizant of their role in securing the physical and environmental integrity of the island.
To forge a more collaborative arrangement between the Department and the Construction Industry the Department partnered with the Caribbean Development Bank through its Caribbean Technological Consultancy Services Network (CTCS) to host a week long training seminar on “Improved Practices for the Construction Industry.
The inauguration of the Job Fair and Career Guidance Seminar hosted by the Department of Labour in collaboration with the St. Kitts & Nevis Social Security Board in 2018 was an impetus to provide needed technical skills for individuals wishing to enter or advance in the job market.

Through this initiative the Department was able to place 55 participants in attachment programs for a period of six (6) weeks.
I am happy to report that at least 9 of these participants were able to gain fulltime employment at the end of the attachment program.

To a large extent we are seeking to achieve food security as it relates to the production of selected items such as root tubers, vegetables and fruits.

Sociologists suggest that Food and Shelter are the most basic of needs of human beings and through the Nevis Housing and Land Development Corporation we have continued along a very successful path of housing solutions across the island, whether it be on private lands or in housing communities.
Cedar Grove in the Maddens area is the latest housing community and is an excellent indicator of what the government has in store for the quality and layout.

Land usage on the island is something that is done in association with other Ministries and through the process of zoning, the relevant physical spaces are allocated to ensure the comfort of residents as well as a range of commercial ventures.
There are two regional projects expected in the new year that the Ministry will participate in as we seek to harmonise the natural balance between plants, animals and our residents.

The Ministry will continue to undertake the necessary policy and support initiatives to empower the different agricultural sectors namely Crop and Livestock Farmers, Fishers and Agro processors.
The failure of many of the cooperative societies on the island has caused the Ministry to go back to the drawing board to assess how we can best assist primary producers and agro processors as they ply their trade.

The Ministry of Agriculture for 2019 will focus on business development across the sector as we have realised that in many ways the practices at both the public and private sector levels are mostly very traditional.
The successes or failures in many areas observed cannot be verified by accurate data.

This paradigm shift in operations is something that has been encouraged by our international and regional allied partners for many years, and brings with it a level of accountability that is proving to be quite elusive across the sector.
We accept this type of behaviour is cultural and will be difficult to change in a short time period, however we have enough examples across other sectors and even other countries to believe this is the way to go.

This new thrust will continue the infusion of mechanisation and technology into the sector as we retain that mantra of working smarter and not harder.
When we look at mechanisation, we thank the Republic of China (Taiwan) for their timely assistance in 2018 of 2 Massey Ferguson Tractors and a JCB Backhoe which already have made a huge impact in the area of land preparation.

One of the goals in 2018 as well, was the establishment of a virtual crop management platform.

Initially the establishment of the platform was daunting as there was a struggle to populate the necessary data fields.
With the help of the ICT Department on St Kitts, which built this platform and the help of the IT Department on Nevis, during the last quarter was being tested by one of the units at the Department of Agriculture with broader deployment by 2nd quarter of 2019.

The Ministry continues to struggle with the effects of the Monkey and Donkey populations respectively.
There is the belief that the numbers of both animals are at crisis stage, where the available resources cannot support their existing population and we are on the verge of a behavioural shift that could negatively impact humans.

The Ministry is actively engaging partners such as CARDI, Ross University and others to determine the best way to reduce the populations to sustainable levels.
Local research on monkeys has shown that the interaction 137 08 - MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE, LANDS, COOPERATIVES, MARINE RESOURCES & DISASTER MANAGEMENT with humans on health level shows diseases and bugs that can be transferred to humans and secondly their violent nature can injure vulnerable persons if the monkeys feel threatened.

The challenges of climate change are real and with the help of allied agencies we are championing the adoption of smart agriculture techniques.
At Prospect we have established an Aquaponics farm where aquaculture is combined with hydroponics in a closed system that reduces water usage by more than 90 percent.

We continue to push protected agriculture or shade houses as it has proven to be an excellent solution to many of the problems experienced in traditional agriculture when it comes to short terms crops.

In 2019 the Ministry will redouble efforts in planting fruit or tree crops such as soursop, guava, golden apples and citrus.
Root crops such as sweet potatoes, yams and ginger will be pursued and encouraged during the upcoming year.

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

During the last quarter of 2018 again with the help of the Republic of China Taiwan a walk in freezer was acquired and installed primarily for the storage of pulp especially mango as we have explored and pursue external markets.
Work has begun as well on an extension of the plant to create specific areas for flour and pulps and an expanded Kitchen area.

One of the great successes over the year at the plant has been the production composite breads made with Cassava, Plantain and even Moringa Flour, which are both healthier and specialty items, perfect for hotels and restaurants.

With assistance from Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine the quality of Beef from the Maddens farm has shown great improvement.
The reproductive practices were supported by the use of artificial insemination.

Commendation must be also given to the staff at Indian Castle as quite a number of cattle which had escaped at the start of the year were recaptured and are now part of a sustainable beef production program.

Additionally, we have reintroduced a feed lot or intensive system for cattle production which allows us to deliver high quality animals to the abattoir regularly.
Further, based on sales and demand for mutton the department is taking steps to improve the quality of goats on the island by working with livestock farmers to improve the quality of their breeds and adjusting their farming practices.

As we seek to improve the services delivered to our Fishers the department is being rebranded as the Department of Marine Resources as recognised by the latest edition of the Act that govern the sector.
This allows an even closer working relationship with counterparts in the federal government as this provides greater efficiencies in the management for our marine resources.

We are also finalising plans for the department to have its offices in Charlestown with Laboratory and Training facilities.

Fishing is a critical food supplier to our people and the department must be in a position to ensure the safety and regulation of marine harvested items.
We are very happy that in 2018 we were largely spared from any major hurricanes, however the staff at the Ministry through the Nevis Disaster Management Department continue to work towards an aggressive education campaign to sensitise our people about both natural and man-made events.

While we were spared hurricanes we have in the last 6 months observed an increase in the number and strength of earthquakes in the Caribbean region and experts keep suggesting we are due a major earthquake.
They are unpredictable and expose our islands to tsunamis or tidal waves so indeed we must be prepared individually and collectively.

The NDMD participates in a regional monitoring network for Natural events whether it be earthquakes or weather events and are actively maintaining sensitive equipment across the island and frequently participate in training opportunities to maintain our readiness as well as mitigation activities.
The Ministry of Agriculture, Lands, Housing, Cooperatives, Marine & Natural Resources and 138 08 - MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE, LANDS, COOPERATIVES, MARINE RESOURCES & DISASTER MANAGEMENT Disaster Management understand the portfolio responsibilities especially what it means for our people.

Our role is to make sure residents on the island are safe and comfortable and are in a position not only to be fed but to have healthy options, and where the resources allow we export to earn revenue.
.................................... Hon Alexis Jeffers Minister of Agriculture 1.2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Ministry of Agriculture, Lands, Housing, Cooperatives, Marine & Natural Resources and Disaster Management is comprised of four (4) Departments; the Department of Agriculture, Department of Marine Resources, Department of Co-operatives, Nevis Disaster Management Department and the State Owned Enterprise - Nevis Housing and Land Development Corporation.
The Nevis Housing and Land Development Corporation is a statutory body administered exclusively by its own management team and a Board of Directors.

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

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

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

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

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

The Department of Marine Resources on Nevis through collaborations with the Department of Marine Resources on St Kitts seeks to ensure that all programmes and activities benefit fishers.
With the continued implementation of the latest Fisheries Act (2016), both agencies will administer the legal, management and environmental conservation issues that affect the sector.

Relationships with regional and international partners are expected to not only provide training but assist in the regulation issues that plague the industry worldwide.
The Ministry through the Department of Co-operatives has tried unsuccessfully to re energise cooperatives on the island and accepts that it is not a technical rather a cultural or social issue.

What we are proposing is to work with clients on an individual level and coordinate with the Departments of Agriculture and Fisheries and provide that much needed business support that is required to advance this sector.
The Nevis Disaster Management Department coordinates with the National Emergency Management Agency to implement mitigation strategies to minimise the loss of life and property on the island.

Constant surveillance of data collecting devices, shelters and equipment cannot be forsaken.

An effective Communication plan is also critical for the behaviour of residents during an event as such resources are expended to ensure that we react correctly.

We will remain resolute in our mandate, and will employ several strategies as we implement our objectives, with a primary focus on facilitating greater access to healthcare services, health systems development, and gender mainstreaming, The burden of disease in the population reflects that over 80%of annual mortality is due to non communicable diseases (NCDs) such as diabetes, heart disease and cancers.

The prevention and control of NCDs continues to remain a priority.
Scaling up of targeted health messages through the development of local media packages will be realized in 2019, when we officially launch the Communications Division of the Health Promotion Unit.

This Unit will also be responsible for covering all health events and will ensure that persons are provided with continuous information that can assist in the prevention and management of diseases.
Access to healthcare will further be realized through the establishment of a Counselling Unit at the Ministry of Health.

This Unit will be staffed by professional counsellors, and serve as a location where persons can access services upon referral by various government departments.

It is envisioned that this department will serve the wider community as its capacity grows over time.

Initiatives on access to healthcare at the policy level with regard to Universal Healthcare gained momentum in 2018.
This initiative will not only provide access to healthcare for all, but also ensure a sustainable health financing mechanism.

In 2019, additional steps towards implementation will continue with national consultations completed to inform the benefits package and overall plan that will be available to citizens and residents by 2020.

The promotion of healthy lifestyles extends to that of maintaining a healthy physical environment.
As outlined in Sustainable Development Goal 3, which addresses good health and wellbeing, efforts toward the elimination of illegal dumping, and the reduction of air, water, and soil pollution, as well as vector borne diseases will be enhanced.

Increased monitoring of current and new dumping sites will be in full effect, with the necessary penalties also enforced.

Health systems development initiatives in the form of infrastructural development will continue in 2019.
The Alexandra Hospital will enter its second year of a 24-30-month project.

In addition to this expansion which will include a new laboratory, physical therapy, and radiology departments, as well as dialysis, and pediatric isolation ward, the Flamboyant Nursing Home Kitchen will also be expanded.

This expansion will allow for a larger working space, and staff dining facilities etc.

Innovation at the Ministry of Health in 2019, will also see the introduction of new technologies.
Diagnostic capabilities in the form of a CAT Scan will be available at the Alexandra Hospital.

Similarly, four health centres will also have the capabilities to perform EKGs, which will now see all six health centres providing this service.

The newly restructured Gender Affairs Department will focus on the development of the National Gender Policy.
This policy will engage multiple stakeholders, and will focus on gender equality, gender mainstreaming, and matters related to sexual and reproductive health among others in accordance with Sustainable Development Goal 5.

As we aim to implement these programmes, and ensure sustainable development, it is imperative that we form strategic partnerships with various local, regional and international 156 09 - MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND GENDER AFFAIRS entities.
Through these partnerships we can sustain health gains, and realize new achievements in the area of primary and institutional healthcare, as well as gender affairs.

.............................................. Mrs. Hazel Brandy Williams Junior Minister Ministry of Health 1.2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY As outlined in the Sustainable Development Goals, sustainable development cannot be realized unless there are advances in good health and well being and gender equality.
In 2019, the Ministry of Health and Gender Affairs will execute several plans and programmes that will contribute to the island’s development.

Primary healthcare initiatives will place a focus on the reduction of diseases such as diabetes and hypertension which record an adult prevalence of 20% and 35% respectively.

As such our health promotion efforts will expand to include a greater number of workplace wellness sessions.
With childhood obesity also a major concern, we will also increase our efforts at the level of the pre school and primary school meals program with additional skilled personnel dedicated to nutrition education and menu planning.
Child Health initiatives that will address obesity also include the Baby Friendly Hospital Initiative where steps to facilitate the exclusive breast feeding for the first six months will be promoted at Alexandra Hospital, with eventual certification by the World Health Organization in this regard by the end of 2019.

Other innovative programmes for 2019 will include hemoglobin screening as part of the school health programme which can prompt early intervention for diseases such as anemia.
As part of our thrust on the heightened awareness of sexual and reproductive health services such as increasing pap smears to reduce cervical cancer through early intervention, we will also focus on other gender related issues in 2019.

In this vein, efforts will be made to identify gender focal points in each government Ministry to ensure gender mainstreaming in order to examine the effects of various legislation, policy and programmes on women and men.
As has been the practice at many educational facilities with school feeding programmes, the development of a vegetable garden initiative at the Alexandra Hospital will also be piloted in 2019.

This facility which also houses the Flamboyant Nursing Home, provides meals for over 50 persons per day.
A sustainable garden project such as this can provide adequate nutrition, while also serving as a cost cutting strategy, Facility expansion will also continue at pace in 2019 at the Alexandra Hospital with diagnostic facilities and other departments including the operating theatre being reconstructed to provide more quality services.

In advance of facility completion, 2019 however we will see the installation of new equipment including a state of the art ultrasound machine and CAT scan.
At the District level plans for construction of a polyclinic at Gingerland have been conceptualized, and architectural drawings will be completed in 2019.

Once completed, this facility will have extended hours and include additional services including permanent physician availability.

Health systems development in the area of human resources will see remarkable advances in 2019.
The cadre of nursing professionals at the Alexandra Hospital will expand by 20% with the recruitment of general nurses as well as specialist nurses in the area of psychiatry, and 157 09 - MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND GENDER AFFAIRS intensive care.

Physician capacity will also be strengthened with the return of two general practitioners, as well as the availability of specialists in radiology, and additional capacity in the area of anesthesiology.
The generation of strategic information which will inform policies and programmes will also be a priority in 2019.

In an effort to further investigate the impact of non communicable diseases on the population, a chronic disease risk factor survey will be conducted at the national level which provide information on diabetes, hypertension, obesity and other health indicators.
Research into the drivers of obesity will also be facilitated through a sub regional food and nutrition project, which will enter its second year in 2019.

The Ministry of Health and Gender Affairs is committed to making an impact on the lives of the population in 2019.

We believe that our objectives are attainable, and look forward to implementation of our plans and programmes in partnership with individuals, civil society, and other partners at the local, regional and international levels.
1.3 MANAGEMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT I submit for tabling in Parliament, the annual Report on Plans and Priorities (RPP) for the Ministry of Health and Gender Affairs for 2019.

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

The top level officers were engaged in a comprehensive exercise of strategic planning and collaboration in an effort to arrive at the plans and priorities outlined in this document and it is a true reflection of the views and mandate of the office of the Ministry as a whole.
The document will serve as an essential planning tool and working guide for the operation for 2019 and beyond and will act as an evaluation tool to assess performance.

The Ministry of Tourism will, in 2019, continue to carry out its mandate to develop and enhance the Nevis tourism product in a sustainable manner which protects our fragile environment, preserves our rich and varied culture and ensures that Nevisians benefit financially.

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

The Ministry recognizes the importance of community based tourism and as such will procure the services of a consultant who will assist us in developing action plans which we will roll out for specific communities in 2019.
Capacity building begins with our tourism education efforts from primary school to sixth form – our efforts have not only been trend setting but have borne much fruit in ensuring that our stakeholders are provided with local labour that possesses the necessary competencies and skills required by a demanding tourism industry.
Very importantly, the Ministry will do all in its power to promote entrepreneurship and create a supportive environment for new tourism ventures and ideas which are put forward to diversify the Nevisian economy.

Exposition Nevis, which is a month long showcase of Nevis’ tourism product, will be again hosted in April – May 2019 with the objective of stimulating public awareness of the importance of our tourism industry.
The Ministry will also redouble its efforts to communicate with stakeholder through the reintroduction of a Tourism Communications Officer who will be responsible for sharing our progress and achievements in product development and marketing.

In 2019, we will continue to underscore the importance of our heritage tourism product as we continue to create and enhance memorable, educational and enjoyable experiences at Eden Browne, New River, the Nevisian Heritage Village and Bath Stream.
We are in the process of developing a welcome and interpretation centre at each site and will make certain enhancements that will be certain to attract both our land based and marine visitors.

We will enlist the help of friendly governments to move forward with the Pinneys Recreational Park Project.

We will refine the operations of the recently installed swim zones and lifeguards stationed at Pinneys, with the aim of eventually expanding to the other beaches on the island.
The Nevis Tourism Authority is approaching the new season and new-year with anticipation and confidence.

By far the biggest opportunity which has resulted from their 2018 efforts is the addition of the Sun Country Airlines service from Minneapolis, Minnesota to Basseterre, St. Kitts.

The response to this new flight so far has been quite encouraging with strong bookings well in advance.

The door is open for a further Sun Country weekly flight from Dallas, Texas.

This will run from May to September 2019.


This one flight is the single biggest chance that Nevis has to increase visitor arrivals in the summer.

The NTA continues to expand its marketing and public relations efforts and anticipates that by year end Nevis will appear in over 150 international media, many of which will cover the ever growing Nevis Mango and Food Festival.

The NTA also plans to explore new market opportunities plans in Germany, the Channel Islands (UK) and California.
In an attempt to enhance its marketing efforts, the NTA will be revamping its website so that it would be more interactive and user friendly to visitors, residents and the travel trade.
I owe a debt of gratitude to my team at the Ministry of Tourism, the Nevis Tourism Authority, the Hotel and Tourism Association and all the stakeholders who have and will continue to ensure that tourism continues to hold the pivotal position in the economy and that it is strengthened even further, 185 10 - MINISTRY OF TOURISM thus, providing resilient, sustainable and inclusive growth and development.

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


Mark Brantley Minister of Tourism 1.2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The following represents the mission, goals and activities of the Ministry of Tourism, Information and Culture for 2019.

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

The document remains cognizant of the various challenges which we have faced and continue to grapple with over the past year.
These challenges have the potential to derail the gains made over time, but we should be resilient and face the future with optimism.

Some of the proposals presented are not new, however there are a few which will be implemented for the first time.

We are convicted, however, that with the blending of the old and new programs, an enabling climate could be created to facilitate growth and development of the economy, which would eventually benefit all Nevisians.
The Ministry remains committed to the concepts and ideas which it engaged in the past.

However, there will be some modification which is expected to reflect changing dynamics and achieving everyday realities.

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

Opportunities abound for employment, training, entrepreneurship, diversification and to a larger extent, a better standard of living.
Our mission statement is to “Harness the human resource and earnings potential of all Nevisians through the provision of sustainable progress in tourism, through informed decision-making processes and discussions within government, in order to create a greater awareness and revenue returns and stimulate growth and development in all sectors of the economy.” The Ministry’s vision is to facilitate and drive the promotion and development of the economy in a manner that reflects the historical, cultural and environmental heritage of Nevis and maintains a sense of traditional hospitality values.
.............................................. Mr. John Hanley Permanent Secretary (Ag) Ministry of Tourism 1.3 MANAGEMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT I submit, for tabling in Parliament, the Annual Report on Plans and Priorities (RPP), for the Ministry of Tourism.
The top level officers were engaged in a comprehensive exercise of strategic planning and collaboration in an effort to arrive at the plans and priorities outlined in this document and it is a true reflection of the views and mandate of the office of the Ministry as a whole.

The document will serve as an essential planning tool and working guide for the operation for 2019 and beyond and will act as an evaluation tool to assess performance.

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

1 Limited resources – there is a dearth of available monies to fund the projects, hence wise spending and frugal decision-making will have to be hallmarks of operating during the year.
188 10 - MINISTRY OF TOURISM 2 Limited technical staff at the Product Development Unit, Tourism Communication Unit limited manpower challenges for research and slows down the capacity the implementation and effective monitoring of projects.

Climate change continues to affect the region.

This coupled with very unpredictable 3 hurricane seasons have a high probability of affecting is another climate change component that negatively impact on our already scarce fresh water resources.

Drought 4 5 6 The escalation of gun related crimes on locals and guests is a cause for concern as the tranquil and peaceful reputation of our destination is seriously threatened by the activities of a few misguided persons.

Airlift has been a perennial challenge for Nevis.

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

The NIA views education as a fundamental building block on which the advancement of any society is based.

On that premise, the NIA holds firmly to all efforts to make education on Nevis available to all.

The Administration will continue to ensure that education remains the catalyst for a thriving and vibrant society.

The theme “Education For All: Embracing Change, Securing the Future” is inflexibly embedded in our Education Sector Plan 2017 – 2021.
The NIA continued throughout 2017 -2018 to prioritize all aspects of education.

School buildings were improved.

Additional classrooms and toilet facilities are been made available at the Ivor Walters Primary School.

The Charlestown Primary School is being provided with adequate office space for its principal and other administrative staff.

Public pre-schools received new cots and chairs at the start of the school year.
Ongoing training has been initiated from the Department of Education for teachers at all levels.

Teaching and learning have been strengthened in primary and secondary schools with specialized targeted training workshops.

The secondary school teachers have been involved in programmes like the Step Up for Literacy Intervention.

Meanwhile teachers in all primary schools have had training in the Early Learners Programme and have received the necessary resources to compliment that training.
We are happy to be partnering the OECS and USAID in realizing such training for our teachers.

Our Pre-school teachers also participated in a Highscope curriculum training in Science and Technology and Social Studies in November 2018.

In August the pre-school teachers also received training in First Aid.

All these training workshops make our teachers well-rounded professionals and add value to our education product that we provide for our students.
The NIA pledges continued investment in professionalizing our teaching force.

Once again, the exams results for CSEC, CAPE and our local Test of Standards reflect the fact that our students have performed admirably over the past year.

The Gingerland Secondary School earned a 96% pass rate this year for CSEC, the highest in the Federation.

This is the third year in a row that the Gingerland Secondary School has earned that coveted spot.
The NIA is happy for the successes of all of our students, but we remain resolute in investing unreservedly in the overall education of our people to ensure that the great advancement we have made in education, continue to strive.

The Child-friendly School and Effective School models will continue to be encouraged in all our schools as we seek to reach, grow and develop all of our learners and bring about desired positive behaviors that we want our children to display at all times.
Throughout this school year, we are going to hear a lot about the CDB TVET Enhancement Project at the Multi-Purpose Centre at Charlestown Secondary School and the Gingerland Secondary School.

Already our teachers have had training related to the delivery of our TVET Programme.

A Sensitization and Orientation in Differentiated Instruction and Assessment Strategies workshop was held in September.

Over eighty (80) teachers and education officials benefited from this training.
A second course is being contemplated for December or early next year.

Alongside that, equipment directly related to delivery of TVET arrived on island in October.

These equipment include a considerable number of desktop computers, laptops and projectors and projector stands.

These will be delivered to Charlestown Secondary School and the Gingerland Secondary School.

Additional equipment will be procured in 2019.


These would include, electronic white boards, tools and equipment in hospitality, wood working, agriculture, apparel, automotive, welding, and other IT-related areas.

Meanwhile, five persons from Nevis received TVET scholarships, for both degree and short-term programmes, two in 2017 and three in 2018.

These individuals are studying in colleges in Jamaica and Trinidad.
On completion they will return to teach courses in our TVET Programme in Food and Agriculture, 196 11 - MINISTRY OF EDUCATION, LIBRARY SERVICES AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY Cosmetology, Electrical and Computer Engineering, Mechanical Engineering and Construction Technology.

This is a project that when completed, will enhance our vocational training for all in society, to make us more competitive in the job market.
The Education Sector Plan 2017 – 2021 continues to strengthen student support services at the Ministry and school level.

There is a new Specialist offering psycho-social and behavioural support to teachers.

A developmental checklist has been finalized for our kindergarteners and schools have received resources for the teaching of Health and Family Life Education.

These are just some of the things that the Education Sector Plan has brought to the forefront in delivering an improved education product.
Sports and extracurricular activities which include our cultural arts and craft skills will continue to be fully supported by the NIA.

We will continue to provide opportunities for our students to develop themselves in areas of Sports, Arts and Culture.

Protection and upkeep of our traditional sports such as cricket and football and our cultural art forms such as the masquerades , clowns, cake walk, maypole dancing and African drumming will continue to be main areas of focus for the NIA.
This Administration vows to do all it can to help generate interest in these areas and preserve the legacy of our sporting and cultural icons.The NIA has also invested heavily in Information and Technology over the past year and will continue to do so in the upcoming year.

Some of the projected enhancements that the Information Technology Department is set to undertake will be the deployment of an eGovernment platform for the NIA.
This platform will provide the base on which electronic government services can be deployed.

There is also the intention to provide campus-wide wireless access for the secondary schools and primary schools.

The NIA is also set to improve on our library services.

There is a planned upgrade to the Gingerland Library which would see an improvement in space, accommodation and resources.
All this would be in an effort to create a more conducive atmosphere for one and all to use the Library in the way that a Library is intended to be used.

The Ministry and Department of Education will continue to work with our private cooperate partners, civic groups, social organizations, regional and international entities in an effort to implement our education plan and strategies.

These plans and strategies will be the mechanisms that would be used to continue the improvement in our education product.
We thank all those who have contributed over the years to the development of and innovations in our education system.

We continue to indulge your support as we strive to enhance the quality of our education for all Nevisians.

....................................... Mr.


Troy Liburd Junior Minister Ministry of Education 1.2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Ministry of Education, Library Services and Information and Technology will purposefully stride forward in 2019 to boost the general value of education that it provides for all of our people, from the Pre-school level to Adult Education.

We look ahead with optimistic anticipation to the continued roll-out of the new Education Sector Plan 2017 -2021.
In 2019, a number of plans, strategies, upgrades and training that are specifically geared to deliver a more advanced quality of education to all nationals and residents, will be mobilized.

Also in 2019 The Ministry will continue to welcome and increase the partnership between other government Ministries and Departments to provide an all- 197 11 - MINISTRY OF EDUCATION, LIBRARY SERVICES AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY inclusive system of education for our students.
We specially look forward to continued partnership with the Sports Department to get our students involved in sporting tournaments such as football and cricket.

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

We will as well, continue to work with the Nevis Cultural Development Foundation (NCDF) to enhance the development of our cultural art forms such as the masquerade, maypole dancing, clowns and cakewalk dancing.
The Ministry will in 2019 remain committed in making these opportunities available for our students, so that they can be well-rounded individuals.

In 2019 we will continue to promote the Education Sector Plan’s theme “Education for all: Embracing Change, Securing the Future.” The Ministry wishes to offer thanks and appreciation to all our partners locally, regionally and internationally for their continued support.
......................................... Mr. Kevin Barrett Permanent Secretary Ministry of Education 1.3 MANAGEMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT I submit for tabling in Parliament, the annual Report on Plans and Priorities (RPP) for the Ministry of Education, Library Services and Technology for 2019.

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

The top level officers were engaged in a comprehensive exercise of strategic planning and collaboration in an effort to arrive at the plans and priorities outlined in this document and it is a true reflection of the views and mandate of the office of the Ministry as a whole.
The document will serve as an essential planning tool and working guide for the operation for 2019 and beyond and will act as an evaluation tool to assess performance.
………………………………………… Mr. Kevin Barrett Permanent Secretary Ministry of Education 2.4.1.4 MAIN ACTIVITIES CONTRIBUTING TO THE PORTFOLIO'S ANNUAL OBJECTIVES The St. Kitts Nevis Education Sector Plan 2017-2021 theme of Education for All: Embracing Change, Securing the Future is the platform which the Ministry of Education, Library Services and Information and Technology plans to use to propel forward in 2019.

The theme holds great relevance to the direction in which the Ministry intends to take education.
The theme, on the outset includes everyone.

Secondly, it allows for adaptability to an ever-evolving world and it has optimism for the future.

Therefore, it is axiomatic to a fault that one of the Ministry’s main objective is to provide the necessary landscape so that all of our people can be educated in order to allow them to exist harmoniously with an ever-advancing, technological world.
One way we in the Ministry of Education, Library Services and Information and Technology intend to hold true to our theme is to focus on the objective of the professionalization of our 198 11 - MINISTRY OF EDUCATION, LIBRARY SERVICES AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY teaching force.

The Ministry aims to do this by implementing a continuous professional framework, which would include a motivating career path to increase the retention of qualified persons in the teaching service.

This has started.
This has started.

Part of the evidence is seen in the five (5) persons from among us who have received TVET Scholarships within the past year to pursue various degrees and certification in short-term programmes.

One of the five is on the way to earn an Associate’s Degree in Cosmetology.

Another is set to gain a Bachelor of Science Degree in Agriculture.
Yet another will earn a Bachelor of Engineering Degree in Electrical and Computer Engineering and the other is set to earn a Bachelor’s Degree in Industrial Technology with a concentration in Construction Technology.

Three (3) of the individuals who received scholarships are teachers but all five (5) will teach their certified disciplines on return to Nevis.

A concerted effort is ongoing to get more teachers as well as all others to apply for the sponsored courses in TVET and other areas.
A TVET Facebook page is under construction and will be launched shortly to provide information on scholarship opportunities in the TVET Project and Programmes.

The intention is to offer more scholarships to our people in 2019.

Also, in the effort to professionalize our teaching force and equip them with the necessary knowledge to execute their duties efficiently, a Sensitization and Orientation in Differentiated Instruction and Assessment Strategies workshop was conducted in September of 2018.
Over eighty teachers and education officials benefitted from the workshop.

Differentiated instruction and assessment is a framework of effective teaching that involves providing different students with different avenues of learning, often in the same classroom.

Another such workshop is to be held shortly to provide similar training to more of our teachers.
Another way of professionalizing the teaching force which would be undertaken by the Ministry, is the modification of the existing initial training programme to provide quality professional development for untrained teachers in the system before matriculation to Teachers Training College.

This would also include a mentoring component as part of the modifications.
Another activity that the Ministry intends to keenly pursue in the upcoming year is the implementation of equitable deployment of qualified teacher to and within learning institutions and increase the number of qualified teaching in their field of expertise.

A mechanism will be established to analyze the needs of institution as they relate to teacher qualification to guide the deployment of qualified teachers.

The Ministry also intends to ensure that Special Education is on the front burner.
Individualized Education plans for each of the students will be further improved upon so that their specific learning needs are met.

Special focus will be put on exposing the students to a Special Education Curriculum, which is designed to develop functional literacy, numeracy and life and vocational skills for independent living.

Regarding Information Technology, it is the Ministry’s goal to deploy an E-Government platform that would enable all electronic services in the NIA to be inter-connect.
There are plans afoot to partner with the Caribbean Telecommunications Union (CTU) to execute this project.

The IT Department intends to make the E-Government services user-friendly and easily accessible.

Such a platform would improve the efficiency of government operations and procedures and overtime save money and time for everyone.

It is also the objective of the Ministry that the IT Department spearheads the deployment of the Education Management Information System EMIS to all primary schools.
This system would be used to ensure proper maintenance and updating of student records and 199 11 - MINISTRY OF EDUCATION, LIBRARY SERVICES AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY information.

It would enable student academic record-keeping to de done in real time.

Teacher-related information including the performance test records, an Integrated Curriculum and learning Management system will be major components of the EMIS system.
The Ministry is confident that its objectives and programmes will improve our education system for the 2019 Budget Cycle.

Mr. Edson Elliot Permanent Secretary Ministry of Human Resources 1.3 MANAGEMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT I submit for tabling in Parliament, the annual Report on Plans and Priorities of the Ministry of Human Resources for 2019.
The document to the best of my knowledge provides an accurate representation of the Ministry's plans and priorities for the use of resources allocated.

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

The document will serve as an essential planning tool and working guide for the operation for 2019 and beyond and will act as an evaluation tool to assess performance.
……………………… Mr. Edson Elliot Permanent Secretary Ministry of Human Resources 226 12 - MINISTRY OF HUMAN RESOURCES 2.4.1.4 MAIN ACTIVITIES CONTRIBUTING TO THE PORTFOLIO'S ANNUAL OBJECTIVES It is generally felt that the Public Service is the devoid of discipline.

Henceforth, it is necessary for employees to receive continuous education on the rules and regulations, particularly disciplinary actions and developing a more systematic, fair and progressive performance appraisal system.
It is also a concern that the Public Service Dress Code Policy is not adhered to.

Our work attire is perceived as an important aspect of our overall professionalism and customer service.

The objective is to transform this enabling culture, and encourage more professional attitudes and efficiency throughout the public service.

The addition of supervisory management courses delivered by the University of the West Indies (UWI) will also assist with improving the competence of our officers.
Discussions have revealed that quite a few Heads of Departments are burdened with responsibilities and need the on-going support from their middle management.

The aim here is to strengthen middle management’s know-how and to garner support from supervisors to higher management as well as entry level staff.
The topics are aimed to strengthen supervisors’ accountability and support to Permanent Secretaries and/or Heads of Departments, increase staff productivity, stimulate employee motivation and encourage more pleasurable staff deportment.
As a result, a combination of evaluation techniques will be utilized in order to ensure that officers receive training positively and that they are able to apply learning effectively; also to perceive challenges and forecast what additional assistance can be offered for further development.

The Employee of the Year Awards will serve as an incentive to generate high standards and productivity in the public service.
Once the criteria is established public servants will be encouraged to strive for the esteemed position of Employee of the Year.

Attractive Prices will be awarded and the self-esteem of the public servants be will raised thus resulting in a more efficient public service.

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

the efficiency of our human resource and our improving The Nevis Island Administration (NIA) is one of the largest employers on the Island.

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

The points below indicate how the lack of personnel negatively impacts us: i. ii.

This also the needs of each department.


Heavy Hiring external Training Professionals will alleviate some burden of constructing presentations training; however, outsourcing also denotes a heavy cost.

Outsourcing also and executing does not always effectively address internal examinations will still have to be completed to discern the most appropriate training topics and/or time and manpower, not excluding other takes significant duties such as handling scholarships and financial assistance procedures.
Training and development needs dedicated personnel, there is a high level of human expenditures that goes into assessing our environment, as well as planning and executing training programs.

Moreover, it is believed that at least two (2) officers assisting the Training Officer will support training division which provides more efficient the main objective of creating an support to all departments.
in-house Training equipment is also essential; it is an aspect that will need continuous improvement over the upcoming years.

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

We have acquired a LCD projector and we intend to acquire supporting equipment during 2019.
(Staff Reports and Other challenges encountered by the Ministry of Human Resources are the late submissions of request of public documents from Permanent servants and various recommendations Secretaries).

This retards the Ministries efforts to get matters dealt with in an efficient and timely manner.

The ministry intends to make full use of the Junior Clerk so that its capacity to deal with matters of training and administration is enhanced.

information will be the primary My Ministry will continue to give the strongest possible support to all sporting disciplines on Nevis.

We will continue to partner with all sporting organizations and to lend the necessary support that will make them stronger to better manage their respective discipline.

The Ministry is still not satisfied with the level of output from most of the associations and the Department of Sports will work even more closely with them during the next 12 months.
Work will also continue on the improvement of the sporting facilities across the island.

The youth of the nation represents the future and therefore my Ministry will empower the Department of Youth to ensure that the necessary programmes are developed to cater to the needs of the youthful population.

Programmes and initiatives will be innovative and creative to meet the growing needs of the youth.

My Ministry will encourage increased participation in the programmes form for youth.
It is the mandate of the Department of Information to provide public relations for all government Ministries/Departments and my Ministry will ensure that such mandate continues to be carried out.

This department is extremely critical as it provides that important link between the Government and the general public.

My Ministry will ensure that the Department of Information continues to provide timely and quality coverage to all Ministries and Departments.
The Department of Information continues to keep pace with all technological advancements making the news and other programmes available on most social media platforms.

The region’s premiere cultural festival Culturama will turn 45 in 2019 and plans are already afoot to make it’s staging the best ever.

Preparations for Culturama 45 commenced even before the 44th edition was completed with the launch of the slogan competition taking place simultaneously with the launch of the festival in 2018.
My Ministry will continue to forge partnerships with the private sector and members of the public on Nevis as well as in the diaspora to host another hugely successful festival in 2019.

My Ministry will continue to be at the forefront of social and community development.

We will continue to operationalize the social development strategy and ensure that the vulnerable and less fortunate in society are not left behind.

Whatever challenges confront the Ministry will be viewed as opportunities to work harder to carry out its policies.
............................................................ Honourable Eric Evelyn Minister of Social Development 234 13 - MINISTRY OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT,YOUTH, SPORTS, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND CULTURE 1.2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Ministry of Social Development has been extremely active in the 2018 period and these activities will continue in 2019 as social protection programmes from care for the elderly to investment in our youth are always a priority of the Nevis Island Administration.
The Ministry of Social Development, thus welcomes the opportunity to positively impact all sections of the society.

In 2018, The Social Services Department made great strides through its leadership and Family and Probation Division in strengthening its YTS-Yes To Success program.

The YTS success rate is so far very commendable with low recidivism rates and more than 65% of participants being able to retain full and part time employment.
Thus far 67 have registered; 49 completed the program; 80% male and 20% females 16 of the 49 had been in some sort of conflict with the law and of note are keeping out of trouble; 33 of the 49 were deemed at risk and have been assisted to a better path.

The Yes to Success will have a full operational home at Pinney’s Industrial Site in the new budget year, from where tiling, glass engraving, videography and hospitality preparedness and landscaping classes will be taught to unemployed youth.
The program will be in its fourth cycle and will finally have an infrastructural set up from which to operate.

The Government has invested in this site and OECS and USAID have contributed to equipment and technical assistance.
The Department will seek partnerships with existing community based organisations and assist them in developing and managing diversion and prevention programs for at risk youth that will meet the standards of the OECS Juvenile Justice Reform Project, spreading these efforts to reach more youths.
In 2019, a Suspension Program to be managed at Family Services will enable children sent home from school for violent and disruptive behaviours to benefit from proper assessments, counselling and other interventions, while keeping up with their school work under the YTS program.

This will give the schools support in dealing with deviant behaviour and enable the Probation Officers to do earlier intervention.
What this also means is that these children will have a program to report to daily, rather than being at home unsupervised during suspension from school.

The suspension program is an approved action point in the new Education Sector Plan for which Social Services will take the lead.

These efforts will broaden to include persons who are dedicating their lives to caring for our seniors through a “Care for the Care-Givers” program.
The program will create a supportive environment for family members who have the responsibility for seniors’ care; provide occasional respite from the magnitude of this responsibility.

Provide training seminars and interactions on a quarterly basis and link these caregivers to relevant assistance for which these persons might qualify, to help them better care for the elderly in a family and community setting.
In 2019 we will strengthen intergenerational bonding with seniors and youth through new programs in schools and at a community level which will enable seniors and youth to integrate and engage in meaningful activities.

St. Georges and St. Pauls parish residents received this targeted assistance in 2018.
Over 75 households were selected from these parishes and qualified persons who had formerly not benefitted from government programs received varying forms of government benefit; ranging from hot meals for senior citizens, subsidized utilities program for seniors, recreational program for seniors, Life Skills program for teen mothers, uniform and lunch assistance for 235 13 - MINISTRY OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT,YOUTH, SPORTS, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND CULTURE children, assistance with adult education CXC classes, RISE (Restore Inspire Secure and Empower families- a two year cash condition program).
In 2019, this effort will be expanded to St. Thomas and St. Johns.

Coupled with the National household assistance program for which the Department recently completed island wide registration.

In 2019 RISE will continue to bring counselling, and awareness training for the families in the following workshops: Management of Non-communicable Diseases 2.

Budgeting 3.

Preparation for Home and Land Ownership.


Under the program Social Workers work with these clients to get them to re-examine life style, money spending, and family decisions which contribute to their own poverty.

At the same time workers advocate on their behalf to connect them to private and government resources to improve themselves.
The RISE will launch its DADS initiative, aimed towards increasing male participation in the program; increasing positive interaction with children and fathers in homes where fathers are not present and increasing non-custodial maintenance payments to Single Mothers of RISE families.

The NIA, Social Services Household Registry Office kept a promise made to Nevisian households in 2015 as part of its celebration of International Families Day this year.
For a period of two years the new office has been registering households (approximately 1300 already) in a Household Registry to determine who our most vulnerable and needy persons are around Nevis so that we can connect existing government programs and services to these priority individuals.

In 2019, the Department of Community Development will conduct a three (3) day seminar with a focus on Community Tourism.
The aim of this seminar is to strengthen rural communities and support economic diversification that creates jobs for rural youth, women and ethnic minorities.

The community based tourism enables the tourist to discover local habitats and wildlife, and celebrates and respects traditional cultures, rituals and wisdom.
The community will be aware of the commercial and social value placed on their natural and cultural heritage through tourism, and this will foster community based conservation of these resources.

The implementation of a Community Development Gala and Award Ceremony will award persons who would have volunteered their time and service to Community Development.
Moreover, capacity building workshops for community groups will strengthen local leadership, build organizational capacity, and assist in individual transformation that will lead to community participation and action.

The 45th Anniversary of Culturama is expected to be a splendid occasion.
The Committee has already began its work to increase and extend the marketing of Culturama 2019 to attract greater participation from nationals at home and in the diaspora, and to increase an awareness of and an interest in the festival among non-nationals both regionally and internationally.

In the second quarter of 2019 the committee will organize a calypso and soca judging workshop.
Moreover, collaborate with the Department of Youth and Sports and the Nevis Cultural Development Foundation will continue in 2019 in order to host a costume designing and building workshop during the first quarter of 2019.

There will be an engage the Nevis Island Administration’s Legal Department, in reviewing the present criteria and rules and regulations for the various Culturama competitions.
