The fiscal year of 2020 has witnessed the unprecedented catastrophe of the COVID-19 pandemic which has inflicted a devastating wound to the health and economic systems of the island, the federation, the region and the world.

Navigating this inimical health and economic crisis requires efforts that are unparalleled, unpopular and unconventional.
It involved implementing protocols such as the wearing of face masks, staying a physical distance of 6 feet from one another and avoiding social gatherings which are second nature to us as a people.

The fear of mass importation of the virus by individuals coming to our shores resulted in the closure of our borders on March 28th.

These borders remained closed until October 30th.

Furthermore, the imposition of a 24 hour curfew or lock down caused an abrupt contraction in business activity.
These measures taken to contain the spread and negative health effects of the virus have resulted in the decimation of our formidable hospitality sector.

Concurrently, the revenue of the Administration has suffered a similar fate.

In reflection it seems that what had been the vision of 2020 has evolved into a nightmare for many individuals and businesses.
The response of my Administration to the COVID-19 crisis has been remarkable and includes a reduction in the income tax rates; a deferral of property tax; a removal of the value added tax on health items and a very generous concession package to the agriculture sector.

These policies in collaboration with the actions from the Federal Government, the Social Security Board and the financial institutions have helped to ameliorate the pain felt by many individuals.
It is in such hours of despair that the human spirit can be elevated and throughout this crisis the people of Nevis have demonstrated their resolve, fortitude and humanity.

In acquiescence with the health professionals our people have adhered to the protocols implemented to save lives; the outcome of which is a significant containment of the spread of the virus.
The spirit of community was quite evident throughout this ordeal and a good neighbourly attitude was amplified in village after village and parish after parish as person’s exhibited genuine concern for one another.

As we move forward together, it is important that this good community spirit continues.

We must be adequately prepared to respond to such crises in the future because it is not a case of if another crisis will emerge but when.
Polices to create a more diverse and robust Nevis must now take centre stage.

Our heightened awareness of the importance of food security must not be stymied as the legacy effects of the crisis declines.

We must ensure that Nevis becomes resilient in regards to our ability to feed ourselves which will redound to an increase in employment, a reduction in our food import bill and the availability of more organic provisions.
The investment in our health facility and 1 equipment will increase our resilience in the provision of health care services.

We must build on this enhanced resilience and ensure that the incidence of diseases especially non communicable diseases is on a firm downward trajectory.

Our people must concentrate on the preservation of their own health through good practices such as annual medical examinations, exercise and diet.

COVID-19 created a herculean challenge for our education system.
It called for a paradigm shift, a total reorientation in the delivery of learning to our students; one that involved a high component of online teaching and learning.

The Ministry and Department of Education must be commended for addressing a number of these challenges and while there are still hurdles to overcome, I feel the new system for the delivery of education can provide long lasting benefits to our students.

I remain cautiously optimistic about the outcome of 2021.
The uncertainty regarding the successful introduction of a vaccine remains a challenge for the hospitality sector.

My Administration has introduced a number of incentives to assist in the expansion of the construction sector.

These incentives will continue in 2021.

Our capital investment projects will provide added employment for our people as we navigate these unchartered waters in the hope that we will arrive on the other side as a more conscientious people.
I hope that 2021 will provide much more optimism than 2020 and we can begin to heal the financial wounds created as a consequence of the COVID-19 pandemic.

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.
The establishment of the Legislature office continues to enhance the integrity of the functions of the Legislature and contributes significantly to the development of a stronger Parliamentary workforce.

Over the past fourteen (14) years, there has not been any minutes tabled in the Nevis Island Assembly.

It is the aim of the Legislature’s Office to ensure that Procedures and documentation of the House proceedings remain paramount on the operation of this Office.
Further to this, it is our hope that we will be able to acquire the necessary equipment during the course of next year that would enable us to provide minutes of meetings on a regular basis.

We 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 continue to assist tremendously in creating visibility and understanding of the work 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 maintain the trust and respect of all.

The Department is led by a Legal Advisor and comprises one Senior Legal Counsel, four Counsels and various administrative and clerical staff.

The Department is housed in the Old Administration Building in cramped quarters that also houses the Companies Registry which falls under the supervision of the Senior Legal Counsel in her capacity as Companies Registrar.

The Legal Department provides the Cabinet and the Administration significant support by offering legal advice on a wide range of complex issues.
In order to be most effective, the cadre of Legal Counsel at the Department is required to have a keen understanding of government business, public service rules and regulations and to work closely with the Ministries, Departments and Statutory Corporations of the Administration.
Scope of Work of the Legal Department The Legal Department offers advisory support to all Ministries, Departments and some statutory authorities and executes legislative drafting assignments in support of the Administration’s legislative agenda.

One Junior Counsel is assigned to the Federal Director of Public Prosecutions for the purpose of facilitating prosecution of criminal matters in Nevis.
Counsel at the Legal Department are charged with the management of all civil litigation matters in which the Administration or any arm of Government is named as a defendant, and also are responsible for all public and private law matters involving the Administration.
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, though one Junior Counsel has attended some significant training in this area.
During 2020, the Legal Team was fully engaged with negotiating and drafting development agreements in respect of a diverse range of projects including geothermal energy production, airport, hotel and infrastructure development, and successfully represented the Administration in several litigation matters achieving resolution to outstanding vexatious matters at High Court and Court of Appeal levels.
Nevis has become an intensely litigious society as people increasingly turn to the courts in order to assert perceived rights and freedoms, and it is anticipated that this trend will continue.
While Parties and their Counsel are continuously encouraged to dialogue with the Department to avoid litigation where at all possible, all Ministries and Departments are reminded to consult with the Legal Department at the early stages of discussion and negotiation on procurement, planning, construction, labour, human resources and other matters.

However, there is still need for a Legal Counsel with substantial experience at the Bar.
In the last quarter of 2020 one Junior Counsel was granted study leave to pursue a qualification in Malta.

One Legal Assistant successfully completed her Legal Education Certificate from the Norman Manley Law School and will shortly be appointed as Junior Counsel.
These developments still leave the Team short of its full complement of Junior Counsel and in fact the Department needs to augment its staff establishment by addition of one Legal Drafting position, two more Junior Counsel and an additional Legal Assistant.
As the Department continues to play an integral role in the functioning of the Administration, it would be of immeasurable support for the Department if permanent positions for a Senior Parliamentary Counsel, two Junior Counsel and a Legal Assistant could be established.

In July 2020, the retirement of the Executive Officer from the Companies Registry occasioned a transfer of the recently installed Executive Officer from the Legal Department to the Registry.
Thus the Executive Officer post in the Department is to be filled by seeking a promotion for the incumbent Senior Clerk.

50 04 - LEGAL SERVICES However, the most pressing need for the Department is sufficient space to adequately accommodate its staff and the significant storage space required for its books and records.

There is no physical room for growth of the Department.
Staff Training It is recognized that both administrative and legal staff should engage in further training in order to achieve maximum efficiency.

In 2019 and 2020 the Administrative Staff attended government sponsored courses at the UWI Open Campus in Management and Customer Service.
Counsel participated in Virtual Conferences run by the OECS Bar Association and the St Kitts and Nevis Bar Association and one Counsel will travel to Malta to pursue a Masters Degree in Maritime Law with significant emphasis on drafting laws – a discipline which will be of significant importance to the Administration in the coming years as Region becomes more involved in the protection of the environment and the impact of maritime affairs on the jurisdiction generally and the Island of Nevis in particular.

We commenced 2020 with the great expectation of a thriving hospitality sector.

The Four Seasons Resort had recently completed its comprehensive renovation and the hotel bookings brought significant hope of one of the best high seasons we would have had in a long time.

In fact the first quarter of 2020 saw a major increase in the Value Added Tax (VAT) collected at the Inland Revenue Department.
The first quarter 2019 recorded VAT in the amount of EC$6.15 million for the same period in 2020 it was EC$7.34 million; an increase of over EC$1.1 million.

The second quarter of the year saw a complete change in fortunes.

The contraction in the economic activities of the hospitality sector had a heavy toll on the public finances of the Administration.

With great challenge comes great opportunity.


My Administration has taken the extraordinary opportunity to response to the human suffering caused by the pandemic and this is a testament of our compassion for our people above everything else.

The generous offers of reductions in income tax rates and waiver of fees and penalties at the Inland Revenue Department have cushioned the economic and financial effects on businesses.
The 2021 Budget Estimates was developed in recognition of the need to rebuild our economy as we transcend from an era of crisis to one of opportunity.

The evolution of our economy is inextricably linked to the resurgence of our tourism sector.

It is therefore important that public resources are oriented to support targeted and sustainable investment that has positive effects on the environment.
Moreover, the future success of the island depends on the astuteness, aptitude and competence of our people and our attention will be on ensuring that the robust rebounding of our economy will profoundly benefit our poeple.

Emerging from crisis to recovery requires an aggressive marketing strategy.
The Nevis Investment Promotion Agency will be at the heart of this strategy highlighting key economic sectors such as tourism, agriculture, financial services, renewable energy, Information and technology, light manufacturing and filming.

It has always been the objective of my Administration to cultivate a business environment that is conducive to the commencement and continuation of business.
The launch of the brand new website of the Nevis Investment Promotion Agency will provide exponential benefits in its promotion of Nevis as one of the premier destination for domestic and foreign investment.

This interactive and investor friendly platform will provide all the relevant information an investor needs to undertake a safe, sound and profitable investment.
The services provided by the agency to facilitate investment will play a critical role in the resuscitation of our economy in the coming year and beyond.

At the Ministry of Finance we have undertaken considerable amount of investment in the development of a state of the art registry system at the Financial Services Department.
The new secure portal, the Corporate Registry Integrated Search System (“CRISS”) will be internet-based, user-friendly and facilitate online access to services that are currently being offered by the Department’s Companies Registry.
I express my heart felt gratitude to the Ministry of Finance and all of its Departments for their continued commitment and dedication to the tasks of ensuring the adequate management of the government financial resources and supporting the objective of mitigating against the negative economic consequences of 2020 and 2021.
……………………………….......... Honourable Mark Brantley Minister of Finance 73 06 - MINISTRY OF FINANCE, STATISTICS & ECONOMIC PLANNING 1.2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The critical tasks of the Ministry of Finance is to oversee an economic recovery that is focussed on assisting individuals and businesses that have suffered most from the economic fallout of COVID-19.

Also, ensuring adequate resources are available to support the plans and programmes of the Nevis Island Administration has become even more critical.
The contraction in the financial resources in 2020 brought about by the pandemic will continue to impact our 2021 budget.

However, despite this contraction, the government has the responsibility of ensuring that public policies are implemented to cushion the effects on the economy and our people.
Policies such as the tax payment deferrals and reductions introduced by the Inland Revenue Department and the temporary removal of duties on medical supplies, hand sanitizers and computers by the Customs Department underscores the Ministry and its Departments’ commitment to our people.

The Treasury Department continues to meet its responsibility by ensuring that all payments are met which includes the payment of salaries, wages, regular contracts and procurement supplies.
The Department has been greatly challenged in 2020 and the challenge will continue in 2021.

Additionally, the Department continues to foster good public financial management practices by ensuring the timely and accurate completion of government financial accounts.

We must acknowledge the profound effects of this crisis on the finances of all the actors in society.
The swift and decisive action of providing a waiver or moratorium on debt service payment by the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB) and the financial institutions has in large measure cushioned the effects on households and businesses.

We at the Ministry of Finance are eternally grateful to the ECCB and those participating institutions for coming to the aide of our people in this their time of need.
It is expected that this need will continue into 2021 and thus we implore financial institutions to continue to provide this support where necessary.

The Customs Department's role is to assist in securing the borders of the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis and tax collection.

Both roles will be very vital in 2021.

The continuation of the COVID-19 pandemic increases the need to ensure our borders are safe through the effective detection of unlawful movement of people.
The revenue collection role of the Department is equally vital and there are measures that have been developed to improve the function of revenue collection.

In that regard, the Department is currently exploring pre-release measures that could be put in place to encourage social distancing, reduce paper use, cut back on stakeholder commute to and from Long Point and also create an electronic copy of customs documents for easy retrieval.
This measure would simply require that pre-release applications be made online.

This is intended to enhance the service delivery of the Department and improve its operational efficiency.

In 2021, the Department of Statistics will be fully engaged in the population census.

This exercise is a process designed to provide much needed data in relation to the composition and dynamics of our population.
This data when collected, analysed and published will be an essential tool in the planning process to guide the programs and policies of this Administration over the medium term.

To this end, the Ministry of Finance through our Statistics Department and in collaboration with their counterparts in St. Kitts have already launched activities for the 2020/2021 Population Census.
Our ability to recover from the economic decline caused by the COVID-19 pandemic will be determined by our ability to attract lucrative domestic and foreign investment.

Globally foreign investment has contracted by as much as 40 percent according to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development.

Competition to secure such investments once they begin to flow again will be extremely elevated.
Moreover, the pandemic has forced investors in the real estate development to rethink their 74 06 - MINISTRY OF FINANCE, STATISTICS & ECONOMIC PLANNING investment options and thus the promotion of Nevis as a viable place to invest while seeking to diversify our options away from investment in Real Estate development is vital.
We must now look toward investment in Agriculture, Information Technology, light Manufacturing, Medical Research and seek to develop a Filming Industry as potential new areas for development.

In light of this, my Administration is presently undertaking a project to revamp our main marketing arm; the Nevis Investment promotion Agency.
This revamping exercise will see the launching of a new interactive and friendly website platform encompassing all the features that investors will need to observe so as to attract them to invest in Nevis.
This new digital platform will form the basis for investment in Nevis as all potential investors both local and international, must first register on this platform, submit their project proposal and other pertinent documents which will then be reviewed and assessed by the competent staff at NIPA before submission to the Cabinet for consideration.
The Nevis Financial Services (Regulation and Supervision) Department continues to execute its mandate of regulating providers of financial services products as outlined in its various product legislation.

The Department has seen a slight increase in product registrations for 2020 compared to the same period for 2019.

The total number of entities registered during the 1st to 3rd Quarters for 2020 stands at 1,058.

For the same period in 2019, a total of 1,043 entities were registered.
The Department’s work programme for 2020 was severely disrupted by the occurrence of the COVID-19 pandemic and important projects had to be deferred until 2021.

One of which was the participation in the Caribbean Financial Action Task Force (CFATF) 4th Round Mutual Evaluation on the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis.

The Evaluation was scheduled for the period March 23rd – April 3rd, 2020 for the conduct of the onsite visit by Assessors.
However, the onsite visit was postponed due to the imposition of the COVID-19 pandemic related State of Emergency, the closure of the Federation’s borders and decisions taken by CFATF to restrict travel of their employees.

The Federation’s Evaluation will therefore take place during the 1st Quarter of 2021.
It will be evaluated on the basis of the Financial Action Task Force (FATF) Recommendations and the Interpretive Notes which are the International Standards on Combating Money Laundering and the Financing of Terrorism and Proliferation; the FATF Recommendations and for Assessing Technical Compliance with the Effectiveness of AML/CFT Systems.
the Methodology The new secure portal, the Corporate Registry Integrated Search System (“CRISS”) will be internet- based, user-friendly and facilitate online access to approximately 75% of the services that are currently being offered by the Department’s Companies Registry.

Every effort has been made to ensure that the CRISS portal meets data security control requirements and is compliant with all relevant international standards governing security management, access and monitoring.
System testing and a soft launch will occur during the months of November and December, 2020, respectively.

The portal will be officially launched in January 2021.

This is an extremely proud moment for the Department as it is the first time in 30+ years since the international financial sector has been in existence, that Registered Agents would be able to perform transactions online.
Furthermore, in 2021, the Department will continue to collaborate with the Inland Revenue Department to assist with preparations for Base Erosion and Profit Shifting related country assessments by the OECD Forum on Harmful Tax Practices; peer reviews by the Global Forum on Transparency and Exchange of Information for Tax Purposes and monitoring by the European Union.

……………………………… Mr Colin Dore Permanent Secretary Ministry of Finance 1.4 MAIN ACTIVITIES CONTRIBUTING TO THE PORTFOLIO'S ANNUAL OBJECTIVES The Ministry of Finance in the 2021 period is expected to undertake a number of activities aimed at management of the government financial resources; producing timely , accurate and relevant statistics for dissemination; marketing of the island as a sound investment opportunity; regulating the financial services sector and creating avenues for small domestic businesses to be created and grow.
The Administration Division will process business licences, tax exemption forms and investment proposals.

The Budget and Fiscal Divisions will develop, monitor and analyze government finances to ensure the proper execution of the budget and long run fiscal and debt sustainability.

Treasury Department will process and pay salaries, wages and other government payments, reconcile government accounts and produce the final accounts for the Nevis Audit Office.
The Customs and Inland Revenue Departments will ensure the timely and effective collection of government revenue.

The Customs Department will be fully engaged in executing its mandate of enforcement and border control.

Revenue collection will be at the forefront of the operations of the Department and collaborating with its counterparts in St. Kitts to ensure consistency in the operations on both islands will remain paramount.
Moreover, the Department will continue to expose staff to local joint training/workshops with the St Kitts Customs and overseas training for their development, and to ensure competence in the detection of criminality and contrabands.

The Department of Statistics is tasked with the responsibility of conduction the 2021 Population Census.

This census will collect vital information of the composition of the population on the island including information on gender and geographic location.
Such information is pertinent to the effective establishment of public policies.

76 06 - MINISTRY OF FINANCE, STATISTICS & ECONOMIC PLANNING Nevis Investment Promotion Agency has began a comprehensive re branding of its marketing and promotion functions.

The Department has commenced the establishment of a new website and is posed to undertake an aggressive marketing of the jurisdiction in 2021 and beyond.
Additionally, the Regulation and Supervision Department will ensure that effective procedures and practices are in place to safeguard the integrity of the financial service industry.

We cannot rebuild our economy and recover without a people centred approach to proper infrastructure development.

It has been a challenging year for all sectors due to the negative impact of the COVID-19 pandemic.

However we were able to weather the storm and made significant progress in our infrastructure development program in our Ministry for the fiscal year 2020.
For example, we were able to complete the main carriage ways at Brown Hill and Craddock Road as the Public Works Department (PWD) executed the Brown Hill Road Rehabilitation Project and the Craddock Road Rehabilitation Road Project despite delays due to the Covid-19 pandemic and the reduced availability of financial resources.

In the area of water, we have achieved much in 2020 as we have commissioned a water well at Hamilton Estate with a capacity of 230 imperial gallons per minute.
This well will feed into a Water Filtration or Treatment Plant located at the Hamilton Reservoir site which was recently installed and commissioned, making it possible for us to put more water in our water system in the Charlestown area.
We want to thank the Caricom Development Fund (CDF) for providing the grant funding for this water treatment plant and the Nevis Water Department, the Water Resource Management Unit, the Ministry of Communications & Works, Lakeshore Engineering and AdEdge Technologies Inc. out of the USA, for working together with us to achieve the goals of installation and commissioning of the system and the training of the NWD technicians.
Moreover, our building team at the PWD was able to assist various government departments, agencies and the Ministry of Health in their preparation for reopening of offices to the public after weeks of lockdowns due to the Covid-19 pandemic; and also with the installation of structures to facilitate and protect our frontline workers.

We commend the PWD Building Team on a job well done.

We will continue to build our infrastructure while paying attention to the needs of our people.
It is now time to look ahead with a view to rebuild our economy.

We have seen some buoyancy in the construction sector which deserves more attention going forward.

The Department of Physical Planning and Environment continues to support the construction sector to ensure that it remains buoyant and that our people are more educated on planning and environmental issues.
The Nevis Department of Labour also continues to work with all sectors in dealing with various issues in the labour market, including working with persons who have been affected negatively due to the pandemic.

Let me express my sincere appreciation to the management and staff the Ministry and all Departments for their continued commitment in 2020.

I look forward to working together with them in the next fiscal period as we rebuild and recover from this Covid-19 pandemic.
.............................................. Honourable Spencer Brand Minister of Communications 1.2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The fiscal year of 2021 will see the Ministry of Communication continuing its work to develop the physical infrastructure of the island.

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

Therefore, the Ministry will work to secure quality roads, water, postal services, buildings and good labour relations.
114 07 - MINISTRY OF COMMUNICATIONS, PUBLIC WORKS, WATER SERVICES, POSTS, PHYSICAL PLANNING, & ENVIRONMENT We are thankful that we were able to achieve much under the circumstances in the road sector and water sector.

The completion of the Brown Hill Road Rehabilitation Project and the Craddock Road Rehabilitation Project are testament of the hard work and dedication of the PWD department.
The installation and commissioning of the Water Treatment Plant and water well at Hamilton, a new chlorination system and more water storage are projects which will benefit the people of Nevis as we try to recover from the Covid-19 pandemic.

The Department of Labour on Nevis continues to play a vital role in rebuilding our economy as we try to recover from the hard blow from the pandemic.
It continues to educate the general public and the Nevis labour force on the application of the labour laws of the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis to ensure that there is fairness and harmony in the workplace.

The department played a vital role during the difficult periods following the Covid-19 pandemic and the laying off of some workers mainly in the hospitality sector.

It has been providing a public employment service for the citizens and residents on Nevis.
Let me thank all of the staff, management and allied agencies for their support during the last fiscal period.

We look forward to continued collaboration and cooperation as we work together to rebuild our economy and recover post the Covid-19 pandemic.

2020 was a challenging year and we would have seen where more of our people began to realise that our being able to produce our food was a significant opportunity that we failed to capitalise on.

The Ministry would have preached to our people over the last ten to fifteen years about food security.

Over the past two years in particular we achieved certain production goals but what has eluded us is the sustainability aspect.
The challenge with sustainability is directly affected by climate change and changing weather patterns.

The second aspect has been the traditional mindset of our farmers that produce so that they can earn revenue to fund non farming obligations.

As our population grows and develops our farmers need to supply food so that we can be fed regularly and on a sustained time frame.
Our technicians have been challenged to do the maths to ensure we understand issues like demand, consumption patterns, production scales, nutritional needs and plant science.

Having a good knowledge of these key issues ensures that the smart decisions are taken to achieve our established goals and population needs.
Vegetables, starches, proteins and minerals provide the necessary nutritional options for sustenance to our population, while we won’t be able to produce everything we can produce enough to be economically viable.

In 2021 with the completion of two major projects that installed walk in refrigeration units at Prospect and New River, we are in a better position to ensure we have the ability to extend the useful life of our fresh fruits and vegetables.
We would have also over the past year invested in water storage at New River allowing most of the more than 35 farmers to eliminate their dependency on potable water produced by the Nevis Water Department.

These two initiatives in particular serve to support our crop farmers and help them to reduce their costs of production and it is our hope that the savings would be passed on to the consumers here on Nevis.
The Nevis Housing and Land Development Corporation has continued to pioneer in the housing revolution that has happened in Nevis and not only providing affordable housing solutions across the island, but to make sure that Nevisians have access to a 'piece of Nevis' for their personal development whether it be home or business endeavours.

The NHLDC has and continues to support the NIA and the Ministry of Agriculture in particular as it relates to the acquisition of equipment and services needed for clients.
The management of the government quarry in the hills of New River has continued to be a major support for the infrastructural development projects across the island at a low cost thus reducing overall costs to the people of Nevis.

We are keen on ensuring that our land usage on the island is something that is done in concert with social and environmental policy to ensure equity and balance in both operational and living conditions.
The Ministry of Communications and others guide the necessary zoning of the relevant physical spaces that are allocated to ensure the comfort of residents as well as a range of commercial ventures.

While we are still very concerned about the Cooperative Societies on the island, we have seen where efforts are being made to have groups function cohesively across the sector.
These groups seem in many cases not capable to function at a cooperative level but non the less want to be in a position to benefit from the collective bargaining power of their members.
The Ministry is committed to assisting all groups or entities to improve their production across the sector, our farmers, fishers, agro-processors 142 08 - MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE, LANDS, COOPERATIVES, MARINE RESOURCES & DISASTER MANAGEMENT in terms of incorporating proper business practices and information and bee keepers both technology into their operations especially as accountability is a key goal.
The Ministry of Agriculture for 2021 will continue to assist individual primary producers to focus on business development.

This will enable our farmers to be more strategic in their operations as it removes guess work and arbitrary decision making, production and supply decisions should be based on resource inputs and consumer purchase patterns.
While there is the thrust as well to increase the mechanisation, in many ways the practices at both the public and private sector levels are mostly very traditional and labour intensive.

The pursuance of this paradigm shift in operations is necessary for our success, if we are to decrease the average age of our farmers we have to ensure there is an appeal return on investment and to work smarter and not necessarily harder.
The Ministry would have given much assistance to farmers during the stimulus package as part of the response to COVID-19 and that would have resulted in much wear and tear on the equipment used at our Engineering Division; as we seek to continue our thrust to make our island more food secure we have to continue investing in support structures and services.
Following the passage of legislation in the Nevis Island Assembly in 2020, the legal mandate has been given to tackle the monkey and donkey populations respectively; the numbers of both animals are at crisis stage.

We are not seeking to eliminate these animal species, however the need to reduce to manageable sizes that have minimal impact on farmers and farming activities.
Local research on monkeys has shown that the interaction with humans on health level shows diseases and bugs that can be transferred to humans and secondly their violent nature can injure vulnerable persons if the monkeys feel threatened.

The last five years on record have been the hottest in human history and there are consequences on small and vulnerable economies such as longer dry spells, rain deluges, more violent hurricanes and associated pests and diseases.
We continue to push protected agriculture or shade houses as it has proven to be an excellent solution to many of the problems experienced in traditional agriculture when it comes to short terms crops.

In 2021 we have identified eight main crops that we can be successful at having a sustained production.

We intend to pursue these with selected farmers for the first two crop cycle to achieve efficiency of scales and later in the year will seek to open export markets to neighbouring islands.
In 2020 we were unable to meet our goal of planting ten thousand fruit trees for obvious reasons, however in 2021 the Ministry will redouble efforts in planting fruit or tree crops such as soursop, guava, golden apples and citrus which yielded some success and as such will be continued.
Agro-Processing as a sector continues to be significant cottage industry and as demand for products increase we have found that individual processors have expanded their kitchens to accommodate, however we have not seen anyone brave enough to make a commercial venture.

Value Added products represent a significant opportunity for agriculture as it seeks to extend the consumption life of our local fruits and vegetables.
With assistance from IICA and other allied agencies the Nevis Agro Processing Centre has operated more than 15 years and demonstrated what can be done, however we are now embarking on a process where we look at the efficiency of producing certain items, standardisation of menus and packaging.

Just as we expect farmers to be strategic and accountable we have to lead the way and to ensure items are not just produced for show.
We are grateful for the assistance from Ross University School of Veterinary Medicine for their assistance in enhancing the quality of the cattle on our Maddens Stock Farm, the introduction of new breeds to the heard is having a positive impact.

We have seen the quality of animals improve which 143 08 - MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE, LANDS, COOPERATIVES, MARINE RESOURCES & DISASTER MANAGEMENT is allowing us to pass on the improved genetics to farmers.
It is expected within the medium term the island can be self sufficient in beef production.

In 2021 we would begin expanding the heard at maddens as we still have a deficit in beef production, further with the closure of our Indian Castle facility we are re-establishing our small ruminant production capability and to further develop our genetics in pig production.
We are currently working with the Ministry of Agriculture in St Kitts to develop a broiler industry where a slaughter house is being established in Prospect next to the Abattoir.

Based on our research we feel justified in this course of action as over the last five years in excess of $75 Million Dollars worth of chicken was imported into and consumed in our federation.
The strategy would allow for a number of broiler entrepreneurs who would undertake the growth of the chickens and then supply to the Department’s slaughter facility so that there is safe and standardised processing of chicken meat.

There was an excellent response from both retailers and consumers to the prospect of healthy and fresh chicken available on the island.

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

The appointment of an Enforcement Officer will also assist as we seek to ensure that while we support this sector we must also make sure that the law is upheld and persons are not taken advantage of.
Two of the major issues we are seeking to address are the installation of ramp facilities to launch and remove vessels from the water and to establish fuel facilities for fishers so they can access duty free fuel similar to fishers in St Kitts.

In 2020 once again we are spared from any major Hurricanes, however the staff at Nevis Disaster Management Department continue to work towards an aggressive education campaign to sensitise our people about both natural and man made events.
For more than two years the Department has partnered with schools and faith based organisations to create awareness with a multi-hazard campaign which has yielded some success.

The NDMD was and continue to be involved in the COVID 19 response as the Emergency Operations Centre houses the response agencies and assist in the coordination of the related activities.
The Ministry continues to process and facilitate the issuance of Alien Land Holding Licences to persons and entities wishing to operate or reside on Nevis, however we have noticed that quite some advantage has been taken of the system where speculations have occurred and in other cases the conditions of the licenses have not been adhered to.

We will work with the Ministry of Finance and the Nevis Investment and Promotion Agency to ensure that all matters related to this service are seamlessly undertaken.
The Ministry of Agriculture, Lands, Housing, Marine & Natural Resources and Disaster Management understand the portfolio responsibilities especially what it means for our people.

Our role seeks to ensure residents are safe and comfortable and are in a position not only to be fed but to have healthy options.
We believe that we have the resources to be self-sufficient in certain niche areas, we will further harness our human resources, available mechanisation and information technology in the right combination to support our people and economy.
.............................................. Honourable Alexis Jeffers Minister of Agriculture 144 08 - MINISTRY OF AGRICULTURE, LANDS, COOPERATIVES, MARINE RESOURCES & DISASTER MANAGEMENT 1.2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Ministry of Agriculture, Lands, Housing, Marine & Natural Resources and Disaster Management is comprised of four (4) Departments; the Department of Agriculture, Department of Marine Resources, Nevis Disaster Management Department and the State Owned Enterprise - Nevis Housing and Land Development Corporation.
The Nevis Housing and Land Development Corporation is a statutory body administered exclusively by its own management team and a Board of Directors.

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

The Department of Agriculture is grateful for the support 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 Department of Marine Resources also support the Nevis Fishermen’s Marketing and Supply Cooperative Society as this remains an important body within the sector.

The Ministry through the Project Officer and Accountant will work with clients on an individual level and coordinate with the Departments of Agriculture and Marine Resources and provide that much needed management support that is required to advance this sector.
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.

The Ministry of Health and Gender Affairs in collaboration with PAHO and CARPHA has successfully undertaken a rigorous preparedness, response and control measures to deal with this pandemic.

Initially, the Ministry ensured the public was engaged and kept up to date with the provision of health information and disease prevention activities coordinated by the Health Promotion Unit.

Early border control has also resulted in the remarkably low infection rates.
The actions taken to date were necessary to protect the health and safety of all Nevisians and were critical to mitigating the spread of the Corona virus.

The pandemic however, magnified our inadequacies and provided us with an opportunity to strengthen our health care systems as it relates to resources, equipment, procedures and medical supplies.

The Ministry also benefited from the generosity of PAHO, CARPHA, foreign ally governments and corporate systems.
It is common knowledge that effective public health measures including those aimed at improving health systems have the potential to be economic engines.

The year 2021 will see the Ministry continuing its health promotion and disease prevention activities.

These would not only be geared at Communicable diseases such as COVID-19 but also Non Communicable Diseases (NCD’s) such as diabetes, hypertension, cardiovascular diseases and cancers which remain a Public Health threat.
The prevention of NCDs was identified as a core priority of the Sustainable Development Goals.

Therefore, the roll out of the second phase of the Ministry and Taiwanese public health project will see the implementation of key health initiatives aimed at improving the prevention, detection, management, and treatment of NCDs.
Our overall public health infrastructure will improve on assessment and preparedness planning; surveillance and laboratory capacity, risk communication and health information dissemination.

We will continue to invest in the primary care model while increasing access to essential diagnostic equipment and medicines at the institutional level.

This will be done by purchasing essential pieces of equipment for areas such as the Laboratory and the Radiology Department.
The Ministry will continue to increase online training of its health professionals at all levels.

This will ensure that the workforce is appropriately skilled to deliver co-ordinated care to a diverse population with increasingly complex care.
In rebuilding our economy, the Ministry will reaffirm and strengthen its commitments to gender equality and Women’s empowerment and adopt policies, programs and projects that will address socio-economic gender inequalities that have been further exacerbated by the Corona Virus pandemic.

This approach will greatly help in the recovery process.
We will in 2021 seek to continue our collaboration with international partners to ensure that we have access to training and any other resources that might become available.

……………………………………… Mrs Hazel Brandy-Williams Junior Minister Ministry of Health 1.2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The principles of Health Economics look at how to deploy limited healthcare resources in the face of spiralling demands.
The COVID-19 pandemic has heavily impacted not only the economic and social fabric of our island but also significantly increase the demand for medical personnel, equipment and supplies.

Additionally, the social and economic consequences of the crisis has undoubtedly impacted 162 09 - MINISTRY OF HEALTH AND GENDER AFFAIRS the population’s health and mental wellbeing and risk deepening some inequalities even further.
This public health crisis however, also created many opportunities for the Ministry of Health & Gender Affairs.

We have a chance not only to preserve the Ministry’s mission, but also to upgrade and modernize our healthcare and delivery systems.

Over the past ten months the Nevis Island Administration would have revisited the proportion of the public budgets devoted to health care.

The Ministry received additional funding to purchase much needed live saving diagnostic, medical equipment and supplies.
Our health facilities were recipient of many generous donations from local, regional and International organisation as well as foreign governments.

In spite of the ongoing COVID 19 pandemic, the foremost challenge for the Ministry is to respond to an increasing prevalence of chronic illnesses such as diabetes or heart disease in a way that satisfies public expectations for co-ordinated care and avoids unnecessary use of costly secondary care.
Prevention, both primary and secondary plays a critical role in reducing the burden of chronic disease and multiple morbidities.

Since many of these conditions are lifestyle related we continue to empower individuals through health education and health promotion activities which encourage them to lead health active lifestyles and actively participate in their health and healthcare.
It is also essential that the Ministry have a healthcare workforce of sufficient size, composition and training to carry out the delivery of care.

We will ensure this is possible by using the framework of strategies to train, sustain and retain the workforce in both the short-term and long-term.
The year 2021 will see the Ministry entering the critical stage of the Alexandra Hospital expansion Project, which must be properly designed and funded, to ensure our healthcare staff have a world class facility to deliver cutting-edge care and meet the changing needs and rising public demand in the years to come.
We will embark on the further integration of health technologies which are an indispensable part of the services offer to prevent, diagnose and treat disease and alleviate disability and operational deficiency.

The introduction of telemedicine in the Eye Care services was a creative way of maintaining continuity of care and doctor patient support even during this pandemic.

This is a service we hope to expand to other clinical areas.
The implementation of the Hospital Information System will encourage innovative uses of infrastructure technology to connect health care providers electronically, provide online information access, and facilitate data exchange.

We also intend to bolster our diagnosis capabilities with the purchase of a few pieces of critical equipment for the Lab and Radiology Department, and move towards improving coverage of essential medicines and medical supplies.
Rebuilding our economy entails innovations, community health improvement and people empowerment all of which can have a demonstrable positive impact on health outcomes and our island's economic growth.

Visitor demand has diminished, with travellers taking a cautious approach to travel, due to all of the various international requirements, restrictions and protocols that have been put in place for local, regional and international travel.

Therefore, our focus as a tourism destination has shifted towards survival and preparation.

The sector will have no choice but to co-exist with COVID-19 and adapt to the operational changes brought on by this pandemic.
We must be prepared to handle these new realities that will require us to maintain a delicate balance between economic survival and sustainability, and the health and safety of both residents and visitors.

The tourism outlook for 2021 is shrouded in uncertainty but there is still a fair amount of travel demand, as COVID-19 weary visitors are seeking travel bubbles that are relatively COVID-free.
In preparation for the re-opening of the nation’s borders, the Ministry of Tourism, in collaboration with the Ministry of Health and the Nevis Tourism Authority (NTA), led an extensive training campaign engaging 1,300 persons during the sensitization training and a further 294 persons took part in the train the trainer sessions.
This was the prelude to the issuing of the St Kitts and Nevis Travel Approved Seal, which is a national emblem endorsing tourism establishments that have met the relevant and compulsory COVID-19 protocol requirements for health and safety.

The emphasis on tourism product development for 2021 will be on capacity building and training, with an emphasis on entrepreneurship, as our people will be required to consider new paradigms and new ways of operating in order to remain relevant and practical.
The Ministry of Tourism will also continue its tourism education and public awareness drive through its tourism education programme involving students at all levels of our education spectrum and our valuable stakeholders.

The Ministry will continue to engage in the Hospitality Assured Programme which is championed by the Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO) as a vehicle to promote organizational excellence in the tourism industry.
We must congratulate the Oualie Beach Resort for re-certifying under this programme in January 2020 and encourage other hospitality enterprises to become similarly involved in Hospitality Assured.

Our community tourism programme will continue in 2021 in St Thomas’ Parish after the successful roll- out of two pilot modules in Bath Village and Butlers.
We feel that community-based tourism is a critical component of our tourism product, as our visitors seek genuine tourism experiences through interaction with our locals who obtain additional avenues for livelihoods and improve their earning capacity.

We will also continue to lend our support to community based festivals and agro-tourism tours which play important roles in this type of tourism.
In 2021, 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.

Our taxi operators and tour guides are critical stakeholders – in August 2020, we conducted a training course for Prospective Taxi Operators and Tour Guides.

Seventy-two participants completed the course.


This is a record number of attendees with the highest in the past having been around 40.

Among the 72 persons were 15 women and the average age of the trainees was 35 years.

These are encouraging demographics which underscore the Administration’s thrust towards empowering women, the young and disadvantaged members of society.

Hence, the administration’s pledge to continue to support this vital sector.
190 10 - MINISTRY OF TOURISM There has been concrete progress at the Pinney’s Park Project during the year 2020 with actual construction having started.

This includes the construction of public bathrooms, parking lots, the lawn amphitheatre and landscaping which is being done simultaneously with the construction of the buildings.

The park will also bring much needed employment to as many as 50 Nevisians during the course of construction.
Upon completion, scheduled for December 2021, the park will boast a visitor centre with a revolutionary turf covered roof design, a children’s playground area, a half basketball court, elevated walkways, a picnic area, an open air amphitheatre and a large central area which will accommodate the hosting of large events such as the Culturama Food Fair.

The NIA continues to demonstrate its commitment to the protection of our environment through its support of such initiatives as the Plastic Free July.
The NIA continues to pledge its support in the drive to eliminate or significantly reduce single use plastics which causes so much damage to the environment.

Inter-regional airlift has been a challenge at the Vance Amory Airport but also throughout the Caribbean.

We are working to develop a new air service that will provide connectivity to neighbouring islands.

This air service will provide job opportunities for locals as well as increased travel within the region.
One of the highlights for 2020 was the re-launch of Cape Air’s Flight from San Juan to Nevis providing more access for our source markets.

The Nevis Tourism Authority welcomed a new CEO, Ms. Jadine Yarde, in February, 2020 of this year.

Ms. Yarde was selected from a field of over 40 candidates and was selected based on her innovative marketing approach which focussed on digital strategy and her ability to bring a new and fresh perspective to the table.
Ms. Yarde has come to Nevis in the midst of a most challenging time and has risen to the occasion with uniquely creative and effective marketing initiatives.

The NTA’s focus has shifted with more emphasis being place on a digital marketing strategy which would include the hosting of signature events such as the Nevis Mango Festival virtually, brand refreshing, upgrading video and photo content and virtual familiarization tours.
A 17% increase in our digital engagement, following and overall presence via social media has already been realized and this is forecasted to increase by 20% by the end of 2020 and into 2021.

The NTA will also refresh its public relations arrangements to ensure that Nevis’ presence in print and online is maximized.

An upgrade to the NTA’s website, nevisisland.com is also a critical part of this digital strategy.
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 a pivotal position in the economy and that it is strengthened even further.

Thus, providing a mechanism for resilient, sustainable and inclusive economic growth and development for the island even in the face of COVID-19.
.............................................. Honourable Mark Brantley Minister of Tourism 1.2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The following represents the mission, goals and activities of the Ministry of Tourism for 2020.

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

The document remains cognizant of the various challenges which we have faced and continue to grapple with over the past year.
These challenges have the potential to derail the gains made over time, but 191 10 - MINISTRY OF TOURISM 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, that with the blending of the old and new programs an enabling climate could be created to facilitate the growth and development of the economy, which would eventually benefit all Nevisians.
The focus for 2021 is therefore ensuring that there is a delicate balance between facilitating the economic viability of our Tourism Sector and ensuring the safety and health of our citizens and visitors in the midst of the COVID-19 pandemic.

The Ministry remains committed to the concepts and ideas which it had engaged in previously.

However, there will be some modification which is expected to reflect the changing dynamics and 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 maintain a sense of traditional hospitality values.
........................................... Mr John Hanley Permanent Secretary 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 for 2021.

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 2021 and beyond and will act as an evaluation tool to assess performance.

With the effects of the global pandemic (COVID - 19) reaching the shores of our island, the Ministry of Education on Nevis has made necessary and relevant adjustments to cope effectively with COVID-19.

The closure of schools in March 2020 due to COVID-19 was efficiently responded to in the first instance with students being given school work packages to take home that kept them engaged in their learning while away from the classroom.
The Ministry partnered with local internet providers to secure access to online educational platforms such as Flow Study, which provided self-paced work for students.

The access to such websites allowed students to review and reinforce previously taught concepts, do exercises at their own pace and there was the assurance that students were never devoid of school-related work.
While holding true to the people-centered approach to economic recovery the Ministry invested heavily in our teachers in order to prepare them to be competent in providing virtual teaching and learning experiences for our students.

There was a significant investment in contracting a local expert and facilitator with extensive experience in the online teaching and learning tool, Microsoft Teams, who trained our teachers to use this platform to teach our students from a remote locations.
The teachers did not only participated in the training but they were able to in the end use their acquired skills and knowledge to conduct online classes with their students.

Education in Nevis as we know it is indeed evolving.

However, in order for the online classes to be a reality, a substantial investment had to be made in our students also.
So in order to provide equitable access to the online platform of Microsoft Teams, the Federal Government and NIA ensured that our students were properly equipped.

The Ministry conducted surveys to determine the need for internet service in the homes of students and how many households were devoid of an internet-capable devise.

The surveys resulted in over fifty homes being connected or reconnected with internet with three-month free access.
This was made possible through a partnership between the government and our local internet providers, Cable and wireless and Digicel.

Over three hundred (300) brand-new tablets were loaned to students.

This investment indeed made it possible for students to participate in online school work and virtual classes while we all experienced the COVID -19 stay-in-place restriction.

The Ministry of Education will continue to invest in our staff and student to provide the best quality education possible.
After some of the restrictions for COVID-19 were lifted and it became clear that we would be able to resume face-to-face classes, the Ministry took the health and safety of our staff and students as its top priority.

The Ministry did a tremendous amount of work in ensuring that society at-large felt confident and satisfied that staff and students were returning a highly-sanitized and safe school environment.

The Ministry executed a massive undertaking of deep cleaning and sanitizing of all public schools.
Professional cleaning companies with the appropriate and necessary equipment and materials were contracted to get all schools ready to receive students on September 7, 2020.

That was achieved with high level of success.

Hand washing stations were constructed at the entrances of all schools.

Full-time sanitizing custodians were employed at the schools to sanitize the classrooms throughout the day.
The schools are supplied with gallons and gallons of hand sanitizing liquids for the staff and students to use.

The Ministry’s six (6) school buses now have on-board a school bus attendant who is charged with sanitizing the bus before students embark and after students disembark.
The Bus Attendant ensures that the names of all students who take the bus are recorded, that there is physical distancing in the seating arrangement on the bus, students wear a mask and all school bus rules as set out in the 202 11 - MINISTRY OF EDUCATION, LIBRARY SERVICES AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY School Bus Transportation Handbook.

To ensure that schools adhered to the COVID-19 Guidelines regarding physical distancing in the classroom, new furniture had to be built.
This was another significant investment in prioritizing the health and safety of our students.

Where there were “double desks” in classrooms that accommodated two students seated relatively close together, these desks were replaced by “single” desks so that the stipulated space could be made between each student in the classroom.
Also, because of stipulated physical distancing protocol between students in schools, we determined that the Charlestown Pre- school needed more floor-space to effectively accommodate the number of students enrolled.

The ministry’s response to that situation was to rent a very adequate building in St. John’s parish, add that building to the deep cleaning and sanitizing schedule, retrofit it with all the necessary amenities to make school-worthy and employ the necessary staff.
That school is now referred to as the Charlestown Pre- school Phase 2.

The COVID -19 Compliance Task Force was satisfied that the Ministry had a thorough job of ensuring that all schools were indeed ready for re-opening and we had a smooth reopening of school for the school year 2020-2021 on September 7.

Our Public Library has endeavoured to maintain a high standard of service despite the restrictions due to the COVID -19 pandemic.
The officers at the library were very efficient in responding to this global crisis.

They already had measures in place prior to the March 27th lockdown.

These measures were re- employed and fully enforced upon re-opening of the institution on May 11th, 2020.

There were multiple sanitization stations in place, frequently-touched surfaces were sanitized throughout the day and mask wearing by patrons and officers were openly done.
Our library has done several things to remain relevant to the public at this time when some say libraries are losing their pertinence in light of the availability of electronic media.

One way our library is seeking to remain important to patrons is to build the skills capacity at the Library.

Thus, some officers have been trained to use the online teaching and learning tool Microsoft Teams.
Such knowledge and experience is relevant for the library as the library is now offering help to students with homework and other assignments from their various schools.

This is done through a new service call After School Assistance Programme, which began early in October 2020.
The programme seeks to assist primary school and high school students with following objectives in mind: to help students gain and improve necessary cognitive skills for the core subject areas of mathematics, English, Science and Social Studies; to provide a free and accessible means for students to gain additional instruction in problematic areas of the core subjects; to provide an environment outside of the school setting for exploration, research and creativity.
In the event of another lockdown and students would not be able to physically visit the library, officers would still be able to reach and help students who have accessed the programme through the use of Microsoft Teams.

Another way that the library has embarked on the drive to remain relevant is its relocation to a new site.
This building now affords a modern look to the interior of the library, better lighting, better computers, faster internet service, more comfortable working space for the officers and a new section of the library called the Toddler Lap Reading Area.

The name of this area itself tells of its purpose.


Our well-known artist Mr. Vaughn Anslyn has done a fantastic child-friendly mural in that area that is sure to attract any child to sit in that area and listen to stories being read by their parents and or library staff.

With such a programme, the library is setting the foundation for even toddlers to have a great interest in, and an appreciation for reading.
Special carpeting and cushions furnish this area to create a cozy and comfortable environment for reading.

203 11 - MINISTRY OF EDUCATION, LIBRARY SERVICES AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY Library users also have the option of using the library’s Online Public Access Catalogue (OPAC) to search the collection of publications and reserve books and arrange pick-up times.

The library is also actively pursuing the service to e-books and is looking forward to soon being able to have patrons borrow books online.
The staff is anxiously looking forward to the day when they can once again resume some of the face-to- face programmes which are on-hold due to physical distancing restrictions.

The very popular and high- attended Library Summer Camp was sorely missed this year.

Our library service continues to endeavor to maintain a high standard service to the general public and is always looking for interesting and innovating ways to service one and all.
................................ Mr Troy Liburd Junior Minister Ministry of Education 1.2 EXECUTIVE SUMMARY The Ministry of Education, Library Services and Information Technology will do its part to support the rebuilding of the economy through a people-centered approach as put forward by the Nevis Island Administration.

The global pandemic COVID-19 has caused the Ministry to focus on the health and safety of all who fall under the umbrella of Education, Library Service and Information Technology.
The crisis has made it obligatory for the Ministry to do its share to mitigate the effects of the virus.

Therefore, we were convinced from the start that we were to support and provide for the protocols that are set forth by the COVID -19 Task Force.
The Ministry ensured and still encourages the sanitization of frequently touched areas (additional school custodians were employed), hand washing (hand washing stations were built on school compounds), mask wearing (disposable masks were distributed to schools) and physical distancing (furniture was bought to ensure physical distancing could be done in classrooms.)

These measures are absolutely important to us if we are to effectively deal with the threat of the virus.
Thus, the Ministry aims to continue to put health and safety first and invest purposefully in its education officers, all school staff, students, schools maintenance crew and its administrative officers.

Already the Ministry of Education has responded with great efficiency to the COVID-19 crisis by offering training to teachers in how to use Microsoft Teams as a teaching and learning option for students.
The Ministry also ensured that its schools, offices and other work areas were fit for occupation before allowing the used spaces.

This was done through extensive cleaning and sanitization of all our schools by cleaning companies.

The Ministry will move forward positively in 2021 with a blended approach to education where students will have the benefit of virtual classes as well as face-to-face lessons.
We are living in a ‘new-normal’ that requires us to adapt quickly to the changes of delivering content to our students and officers through all the means available, be it electronic or hard copy.

As the Ministry pursue its goal of Education for all –Embracing Change, Securing the Future, we will continue to collaborate with all of our public and private partners.

Our successes could only be realized if we continue with and strengthen these partnerships.
The Ministry is committed to the holistic development of all staff and students.

The Ministry will endeavour to do this through providing and supporting training, teaching and learning activities that are necessary for self-actualization.

204 11 - MINISTRY OF EDUCATION, LIBRARY SERVICES AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY The Ministry expresses thanks and appreciation to everyone who assisted us in delivering top quality education and excellent service to one and all in our society.
......................................... 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 2021.

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 2021 and beyond and will act as an evaluation tool to assess performance.

……………………………… Mr. Kevin Barrett Permanent Secretary Ministry of Education 1.4 MAIN ACTIVITIES CONTRIBUTING TO THE PORTFOLIO'S ANNUAL OBJECTIVES It is the Ministry of Education’s paramount objective to fulfil its mandate to implement the 2017-2021 Sector Plan (ESP).
Of particular focus for the Ministry of Education during the period 2019-2020 are activities which support the realization of the ESP policy goal two (2) which is to “Strengthen the quality and relevance of education at all levels to improve learning outcomes”.

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

It is also the Ministry’s objective to formulate an enhanced curriculum specific to St. Kitts and Nevis but 205 11 - MINISTRY OF EDUCATION, LIBRARY SERVICES AND INFORMATION TECHNOLOGY with regional and international relevance.
This resulting curriculum from Early Childhood through the to Post-Secondary Technical Vocational Education and Training will emerge Curriculum and Assessment Framework and will be based on International Standards.

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

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

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

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

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

The effective use of technology coupled with extensive curriculum materials obtained from a variety of sources will reduce dependence on traditional textbooks.
The structure of the education system will have different education pathways and wider selection of courses to reflect different students’ interests with the hope of having offerings that will be attractive to more students and result in increased retention.

Students will receive a secondary school diploma when they have met the criteria for graduation, which had been stabled as a set of core and elective courses to be completed in Forms three to five (3-5).
While these courses will also prepare students to take existing regional examinations, the scope of such courses will extend beyond what is contained on existing CXC generated syllabi in order to meet the seven essential competencies outlined in the Curriculum and Assessment Framework.
Accompanying the Curriculum and Assessment Framework is a quality Teaching Learning and Leadership Framework which is designed to describe how equity, engagement, excellence and empowerment might be achieved in the education system of St. Kitts and Nevis.

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

The Government’s shutdowns and Emergency Powers (COVID-19) Regulations called for reassessments and adjustments within the public service.

Our public servants generally rose to the challenge and were responsible for implementing the relevant adjustments that have proven to be successful for our survival.

We therefore applaud the efforts of our public servants.
Despite the major challenges, the Nevis Island Administration was able to keep its public servants fully employed without any salary cuts or deprivation of government benefits.

We continued to provide Financial Assistance for our tertiary level students and we were even able to provide some Special COVID-19 Relief Aid to our students who were trapped overseas.
As we continue to engineer ways of sustaining the support for our public servants and tertiary level students, we must reassess our strategies of reporting on the performances of such.

In these times when government financial resources are under the greatest demand then our public servants and tertiary level students must be encouraged to be conservative and strive to give of their very best.

In 2021, we will be engaged in training sessions to facilitate public sector reform.
We will place more emphasis on our priority list to facilitate financial assistance to tertiary level students.

Finally, we will ensure that more residents are accessing the scholarships that are available for the citizens of St. Kitts and Nevis.

Our ultimate goal is to ensure that our young people are offered relevant opportunities for the development of Nevis even during this COVID-19 Pandemic.

We will be "Rebuilding Our Economy; A People Centred Approach to Economic Recovery".

…………………………………… Mr I. Edson Elliott Permanent Secretary Ministry of Human Resources 1.3 MANAGEMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT I submit for tabling in Parliament, the annual Report on Plans and Priorities (RPP) for the Ministry of Human Resources for 2021.
The document to the best of my knowledge provides an accurate representation of the Ministry’s plans and resources allocated.

It is consistent with the disclosure principles contained in the guidelines for preparing a Report on Plans and Priorities and is based on sound office information and management systems.

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

As a result, it will serve as a planning tool and working guide for the 2020 operation and beyond and will also act as an evaluation tool to assess performance.
……………………………………… Mr I. Edson Elliott Permanent Secretary Ministry of Human Resources 1.4 MAIN ACTIVITIES CONTRIBUTING TO THE PORTFOLIO'S ANNUAL OBJECTIVES Training and development topics have been formulated to assist in both management and staff performances as well as their general deportment.

Furthermore, management and staff must undergo regular and strategic training and development in areas relative to their employment governance.

As well as their academic and professional growth.


This will not only stimulate employee’s professional behaviour and their competences but importantly it will assist with bridging the gaps between 233 12 - MINISTRY OF HUMAN RESOURCES management and staff and demonstrate how they should coexist.
Training in areas such as Recruitment and Selection, Disciplinary Actions, Dress Code and Performance Reports will be geared towards revitalizing and sustaining a more positive approach to public service governance.

Consistency will be demanded in these areas to ensure satisfactory levels of efficiency and professional standards.
The improvement of our recruitment and selection process will be aimed at developing and sustaining a progressive and productive approach to selecting individuals for promotion or employment.

Furthermore, it will encourage talent management, employing the right skills for the job, positive workplace morale and it will ultimately contribute to greater efficiency.

Finally, It will influence a more systematic, fair and transparent approach to staff promotion or new employment.
Education on the procedures for discipline, dress code and performance reports will be aimed at diminishing the perception of punishment and control but rather inspiring the heads of department to swiftly correct destructive environments.

The training will encourage a progressive atmosphere where employees will be knowledgeable about employee expectation.

However, the persistence of poor performance will result in the appropriate consequences.
Henceforth, the approach will be to be consistent and thorough through education, training, monitoring, and evaluating performances, providing guidance to keep employees on the right track thus preventing poor behaviour.

Supervisory Management and Administrative Assistant Training will contribute to the rebuilding and strengthening of management structures as well as moulding more competent and reliable support staff.
It is inevitable for management to effectively supervise all aspects of large Ministries/Departments so making the best use of all department structures is crucial.

As a result, management teams will be strengthened to support successful leadership.

Additionally, lower staff capability will be enhanced for more dependability thus equilibrium in department efficiency.

Activities will be implemented to recognise the contributions made by long serving public servants.
These activities will highlight the contributions and reward the public servant in a way so as to boost staff morale and provide an incentive for greater productivity.

Conclusively, the right proficiencies, practising positive employment governance as well as strategic performance management and employee development will be pursued in 2021.

We are hopeful that this will result in improved job satisfaction and employee retention.
1.5 MAIN CHALLENGES TO ACHIEVE PORTFOLIO'S ANNUAL OBJECTIVES The major challenge encountered in 2020 was the COVID-19 Pandemic and its associated regulations and protocols.

The government lockdowns prevented scheduled training from materializing.

This created a back log in sessions.

Subsequently, budgetary constraints also restricted the training team from completing sessions.
Our efforts were also hampered by the various requests from other Ministries outweighing the availability of officers at the Ministry of Human Resources.

These requests included follow up training sessions or interventions.

The Ministry of Human Resources engaged external trainers to alleviate the burden placed on the training team.

However, outsourcing resulted in heavy costs and budgetary constraints in 2020 have restricted our use of external trainers.
We have observed an increase in the awareness regarding scholarships.

However, we continue to 234 12 - MINISTRY OF HUMAN RESOURCES experience challenges in the short term deadlines for scholarship applications.

The Employee of the Year Award Ceremony had to be cancelled due the budgetary constraints as well the COVID-19 pandemic.

Additionally, the Emergency Powers (COVID-19) Regulations implemented in 2020 have restricted mass gatherings.
235 12 - MINISTRY OF HUMAN RESOURCES Global Objectives To optimize Human Resources in the Nevis Island Administration by motivating and evaluating staff, also applying the rules and regulations of the public service in a fair and equitable manner, in an effort to improve the employee’s contribution towards realization of the organisation’s goals and objectives.

Objectives for 2021 Dress Code Policy • Revise policy: meetings will be held to collect HODs concerns.
Conduct training with HODs to educate and give guidance on updated policy.

Continue sensitizing new officers during orientation seminars Performance Appraisals • Create policy to appraise performance • Complete training with Heads of Department on policy and how to effectively conduct appraisals.
Public Service Disciplinary Actions • Continue sensitizing new officers during orientation seminars Complete training sessions with Heads of Department • • • Supervisors in training • Training will further equip officers in supervisory roles to better support Heads of Department.

Thus, alleviating heavy duties on Heads of Department so they are able to handle the more strategic operations of their division.

Rebuilding our economy will require an “all hands on deck” approach and therefore must be people centred.

My Ministry remains ready and willing to be an integral part of the rebuilding process.

My Ministry through its various departments will endeavour to create the enabling environment through which our people will form the core of the rebuilding process.

Only with a people centred approach will we be able to make the strides necessary for economic recovery.
For us to be able to rebuild effectively, we must have a healthy population and the involvement in sports has proven to enhance people’s health and well-being.

The Department of Sports will continue to work closely with all sporting disciplines enabling them to improve their reach through increased capacity building.

The department has been making considerable inroads and will continue to partner with the sporting associations to have more sports being played at both the school; and community levels.
The Ministry remains committed to improving and upgrading all sporting facilities on the island.

We are confident that with improved facilities, more sports will be played across the island, leading to a healthier nation.

With a quest to rebuild the economy of Nevis will also come maintaining the social fabric of the island.

The Department of Social Services will continue to roll out our social development strategy and strengthen our social safety nets despite our setbacks from the COVID-19 pandemic.
Our at-risk youth have their part to play in the rebuilding of our economy and they certainly will not be left behind.

With the recent commissioning of the Yes To Success (YTS) centre, the Department of Social Services will place more emphasis on skills training and target at risk youth as well as others who may not be academically inclined.

As we continue to recover from the pandemic, Social Services will maintain and enhance its outreach to the most vulnerable in society.
As we rebuild our economy, our youth must play a pivotal role.

It is often said that our youth are our future and my Ministry will continue to place considerable emphasis on the holistic development of our young people.

The Ministry will provide the necessary support to the Department of Youth as it continues to initiate programmes and initiatives to bring out the best in our youths.

Culture has tremendous potential as we rebuild our economy.
Experience has shown that there is always an appetite for the arts and we must find ways to harness and expose the talents that abound on the island.

As we rebuild, there must be a stronger collaboration between Culture and Tourism to take advantage of the various opportunities when our Tourism sector rebounds.

My Ministry is aware of the importance of community relations and will continue to foster and improve on what exist.
The community centres undergo regular maintenance and upgrade where necessary and that will continue as we endeavour to reach more persons in communities across Nevis.

Numerous programmes have been executed in the centres and we will ensure that these continue.

We will seek ways to improve on the effectiveness of such programmes and try to ensure that they reach more persons.

Programmes must be meaningful and touch the lives of a wider cross section of the communities.
The community centres will be made available to other ministries and departments desirous of executing programmes and initiatives that form part of the rebuilding process.
242 13 - MINISTRY OF SOCIAL DEVELOPMENT,YOUTH, SPORTS, COMMUNITY DEVELOPMENT AND CULTURE As the rebuilding process unfolds, the Department of Information will continue to perform the important role of public awareness so that members of the public can stay abreast of the plans and programmes being executed by the respective ministries and departments.
My Ministry will provide the necessary support, be it human resource or equipment to ensure that quality and timely coverage is available to all ministries and departments.

My Ministry will through that department seek to improve on the quality of the Nevis News Cast and all other government programmes that are aired.

In addition, the Ministry will seek to improve on the timeliness with which reports are filed.
The Department will maintain coverage on the various social media platforms currently being utilized.

As has always been the case with my Ministry, the human capital will continue to be at the centre of all our initiatives.

Our economic recovery must encompass a people centred approach and therefore the work of my Ministry falls squarely in line with the administration’s focus.
The Ministry of Culture, Youth, Sports, Community Development, Telecommunications and Information is fully aware of the challenges facing our island at this time and remains committed to being an integral part of the rebuilding process.

Our economic recovery will hinge on our efforts to have our people at the centre of all our endeavours.

................................................. Mr Keith Glasgow Permanent Secretary Ministry of Social Development 1.3 MANAGEMENT REPRESENTATION STATEMENT I submit for tabling in Parliament, the annual Report on Plans and Priorities (RPP) for the Ministry of Social Development, Culture, Community Development, Youth & Sports Development and Information for 2021.
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 2021 and beyond and will act as an evaluation tool to assess performance.
……………………………... Mr Keith Glasgow Permanent Secretary Ministry of Social Development 1.4 MAIN ACTIVITIES CONTRIBUTING TO THE PORTFOLIO'S ANNUAL OBJECTIVES The main activities contributing to the portfolio of the Ministry of Social Development in the 2021 period will include the following: Cultural Development • • • Increase/extend the participation/involvement increase an awareness of and an both internationally.

Department of Social Services In 2021 unemployed youth will be able • the YTS program to develop micro-enterprises as a means of making their own living, part time and full time.

Social Services staff will guide them in the development and management of these making start up equipment that has been donated to the program available for use until they are established.
to use skills developed through • 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.
for violent and disruptive behaviours • A Suspension Program to be managed at Family Services will enable children sent home from proper assessments, from school 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.

to benefit • Checkers Clubs in three Primary schools in Nevis (St. Thomas, Charlestown and VOJN) will be improved to meet diversion regulations.
These clubs are geared to children who need to build critical thinking and positive problem solving skills as a means to controlling anti- social and disruptive behaviour.

This effort again is a prevention technique that is seen as a means of stemming behaviours in youth-especially young males that can eventually lead to violent.

This category of revenue is projected to decline to $128.16 million from the budget of $139.54 million for 2020.

The Ministry of Finance in 2021 is projected to collect 90.65 percent of current revenue or $116.18 million.

The Ministry’s projected revenue represents a reduction of $11.49 million or 9.00 percent when compared to the 2020 projection.
Taxes are anticipated to decline by 9.91 percent when compared to the 2020 budget, impacted most significantly by the Value Added Tax (VAT) at the Inland Revenue Department which is projected to contract by 16.22 percent.

The Department collects the majority of its VAT from the hotel sector in the high season of November to March.

The performance of the sector for the period of January to March 2021 is uncertain and therefore the expectation for VAT collection during that period remains subdued.
The first figure below highlights the expected increase in current revenue in 2022 and 2023 after its contraction in 2021.
The second figure shows the percentage share of each current revenue type, underscoring the Taxes on International Trade and Transactions will be the most significant tax type in 2021. current Revenue 200,000,000 150,000,000 100,000,000 50,000,000 - 2019 Actual 2020 Budget 2021 Budget 2022 Budget 2023 Budget Total Current Revenue Tax Revenue Taxes on Goods and Services Taxes on Internatinal Trade Non Tax Revenue 2021 Current Revenue in Percentage 13.50% 2.81% 24.49% 25.29% 33.91% Taxes on Income & Profit Taxes on Int'l Trade & Trans.
