His Excellency the Governor General supports over twenty five charitable organizations as Patron and make every effort to participate in a wide range of community based events.
Skills in the arts of protocol and etiquette are considered to be important components in the operations of the Government House.

In this regard and under the direction of the Governor General, the Office of the Governor General has made provision for training seminars on the subject with a sharp focus on senior public sector personnel and other key stakeholders in the private sector.
It is anticipated that this type of training will be ongoing to provide refresher courses and to address questions raised by individuals in various sectors on this subject matter.

Her Majesty, the Queen is the Head of the 53 member nations Commonwealth.

In this regard and in keeping with his role as the Her Majesty’s Representative, His Excellency the Governor General called for a greater level of participation of his office in the celebration and promotion of the Commonwealth and the values it espouses.
It is anticipated that the collaborative effort between the Office of the Governor General, the Office of the Legislature office and the Ministry of Education in commemorating Commonwealth Day in 2016 will form a strong foundation for future work together.

A variety of activities including a thanksgiving service, an essay competition and a parade are expected to form a key part of upcoming celebrations.
One other element of responsibility of the Governor General is the hosting of the Conference of Caribbean Non-Executive Presidents and Governor’s Generals on a rotation basis.

In 2016, the Governor General of Antigua and Barbuda was pleased to host the conference, which was scheduled to coincide with the end of the Commonwealth Month Celebrations in March as well as the official appointment of the new Secretary General of the Commonwealth, Baroness Scotland of Asthal.
Baroness Scotland was the feature speaker at the Conference which was held under the theme, ‘The Commonwealth in a Changing Caribbean’.

Another area of responsibility for the Office of the Governor General is the provision of support for former Governor’s General of Antigua and Barbuda, in - 34 - accordance with the law.

Presently, there are two Governor’s General and one spouse of a former Governor General who receive support through this avenue.
The Governor General is in full support of the maintenance of heritage property in Antigua and Barbuda including the Government House which has significant historic value for Antigua and Barbuda, In this regard under his leadership and with the assistance of generous donors, there has been substantial work done on the perimeter wall, the garage and adjacent structures in the Government House Property.
Under the Antigua and Barbuda Defence Force Amendment Act 2007, Section 6, the Governor General is the Commander in Chief of the Force, although in practice he acts on advice as outlined in the governing laws.

In accordance with the Constitution, the Governor General on advice from the relevant authorities, also plays a key role in appointments and other high level decisions as it relates to the Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda and Her Majesty’s Prisons.
As it relates to inmates, the Governor General is also responsible, on advice, for granting convict’s licences, clemency and pardons for inmates.

Similarly, release of wards from the Boy’s Training School is granted by the Governor General on advice.

Under the National Honours Act 1998, the Governor General serves as Grand Master of the Chancery of the Orders and Decorations of Antigua and Barbuda.
On the advice of the Prime Minister in response to recommendations of the Honours Committee, the Governor General grants national honours to deserving citizens and non-citizens.

In summary, the Governor-General has many important constitutional, legislative, ceremonial and community duties to perform.

Possibly the most visible role of the Governor-General is to encourage, articulate and represent those values that unite Antigua and Barbuda as a nation from a non-partisan perspective.
In this capacity, the Governor-General and his spouse perform additional duties in addition to those outlined in the legislation to achieve this purpose.

Vision of the Office of the Governor General To be the institution that inspire unity among residents of Antigua and Barbuda, national stability, good governance and a full appreciation for the positive role of the Commonwealth and Sovereign in national development.
- 35 - Mission of the Office of the Governor General To provide quality administrative services and develop a harmonious relationship with and between key stakeholders in order to enable the legislative, Governor General to perform the required constitutional, ceremonial and social functions effectively, efficiently and with excellence.

The aim was to bring a greater awareness to protocol as it relates to individuals attending and meeting officials at various functions and more so meeting His Excellency the from various Government Governor General.
Ministries/Departments were invited to participate and were very impressed with the delivery of the facilitator.

individuals Various funding 2.

An exhibition which highlighted black and white photos of Antigua and Barbuda during the period 1967 - 1973 by a famous photographer, Ms. Margo Davis.

She also took the time to grace Government House with her presence.
Funds from the exhibition were donated to the Government House Restoration Initiative.

3.

During the month of March, the Office of the Governor General collaborated with the Legislature and the Ministry of Education to celebrate Commonwealth Month.
Several activities where held including a church service which saw many of the national honourees wearing their insignia, a flag raising ceremony following a parade by school children who marched from the Culture House to Government House, an essay writing competition and media appearances.

Climaxing the Commonwealth month the 15th Conference of Presidents and Governors General was held under the theme “The Commonwealth in a Changing Caribbean”.
The conference brought together various Governors General and Presidents who expressed their appreciation for the opportunity to discuss various issues which were impacting on the Caribbean society and which required the - 37 - urgent attention of the Heads of State.

The delegates also commended the conference planners for a well- organized event and experience.

In addition to the regular scope of work by the staff members of the Office of the Governor General to include processing land files, preparing credentials, communicating with the Palace as it relates to the Queen’s UK honours, honouring centenarians and meeting the needs of former Governors General, restoration work on Government House property continues with visible and impressive progress.
Special mention must be made of the generous donation which Government House has received from donors who saw the need to contribute their time and funds especially to the fencing of Government House and more so the three port garage and adjacent spaces on the Church Street side of the property.

The help from the in-mates at Her Majesty Prisons cannot go unnoticed and appreciation is expressed to the management and staff the institution.
the Critical Issues Although improvement can be seen, Government House still faces a number of critical challenges.

The problem of having a stabilized internet service has posed a serious challenge since too often work has to come to a halt especially in the financial application Free Balance and online operations of communications.

The problem of transportation is still a cause for concern.
On many occasions, the vehicles which are attached to Government House have to be taken out of service since they have to be referred to the Motor Pool for repairs.

This poses a great challenge since the office still has to rely on the Antigua and Barbuda Defence Force to borrow their vehicles especially if dignitaries are visiting.

In order to keep Government House in an acceptable manner it is important that more staff be assigned.
At present, many thanks must be given to the Work Experience Program – Ministry of Labour for the help they have given in sending trainees to assist.

The Cabinet is the principal instrument of Government policy.

The policy making process begins with individual Ministers and their Ministries in preparing and submitting to Cabinet, Circulation Notes regarding proposals and recommendations for consideration by the Ministers collectively.

It is also the originating Ministry which is primarily responsible for implementing Cabinet decisions and for reporting back to Cabinet on this.
Therefore, the effectiveness and efficacy of decision-making by the Cabinet of Antigua and Barbuda directly depends on the quality of submission by the individual Ministries and the commitment of each Permanent Secretary within the Civil/Public Service in ensuring the implementation of Cabinet decisions on-time, within budget and according to Cabinet’s expectations.
Section 77 of the Constitution establishes the Secretary to the Cabinet as a public office, giving the office holder control over the Secretariat, subject to instructions by the Prime Minister.

The Cabinet Secretariat provides administrative, managerial and advisory support to Cabinet, thereby enabling the effective devising and implementation of Government policy.
This includes arranging the sittings of Cabinet (usually every Wednesday, but this is at the discretion of the Prime Minister), receipt of Circulation Notes and conveyance of decisions of the Cabinet.

The Secretariat is also responsible for paying Ministers’ salaries and allowances.
In order to strengthen Cabinet’s control over the policy management process, the Secretariat has begun a process of engaging stakeholders playing diverse roles in the policy process around the structures, processes and tools required for more effective implementation of public policy.

During the 2017 Financial Year, this process will continue.
Going forward, The Secretariat’s statement of Key Services include:  Secretariat services to Cabinet which involves receiving CNs, composing the Agenda, inviting officers to attend settings at the request of Cabinet, dispatching Cabinet Decisions  Policy Advisory Services (Principally to Cabinet but also to Government Ministries) - 56 -  Monitoring and Evaluation of the progress and impact of Cabinet Decisions 1.2 Vision, Mission, and Organisational Values 1.21.
Vision A leadership model in the creation and execution of policy solutions, which enhance the quality of governance and accrues benefit to the Government and people of Antigua and Barbuda.

1.2.2.

Mission The effective implementation of Government’s policy agenda through excellence in administrative, managerial and advisory support to Cabinet, and the rest of Government.

1.2.3.
1.2.3.

Organisational Values In discharging the duties entrusted to it, the Secretariat models the following values:  Making the work of government easier  Objectivity  Confidentiality  Evidence-based Decision Making  Coherence and Coordination  Oversight of a policy management process that is rigorous, but sustainable 1.3 Personnel The Secretariat currently has a total of seven (7) staff members.

There is a requirement for additional staff to support the execution of the mandate of the Secretariat.
This will be achieved through the approval of a proposal to be submitted to Cabinet for its consideration prior to the completion of the 2017 budget process.

- 59 - 1.4 Service Performance Review The Cabinet Secretariat fulfils its mandate in accordance with the provisions of the Constitution of Antigua and Barbuda.

Over the past three years the Secretariat has been in the process of reorganizing its structure and processes to facilitate a more efficient delivery of services.

To date a number of interventions have been executed and several others are in train or scheduled to be activated as a part of a broad programme of reforms.
During the 2016 budget period the Secretariat secured technical assistance from the Commonwealth Secretariat to improve the Policy Management process in government.

Following a situational analysis and the submission of an initial report, the Secretariat has led several development initiatives with Permanent Secretaries and Senior Managers across the Public Service and facilitated training of policy focal points within the various ministries.
Additionally, several policy management tools have been developed and disseminated to senior leaders and focal points across the various government agencies.

The work is ongoing and several initiatives are pending and planned for the medium to the long term.

1.4.1.

Key Achievements The Senior Leaders’ Strategic Retreat themed ‘Working Together for Effective Implementation’ was staged on July 1, 2016.
The Retreat brought together leaders within the government in order to assess the level of satisfaction with policy implementation processes and to identify meaningful, practical solutions.

The Retreat recommended a range of solutions to address unsatisfactory implementation.
These included: creating forums for discussing policy issues and fostering common understanding and trust, enhancing policy skills within the public service through training, and enhancing policy tools to enable the improved design of public policy.

These recommendations have informed the strategies that the Secretariat will deploy to improve policy management.

Work to develop a Policy Skills Framework for the Government of Antigua and Barbuda has made significant progress.
This skills framework will identify the knowledge, skills and - 60 - behaviours needed for effective policy implementation.

Training in aspects of policy management identified as weak will be provided to line ministries.

The officers within the Secretariat will be developed as trainers to enable the training programme to be self-sustaining.
Identification and training of Cabinet Liaison Officers to enhance the functioning of the policy management system through supporting the Permanent Secretary in the writing and editing of CNs, submission of CNs and documents to the Secretariat, reviewing of other policy documents, and provision of monitoring data.

The selection of the Cabinet Liaison Officers did not simply look at qualifications, but was designed to test competencies.
The training programme began with a set of practical exercises designed to test these competencies.

1.4.2.

Critical Issues The Cabinet Secretariat, unlike other Ministries, has an overarching view of the whole of government.

Receiving policy proposals from all Ministers, Departments and Agencies, the Secretariat benefits from a global view of occurrences within government.

This position provides a unique understanding of the challenges to strengthened policy management.
In playing the lead role in modernising the policymaking architecture, these challenges are the critical issues with which the Secretariat must effectively grapple:  The receipt of Circulation Notes and conveyance of Cabinet Decisions is the Secretariat core business process.

The Secretariat is in the process of integration policy appraisal into this business process.
The development and maintenance of effective structures, processes and tools to enable this will require the support of policymakers and policy managers.

It will also require an expansion of the human resource capability at the Centre of Government.

At the same time, mean means of managing the administrative burden of this process using technological solutions must be explored.

Quicker dispatch and easier traceability of decisions has a concrete impact on the effectiveness of government.
- 61 -  The capacity for management of the policy cycle needs to be improved.

This is necessary to ensure that policies, no matter where they emanate from, meet common quality standards.

Strengthened capacity will expedite policy implementation.

This will be achieved through training.


 There are a dearth of forums where the stakeholders playing distinct roles in public policy can meet, identify issues affecting effective implementation and forge consensus on the approaches to be used to mitigate these challenges.

The Secretariat will continue to play a leading role in creating such forums and sharing key messages emanating from them.

 A formal framework for the management of public policy needs to be created.
This will make better policy development, implementation and monitoring more routine.

The scope and nature of the Secretariat’s oversight of these processes will be included in the Cabinet Manual.

1.5 Priorities, Strategies and Indicators Given the achievements and critical issues identified above, a number of priorities have been identified for the 2017 Financial Year.

The priorities in order are: 1.

Effective facilitation of the business of Cabinet 2.
Improved policy management capacity within GoAB 3.

Creation of Forums for discussion of policy issues 4.

Strengthening the Governance Framework for the management of public policy The strategies to achieve these priorities are set out in the table below.

It is the responsibility of the Secretary to the Cabinet to combine human and other resources to achieve the mandate as directed by the Prime Minister and in accordance with that it has under the Constitution of Antigua and Barbuda.
Whilst managing the Office therefore, it is important that the primary objectives be kept in focus, which are to arrange the business of the Cabinet, to keep the minutes of the Cabinet and to convey the decisions of the Cabinet to the appropriate person or authority and to conduct other functions as the Prime Minister may direct.

OVERVIEW Vision 1.1 To be leaders in the Public Service and to earn the trust and respect of all through fairness, honesty and integrity.

1.2 Mission To ensure equality and protect the interest of all Public Servants while adapting to a rapidly changing environment and promoting positive impacts on all.

Organizational Structure – THE PUBLIC SERVICE COMMISSION - 76 - 1.3 Service Performance Review and Cultural Issues FY 2017 A review of the programme areas for the department is outlined below.
Programme: General Public Services Objective 1 To place Submissions from the Chief Establishment Officer (CEO) before the Commission on a weekly basis for its meeting each Wednesday.

The programme met this objective of providing the necessary information to the Commission on a timely basis.

Objective 2 To make all necessary preparation to ensure that the Commissioners have a productive meeting each week.
This objective is achieved by providing all of the necessary supplies for the Conference Room for meeting.

Objective 3 To keep the Minutes and other records of Meetings as well as to record interviews of applicants for employment and officers who may wish to have an audience with the Commission.

This objective is achieved with the funds provided under the relevant programme.
FY 2017 Programme: General Public Services Annual Objective 1: To ensure that submissions from the Chief Establishment Officer (CEO) are properly placed before the Commission at its weekly meetings, i.e.

ensure that required documents are present.

Annual Objective 2: To dispatch decisions made by the Commission to the Chief Establishment Officer in a timely manner to enable the Establishment Department to efficiently and effectively implement these decisions.
Annual Objective 3: - 77 - To maintain accurate records at the Commission, i.e.

record minutes of the general meetings/hearings/audiences with the Commission.

Maintain a registry of correspondence to and from the Commission.

Annual Objective 4: To create the Annual Report of the Commission which is to be presented at Parliament.

So far, the programme is meeting these objective of providing the necessary information to the Commission and dispatching decisions made by the Commission on a timely basis.
Records are also being kept in accordance with established procedures.

The Annual Reports are also being generated as required by Law.

.

1.5 Summary of Critical Issues It is important that the office has the necessary tools, equipment and man power to carry out the functions of the office of the Public Service Commission.
Because of the weekly cycle, it is imperative that the relevant supplies are also on stock, that equipment, for example, the photocopier, computers and printers are functioning optimally, and that enough staff is present to prepare for the Commission’s meeting.

In addition, the period from the making of decisions to ratification of decisions is usually two (2) weeks.
Therefore, correspondence from Permanent Secretaries need to reach the Chief Establishment Officer with enough lead-time for the matters to be submitted to the Commission, for the decision of the Commission to be made and ratified, and for the Chief Establishment Officer to then dispatch the Commission’s decision back to the relevant Permanent Secretary for implementation of said decision in a timely manner.
Finally, adequate time must be dedicated to systematically collating all of the decisions of the Commission over the year, so that accurate data is placed in the Annual Report.

1.6 Strategic Objectives and Priorities The Commission envisages that the laws governing the Civil Service are clear and easily accessible to all Government institutions.

It also expects that its decisions are carried out expeditiously.
As stated in the critical issues summary, having the required tools, equipment and man power to work along with the Commissioners is imperative for the whole process and would improve the functions of the department.

It also ensures that debt is serviced under a wide range of shocks without risk of default.

Antigua and Barbuda’s MTDS (2016-2020) has been carefully prepared with consideration being given to the financing framework which is aimed at meeting the medium term fiscal financing requirement that would minimize debt servicing, budgetary costs and the risk exposure to government; while at the same time making every effort to maintain the debt at a sustainable level.
Consequently, the MTDS is primarily focused on debt financed by the Government’s budget and determines the overall composition of the debt portfolio over the medium term, while considering the macroeconomic indicators and the market environment.

The Government of Antigua and Barbuda (GoAB) is committed and will endeavor to achieve significant milestones, which will lead to improvement in debt management in Antigua and Barbuda.
In light of this, the establishment of a Public Debt Law would be prudent since it will give the GoAB leverage in the amount and type of instruments it can offer hence, reducing the risks in its debt portfolio.

Effective debt portfolio management has been evident by the recording of reliable and accurate debt data and by the keen monitoring of the debt sustainability indicators.

As recent as September 2015, a Debt Sustainability Analysis (DSA) was done by the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (ECCB).
The Debt to GDP ratio is on a downward trajectory, however, the indicators reveal that the debt is still unsustainable over the medium term.

- 99 - Implementing such an explicit and official MTDS will allow the GoAB to make informed decisions on considerations given to the costs and risks of alternative sources of financing.
The MTDS will lead the way on financing option which is most suitable and will guarantee that the GoAB capitalizes on new financing opportunities without compromising the cost and risks thresholds already established.

The GoAB is committed to achieving better development outcomes through improved transparency and accountability in public financial management.

The publishing of the MTDS is a step towards honoring this commitment.
The intent in producing this debt strategy paper is that it will be viewed as a critical means by which informed policy decisions can be made by the relevant stakeholders, the debt burden and other fiscal exposures would be reduced and to strengthen relations with current and prospective investors which will include development partners.
- 100 - ACKNOWLEDGEMENT The Ministry of Finance wishes to express sincere gratitude to the Debt Management Unit and the Macro-Fiscal Unit in the Ministry of Finance for compiling the 2016-2020 MTDS and to the Debt Management Advisory Services Unit at the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank (DMAS/ECCB) for their technical assistance.

Debt management is dynamic and requires staff to be flexible and have varying skill sets, therefore capacity building remains a priority.
The skills at the Debt Management Unit (DMU) are continuously being developed with training through CANEC/DMAS1 in debt management practices including debt negotiation, data recording, debt sustainability assessments and the MTDS analytical tool.
The Ministry of Finance also wishes to express its appreciation to the European Union (EU), the IMF and the World Bank2, and Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) for technical and financial assistance as part of the wider Public Financial Management Project and reform of the Civil Service.

The strategy aims to fulfill some specific debt management objectives to include: Maintain a satisfactory and prudent debt structure consistent with the Government’s payment capacity; refinance high cost loans and credit facilities to reduce debt servicing and to adjust the maturity profile of Central Government Debt in a way that balances lower financing cost and risk; support the development of a well-functioning domestic and regional market; Improve transparency.
The operational targets set for the risk indicators are as follows:  Non – USD denominated loans should less than 20% of the debt portfolio  Debt maturing in less than a year should be less than 15% and  Average time to Maturity (ATM) would be less than or equal to 8.2 years The MTDS is primarily focused on debt financed by the Government’s Budget and is tailored to identify and categorize the types of creditors by their respective terms.
Consequently, strategies were formulated to suit the types of instruments developed from these categories in the most prudent manner in order to meet the objectives of the debt strategy.

Also, this MTDS was developed in line with the primary macroeconomic variables recorded at the end of 2014.

It also analyzes various strategy assumptions.

Four strategies were tested as explained below: • Strategy 1: (S1) assumes that the status quo is maintained throughout the projection period.
There will be an average financing split of (64/36) in favour of domestic financing, over the years, however, this will lead to over-reliance on the RGSM with the securities offering on the market reaching EC$280M by 2020.

- 104 - • Strategy 2: (S2): From 2016-2017, this strategy’s financing assumptions are identical to that of S1.

However, (S2) assumes that borrowing will be more externally focused, with borrowing done bilaterally with the Chinese in CNY.
The average financing split over the period is (57/43) in favour of domestic borrowing.

• Strategy 3: (S3) Assumes financing will be secured from the domestic market but the concentration will be on longer-term securities.

Focus will be placed on the 5, 10 and 15-year bonds over the projection period.

• Strategy 4: (S4) Assumes a combination of financing from the Chinese in USD and CNY and from the domestic market where longer-term securities will be offered.
Over the period, there will be an average financing split of (57/43) which favours domestic borrowing however the two outer years, 2019 and 2020 favour external financing.

From the analysis done using the MTDS tool, S4 was chosen as the most feasible strategy.

The cost/risk trade-off when compared to S2 is still a better option even though the indicators for both strategies are very close.

By 2020, the debt to GDP ratio for S4 will be 63.9% while with S2 it will be 63.8%.
The refinancing risks for both strategies are very similar; however, the foreign exchange risk for S2 outstrips S4 by 6.26%.

The target set for this indicator was that exposure to the RMY should be less than 25%.

S2 was 27.33% while S4 was 21.07%.

An annual borrowing plan will be developed based on the assumptions made in the selected strategy.

Thus, the borrowing plan will reflect any upcoming auctions and subsequently any new borrowings externally where the Chinese play a pivotal role.
However, borrowing will also be contracted from other multilateral sources.

In view of the fact that the MTDS is constructed on a macroeconomic framework, it will be crucial to have consistent monitoring of macroeconomic and market developments.

- 105 - Significant changes could impact the domestic economy which could influence an investor’s perception on the risk linked to government issued securities.
The Ministry of Finance will carry out regular monitoring and evaluation of performance and progress made on the MTDS.

This would be assessed by a quarterly public debt report followed by an annual update.

Also, the quarterly report will comprise an analysis of the performance of the preceding quarter, which will disclose any potential risks and advise on possible measures to allay such risks in the following quarter.
Any change that is significant and continuous could mean a potential modification of the strategy going forward.

- 106 - Section 1: Introduction The Government of Antigua and Barbuda remains committed to place public finances on a sustainable footing and establish the basis for economic growth, despite the many challenges it faces in this persistent global economic crisis.
However, when the three- year Stand By Arrangement (SBA) with the IMF ended in June 2013, the fiscal stance adopted during the program was relaxed and this was further exacerbated with the run up to the general elections in June 2014.

Consequently, scheduled debt repayments to external creditors could not be met and with limited cash flow options, arrears that were previously normalized have re-emerged.
The Government has introduced a series of measures to address its fiscal imbalances; however, arrears are projected to grow.

Persistent cash flow issues along with other financial and banking problems, signify potential risks.

Conversely, the prospect of the funding to be received from the Citizen by Investment Program (CIP) and foreign direct investment could considerably improve the country’s economic outlook.
Nonetheless, these would not preclude the need for the Government to make some essential policy adjustments.

Thus, the need for the design and implementation of a Medium Term Debt Management Strategy (MTDS) for Antigua and Barbuda could therefore not be overemphasized.

This MTDS will look at specific plans to be accomplished in the medium term 2015-2020 with the explicit intent of ensuring that the debt management objectives are met.
- 107 - Section 2: Debt Management Objectives The overall objective of the MTDS is to ensure that debt management policies provide support to the on-going Medium Term Development Strategy of the government, while ensuring that Government’s financing needs and obligations are met on a timely basis, in a cost-effective manner, with a prudent management of risk.

Specifically the Debt Strategy will seek to: i.


Maintain a satisfactory and prudent debt structure consistent with the Government’s payment capacity; ii.

Refinance high cost loans and credit facilities to reduce debt servicing and to adjust the maturity profile of Central Government Debt in a way that balances lower financing cost and risk; iii.

Support the development of a well-functioning domestic and regional market; iv.
Improve debt management functions through greater transparency in the operations of the Debt Management Unit.

Section 3: Review of Medium Term Debt Management Strategy (MTDS) 2013-2017 The government prepared an MTDS in 2013 with the support of the CANEC Debt Management Advisory Services (DMAS).

The strategy was prepared for the period 2013 to 2017.
It proposed prioritizing external financing on concessional terms from multilateral and bilateral creditors, while at the same time developing the domestic capital markets.

The success of the IMF Stand By Arrangement improved the Government’s credit worthiness and the Government was able to approach new creditors and re-engage existing ones.

The Regional Government Securities Market continued to be a viable source of funds for debt financing and short-term cash flow management.
- 108 - The strategy was skewed heavily towards multilateral sources.

Of the new financing projected, 44.2 percent was external and 55.8 percent was domestic financing.

Financing from multilateral sources was projected at 32.8 percent.

And bilateral financing was 11.4 percent.

Securities accounted for 32.1 percent of new domestic financing and the short-term commercial facility made up 4.3 percent.
The new financing included financing for the resolution of ABI Bank Ltd, as well as the last disbursement of the Policy Based Loan from the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) due for disbursement in 2013.

At the end of 2013, the total debt stock amounted to EC$3,094.78m3.

The public debt to GDP ratio rose by 5.1 percent to 93.2 percent in 2013, from the 88.1 percent recorded at the end of 2012.
By the end of 2013, 13 percent 0f the domestic debt was attributed to RGSM securities, an 8 percent increase over 2012.

Loans from the domestic banks and other financial institutions, accounted for 52 percent of the debt, the Non-RGSM securities recorded the second highest percentage (28 percent) of the domestic debt with the floating debt and the overdraft representing 5 percent and 2 percent respectively.
Of the XCD$466.6 million which was disbursed, most of the disbursed funds (XCD$213.7 million) were received from Credit Suisse and China EXIM Bank.

Credit Suisse funds were used to repay a Commercial Paper that was used to finance works done on the runway at the VC Bird International Airport and to complete outstanding work.

Disbursements from China EXIM Bank (XCD$102.4) were to fund expansion works on the V.C Bird International Airport Terminal Project Loan signed in 2010.
Plans to resolve ABI bank limited and the corresponding financing to do so were not executed in 2013 as planned.

The government continued to work towards the objective of developing the RGSM but did not fulfill the plan of reducing reliance on overdrafts and increasing its options for 3 This figure includes the total amount of the Credit Suisse debt for the purpose of this report.
Otherwise only the amount that is guaranteed by the central government is reported; USD $24.65 M - 109 - financing through bilateral and multilateral sources.

The bulk of disburesemnts in 2013 came from a commercial source.

This prompted the government to make plans for the drafting of a new MTDS in 2015.

The year 2014 was an election year.

During 2014 the economy grew by 4.2 percent due to an increase of economic activity in the public sector, wholesale and retail sector and construction.

Tourism as represented by hotels and restaurants grew by 5.3 percent.

In 2015, economic activity is expected to decelerate in to reflect growth of 2.6 percent.

Based on the data from the first half of 2015, there was a decline in tourist arrival of 3.6 percent and activity in the construction sector was not as robust as 2014.
Inflation was low at 0.6 percent.

Hotels and Restaurants is only expected to only grow by 1.6 percent while construction is expected to grow by 5.6 percent.

Wholesale and retail activity is expected to grow by 3.8 percent.

Antigua and Barbuda continues to face challenges on its fiscal accounts.
In order to ensure fiscal and debt sustainability and achieve a debt to GDP target of 60 percent in 2030, the government has decided to pursue fiscal policy that would lead to primary surpluses over the medium term.

The overall fiscal deficit amounted to $110.0 million (3.2 percent of GDP) in 2014, while the primary deficit represented 2.0 percent of GDP.

Borrowing from the domestic financial system and an accumulation of both external and domestic arrears financed the deficit.
The current account deficit amounted to $56.3 million (1.6 percent of GDP).

Preliminary estimates for 2015 indicate an improvement in the fiscal performance in 2015 with a possible small primary deficit of 0.2 percent of GDP.

This was due mainly to high collections of corporate income taxes and consumption taxes.
- 112 - Over the medium term the government is aiming to achieve primary surpluses of 3 percent of the GDP by improving expenditure management and controls, revenue generation and debt management.

The goal is to generate an underlying primary balance of no less than 3 percent of GDP in 2016.

The additional resources would help to fund implementation of key projects that can create employment and expand economic output.
Based on projections provided by the Eastern Caribbean Central Bank, the economy of Antigua and Barbuda is expected to grow by 2.8 percent in 2016 and 2.7 percent in 2017.

However there is some optimism that this growth could be larger based on the planned investments of EC$3 billion by the government.

Strong growth will positively impact the outcome of the debt strategy.
Section 5: Medium Term Debt Strategy 2016-2020 Financing Assumptions The Government intends to continue prioritizing external financing on concessional terms from multilateral and bilateral creditors, while at the same time developing the domestic capital markets.

The Regional Government Securities Market will continue to be a viable source of funds for debt financing and cash flow management.
These pricing assumptions are based on the existing terms in the debt portfolio, ongoing negotiations and market conditions.

The pricing assumptions4, which underlie the 2015-2020 MTDS projections, are shown in table 1 below.

Table 1: Pricing Assumptions 4 These pricing assumptions are the terms used for the representative instruments in the MTDS analytical toolkit and are based on prevailing terms and market conditions.
- 113 - - 114 - Description of Alternative Financing Strategies The analysis compares a number of alternative strategies.

An assessment is carried out on the relative performance of four strategies, with a differentiation in the financing sources for each.
Strategy 1 assumes the current borrowing practices are maintained, which is maintaining the status quo of financing the gap more heavily from domestic sources such as the RGSM, while Strategies 2 -4 attempt to reduce interest costs and extend maturities by relying more heavily on external financing and long term domestic securities.

The candidate strategies are described below.


In the first and second year of all strategies, the financing mix is fixed with a 75:25 and 70:30 domestic to external funding ratio respectively given already identified financing.

The alternative strategies are therefore elaborated in years three to five of each strategy.

Table 2 below shows the percentage of gross borrowing over the five years under each alternative strategy.
Table 2: Percentage of Gross Borrowing over projection period - 115 - Strategy 1 (S1): Assumes that the status quo is maintained throughout the projection period.

This strategy focuses on the domestic capital market through the issuance of securities on the RGSM.

The Government began issuing securities on the RGSM in 2006 and has maintained a presence ever since.
From 2017, there will be a 60/40 financing split in favor of domestic financing, however, this will lead to over-reliance on the RGSM with the securities offering on the market reaching EC$280M by 2020.

81 percent of new financing will be domestic with external funds from multilateral and bilateral creditors average 10 and 35 percent respectively.
Strategy 2 (S2): From 2015-2017, this strategy financing assumptions are identical to that of S1 however from 2018 emphasis is placed on Chinese borrowing in CNY.

External borrowing as a percentage of total increases to 50.0 percent in 2018, and jumps to 55 percent and 60.0 percent in 2019 and 2020 respectively.

While the China loans carry fairly low fixed interest rates, exchange rate risk exists.
Strategy 3 (S3): This strategy demonstrates that between 2017-2020, new financing will be secured with a 70/30 split in favor of domestic financing.

These funds would be sourced mainly from the domestic market with a concentration on longer-term securities.

Focus will be placed on the 5, 10 and 15-year bonds over the projection period.

External borrowing would come from a combination of multilateral and bilateral sources.
Strategy 4 (S4): This strategy combines external and domestic financing over the latter three years by 50/50 in 2018, 55/45 in 2019 and 60/40 in 2020.

The new external financing will be sourced mainly from China in both CNY and USD (80 percent of external financing) and from other multilateral sources.

Domestic financing will be in the form of longer term securities of 5-15 years and TBills.
- 116 - Description of Shock Scenarios The strength of each alternative strategy is assessed on the basis of the baseline scenario for interest and exchange rate changes.

Moderate and Extreme shocks were applied in both instances.

For the purpose of the analysis, we assume that exchange rate shocks materialize in 2016 and are sustained through the remainder of the strategy period whereas the interest rate shocks were applied for the entire projection period.
Scenario 1: A 10.0 percent appreciation of the Renminbi (RMY) that materializes in 2016 and is sustained through the remainder of the time horizon (through 2020).

This is taken into consideration due to Antigua’s exposure to RMY (13% of total debt) in 2014.

Scenario 2: An interest rate shock of 100 basis points for bonds and variable rate loans, and 68 basis points for T-Bills.

This scenario corresponds to a moderate interest rate shock to the instruments whereby testing the change in market conditions.
Scenario 3: This is an extreme interest rate shock applied to bonds, variable rate loans and T-Bills.

The rate increases by 100 basis points above those of scenario 2.

Scenario 4: This scenario corresponds to a 5.0 percent appreciation of the RMY and is combined with the interest rate shock of scenario 2.

This tests the impact of concurrent shocks on the strategy.
Cost-Risk Analysis of Alternative Debt Management Strategies The performances of the four alternative strategies were assessed in terms of their relative cost and risk and the country debt targets.

A number of indicators were considered; for example, the performance of each strategy in terms of the implied interest rate, the refinancing and foreign exchange risk.

The results are shown in table - 117 - 1 below.


The indicators for the current debt portfolio (2014) are shown as well as the performance in 2012 when the first strategy was developed.

Table 3: Cost and Risk Indicators for Alternative Strategies Table 3 shows that if the current policy is maintained throughout the projection period (S1), refinancing risk will be high since 13.5 percent of total debt will be maturing in one (1) year and the average time to maturity is 7.3 years.
When compared to the current strategy, nominal debt as a percentage of GDP has declined by 16.2 percent to 60.7 percent, which is inline in achieving debt to GDP of 60 percent by 2030.

All other strategies maintained the same level of debt to GDP.

Refer to Figure 3, which shows that the debt service payments would be most costly and the interest payments will be at a moderate cost when compared to the other strategies.
S2, bilateral funding from China, is least costly however it increases the RMY exposure to 26.5 percent by end 2020 compared to 13.7 percent as at end 2014; this increase in foreign exposure does not meet the operational target.

The lower cost in this strategy arises from the lower interest rate offered by China funding.

S3 has the least foreign exposure however both cost and refinancing risks are high.
This is evident in Table 1, which shows Implied interest rate is 4.0 percent and the average time to maturity is 6.9 years, does not meet the operational target.

Additionally, Figures 1 and 2 in the Appendix shows that this strategy will be most costly and very risky by end 2020.

- 118 - S4 has low cost and a manageable risk profile.

This strategy shows that by end 2020, 10.4 percent of the total debt will be maturing in 1 year and only 20.5 percent of the debt will be denominated in RMY currency.
Figures 1 and 2 in the Appendix further shows that S4 has low debt service payments and low interest payments to GDP by end 2020.

The strategy selected was S4 which is a combination of financing from the Chinese and longer-term securities from the domestic market.

Based on the current strategy as at end 2014 and the operational targets, it was decided that the government needed to take another approach for financing the deficit.
>> Despite only meeting one of the operational targets, the strategy proved that by end 2020 it will less costly and has a risk that the government will be able to manage.

Figure 3: Total Debt Service Payments to GDP as at end 2020 Figure 4: Interest Payments to GDP as at end 2020 - 119 - Section 6: Implementation Methodology and Borrowing Plan The development of the annual borrowing plan will be guided by the borrowing assumptions laid out in strategy 4 (S4).
This plan should be in accordance with the Government’s overall debt management objective to ensure debt sustainability.

With a view to adopting more prudent and transparent fiscal management practices as well as enhancing the functioning of the RGSM, the GOAB is continuously seeking ways to improve its systems of accountability and transparency.
As a consequence, information on the cash flow and debt stock will be disclosed periodically to all investors, consistent with the rules of the Regional Debt Coordinating Committee (RDCC)5.

The objectives, assumptions and risk indicators provide the platform for which the DMU would monitor and report on implementation of the selected strategy.

A review of the MTDS will be done quarterly and will form part of the activities of the Unit in the yearly action plan.
Based on the DeMPA requirements, the strategy should be updated annually, as debt data and borrowing could change drastically during the year.

If the - 120 - underlying assumptions for the macroeconomic framework, policy decisions and market trends do not hold, the strategy would be subject to review and possibly revised.

The MTDS will be presented in Parliament and made available to other key stakeholders involved in the debt management process.
Continued collaboration with local, regional, and multilateral partners is critical to ensure the success of the strategy and achievement of the debt management objectives.

Borrowing Plan Table 4: Borrowing Plan of Selected Strategy CONCLUSION AND NEXT STEPS The performance of the medium term debt strategy will depend on the three main factors; the result of the fiscal performance over the medium term, the ability to find financing at low cost and risks, the reduction of arrears over the medium term.
This would require that the debt management unit work more closely with the budget unit and treasury on fiscal forecasting and cash flow management.

- 121 - The next steps to achieving the goals are: 1.

Work with the treasury to improve cash flow performance.

This will help the borrowing plan to be relevant to the borrowing needs.

2.

Improve attention the risk management of guarantees 3.

Amore rigorous assessment of borrowing terms and conditions 4.
Work with development partners to improve the legislative framework for borrowing.

DEBT MANAGEMENT PERFORMANCE ASSESSMENT (DEMPA) The DeMPA comprises a set of 14 debt management performance indicators and 33 dimensions, which aim to cover the full spectrum of Government debt management (DeM) operations as well as the overall environment in which these operations are conducted.

While the DeMPA does not specify recommendations on reforms and/or capacity and institution building needs, the performance indicators do stipulate a minimum level that should be met under all conditions.
Consequently, indicators for which the minimum requirements are not met indicate areas in which reform and/or capacity building would be most beneficial.

- 129 - The scope of the DeMPA is central government debt management activities and closely related functions such as issuance of loan guarantees; on-lending, cash flow forecasting and cash balance management.

A debt management performance assessment (DeMPA) mission to St. John’s, Antigua and Barbuda took place in September of 2015.
The objective of the mission was to undertake a comprehensive assessment of debt management operations using the DeMPA debt performance indicators.

The assessment revealed that Antigua and Barbuda met or exceeded the requirements for effective debt management along the following dimensions of the DeMPA tool: (i) Regarding coordination with fiscal policy, debt service forecasts are provided on time for the yearly budget preparation.
In addition, the Ministry of Finance conducts an annual in-house debt sustainability analysis; (ii) Borrowing on the RGSM meets high standards; and (iii) Legal advisors are involved in the vetting stage of the negotiating process with external creditors.

MINISTRY/DEPARTMENT OVERVIEW 1.1 The Ministry Office of the Prime Minister Electoral Commission 1.2 Vision The Antigua and Barbuda Electoral Commission is committed to ensuring that the electoral process is conducted in an impartial and transparent manner to ensure voters’ confidence and to contribute to the further strengthening of democracy.
The Commission will ensure this through consultation on the process of continuing electoral reform emanating from “best practices” through experiences and knowledge obtained from cooperation among international electoral organizations.
1.3 Mission The Antigua and Barbuda Electoral Commission will conduct its voter registration programme in a professional and effective manner to maintain the integrity in the voters’ register and ensure the conduct of elections in a manner that will be assessed as impartial and transparent both locally and internationally.
The Commission will carry out a continuing review of its administrative strategies, policies, procedures and practices so as to provide effective and efficient service to enhance stakeholder confidence in the electoral process.

1.4 Performance Review The financial year 2016 was a very quiet one for the Electoral Commission in view of the fact that it was not an election year.
For the first half, focus was placed on the filling of vacant positions due to the resignation of the Human Resource Officer and the network Engineer.

Both positions were filled and the contract for the Public Relations Officer was renewed.

- 134 - In keeping with its mandate under Section 28 (1) of the Representation of the People (Amendment) Act 2002, the Commission undertook continuous registration from a Centralized location – the Peace Corps Building on Factory Road.
The premises, although it suffers from a lack of space, has enabled each of the sixteen (16) Constituencies in Antigua to conduct registration on two (2) days weekly.

On the other days of the week, the Units operate within their respective Constituencies.

Three (3) Registration Units are permanently based at that site.

.

1.5 Summary of Critical Issues A recurring area of critical importance for the Commission is a clear policy regarding the terms and conditions of service of Scrutineers.
There are a number of “grey areas” pertaining to the treatment of Scrutineers, vis-à-vis terms of employment and the roles of Political parties versus the role of the Commission.

Under the general categorization of Government workers, Scrutineers have been classified, and are paid as Non-Established workers; however according to the Representation of the People (RPA) Act, the Scrutineers are nominated by the political party and are paid a fee from the Consolidated Fund.
As a result, there needs to be clear procedures for the administrative functioning of the Scrutineers, e.g.

appointment and removal, disciplinary action, benefits, etc.

The matter needs to be addressed at the level of Parliament, so that guidelines can be developed.

The Commission continues to struggle with a lack of space and has been forced to use much needed office space for storage purposes.
The Central Registration Unit operating from the Peace Corps building on Factory Road is not adequate for the purpose and a much larger space would be preferred rather than having the Units operating in cramped conditions.

1.6 Strategic Objectives and Priorities The Commission will commence training during the first quarter of the year 2017 for persons to fill existing and prospective vacancies as Registration Clerks.
Refresher training will also be conducted to ensure that persons within the Registration Units remain current in their knowledge of the registration procedures.

- 135 - The Commission continues to participate in the training initiatives facilitated by the Government Training Division.

Employees have attended workshops which directly impact their performance on the job.

These include training in Customer Service, Industrial Relations, Performance Management, Government Accounting and Records Management.
Efforts will also be made to complete the training plan designed in 2015.

Critical areas have been identified as Report Writing and Enhancing Supervisory Skills.

Middle managers and Registration Officers will be targeted for this training.

- 136 - 1.7 Annual Objectives and Key Result indicators Annual Objectives 2017 Expected Result  Execute remaining areas of training plan designed in 2015.

MISSION The Ministry of Agriculture, Lands, Fisheries and Barbuda Affairs will be the engine of advancement for its divisions and stakeholders through the application of modern and emerging practices designed to strengthen food security initiatives, efficient land use management, environmental conservation measures and sustainable development of natural resources thereby contributing to the well-being of Antiguans & Barbudans, consistent with national objectives and stakeholders’ expectations.
OBJECTIVES The objectives of the Ministry of Agriculture, Lands, Fisheries & Barbuda Affairs:  To increase the production of food from the land and sea in order to achieve the greatest possible measure of self-sufficiency, by reducing the importation of food items in order to retain foreign exchange in the economy by cutting down the large external food bill.
Doing this will ensure the production and distribution of food high in nutritional value at reasonable prices to consumers, by raising the productivity and income levels of agriculture particularly in the case of small farmers and their families, and ensuring the security in food supplied.
 To promote the utilization of local produce for households, restaurants and hotels, by ensuring the commercial sector becomes more involved in the distribution of locally produced food in wholesales, houses, supermarkets, meat shops, etc.

 Create confidence in the agricultural sector specifically with the view to attract young people to agriculture as farmers, skilled technicians, by stimulating employment through great linkages of agriculture, tourism and other industries.
This will promote the development of new rural communities and improve villages by stimulating growth of agriculture especially at farm and family level  To fully utilize and protect the waters of the economic zone on the state of Antigua and Barbuda to secure the products for the benefit of the population, to promote proper land use and natural resources, conservation measures, and to promote the development of new agricultural crops for export.
 To promote the commercial utilization of inland water i.e.

lagoons, dams and ponds for the production of fish and crustacean.

Also, to seek scholarships for training nationals to specialize in agriculture.

 A total of 921 samples have been analyzed in 2016 for physico-chemical and microbiological parameters as part of the analytical services and surveillance programs.

Staff also received training in areas such as pesticide residue testing, identification of GMO's, drug abuse and food safety analysis.
 The Department of Agriculture collaborated with IICA to finish the green house at Christian Valley.

Upon completion, it will give the station the capacity to store 6000 plants in a controlled environment.

 The Green Castle station undertook the successful 'grow out' of 1200 bread fruit plants imported from the United States and three and a half acers of pineapple were established at Cades Bay even in the extreme drought.

 There are now four complexes managed by the Fisheries division.
The refrigeration machinery at the Urlings and Parham facilities have been replaced and now all refrigeration equipment is functional.

 The Fisheries division has started exporting to Canada (Conch) and Asia (lobster).

The division is also preparing for an EU inspection.

If successful, they will continue to export live lobster and possibly add fish and conch to their export as the demand for these commodities is increasing.
- 205 -  The Veterinary and livestock division continued to register farmers in anticipation of its livestock expansion and poultry broiler initiative programs.

The division was also pleased to add another veterinary officer to its staff thereby easing the task of monitoring the movement of live animals through imports, exports and other veterinary activities.

 The veterinary and livestock Division also have completed architectural drawings for the new HASAP certified abattoir.
 The plant protection's presence at regional meetings has presented an opportunity for matters of national interest to be considered.

 The establishment of a functioning board now enables the development of regulations to the plant protection act.

 With an approved cabinet decision the plant protection unit is now upgraded to a division and the structure will also be upgraded.

 The forestry division started work in the Wallings area which was fairly extensive.

This will be ongoing in 2017.


 The forestry nursery began production of seedlings under its highway beautification program and a few tree planting exercises have been completed.

 Four grids have been created in preparation for the biodiversity assessments.
 Well needed training in Successful in-vitro propagation of tropical plants and soil management technologies have been accomplished by the extension services, and with the onset of the wet season many small farmers have had the benefit of their plots ploughed.

Issues: Lack of the provision of jobs to fill key positions in the agricultural sector.

 Government’s inability to finance programs due to short fall in revenue collection.
  CARDI and other related institutions unable to obtain funds from Government, causing other agencies unwilling to conduct business with the Divisions due to the reduction of funds.

 A lack of vehicles, causing the inability to carryout planned activity.

  Lack of water due to low water pressure and drought conditions during working hours.

Invasion of the Giant African Snail.


- 206 -  In order for the Division to be successful, Survey, Mapping and Geo-spatial (SMGD) will fully leverage the experience and insight of its management, Chief Surveyor, Land Information Officer, Supervisor GIS Cadastral.
 The Division is presently named the Survey and Mapping Division but wish to have it changed to Survey Mapping and Geo-Spatial Division to reflect its future role in managing and directing Geographic Information System with the implementation of the National Spatial Data Infrastructure (NSDI).

 The need for institutional strengthening and capacity-building within the DCA.
A Physical Planner and Two Planning Assistants, as well as a Geographical Information Systems (GIS) Technician, needs to be hired to comprise a Planning Unit within the Authority, to undertake development planning and implement the National Physical Development Plan (NPDP) also referred to as the Sustainable Island Resource Management Zoning Plan (SIRMZP), as mandated by the Physical Planning Act 2003, that was ratified in 2012.
 Clarification of the role of the Laboratory in conducting analyses of illicit drugs.

The current mode of appointment of analysts is archaic and requires urgent review to ensure that all necessary controls are undertaken.

The analysis of drugs of abuse is not an intrinsic function of the Laboratory, but rather of the individual analyst as appointed by Statute.

 Prolonged drought had a negative impact on the agricultural industry.
  Marketing complexities exacerbated by liberalization and consumer demand for In the case of fisheries and veterinary divisions, limited enforcement capability.

The last four years has seen this downward trend in allocations and concomitantly there has been an increasing percentage going towards the payment of emoluments with very little left for inputs and work programme activities.

The importance of Agriculture to our very survival as a people cannot be overstated.
The Ministry will, as a consequence, be accelerating its efforts in forming strategic partnerships with its development partners in an effort to procure additional resources to realize some of the targets for 2015/2016.
Emphasis will be placed on youth development, backyard gardening, family agriculture, strengthening of production, postharvest, processing and marketing infrastructure in an effort to reduce extreme poverty within vulnerable groups and stabilize income for our farmers whilst enhancing food and nutrition security.

The Ministry will actively seek to exploit synergies to be derived by combining resources through collaboration with projects in other sectors.

Headquarters 2.

The Antigua State College 3.

Antigua and Barbuda Continuing Education (ABICE) 4.

National School Meals Programme (NSMP) 5.

The Public Library 6.

The Archives 7.

Antigua and Barbuda International Institute of Technology (ABIIT) 8.

The National Accreditation Board of Antigua and Barbuda – this body is responsible for the accreditation of programmes and educational institutions in the country.

A small budget is received from Central Government in order for it to carry out its programmes.

The Board presently has three (3) full-time workers, the Executive Director, an Accreditation Officer and a Cleaner.

b.

The Antigua and Barbuda Institute of Continuing Studies (ABICE) Board.
This Board, as the name implies, oversees post secondary technical vocational education for young adults.

It is able to conduct its business based on monies obtained from the Consolidated Fund.

c. Board of Education is a body that oversees the administration of Scholarships, Book Scheme and the Maintenance of Public School Buildings.

d. CCOPE is the acronym for Collaborative Committee for the Promotion of Emotional Health in Children.
It is responsible for the psychological and emotional wellbeing of children.

274 e. National Training Agency is managed by the National Training Agency Board.

The Board is mandated to facilitate competency-based training and offer certification and quality assurance in the skilled sector.

The Agency has a compliment of six (6) full time staff.

The Ministry of Education is responsible for the supervision of all schools (42 Public and 45 Private).
The private institutions have more autonomy than the public schools in matters of remuneration for teachers, school holidays and school rules.

However, public schools follow the dictates of the Ministry of Education in every facet of administration.

Vision 1.2 The Vision of the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology is to be the foremost provider of quality education and training for the development of all persons, who will in turn, make a meaningful contribution to society.
Mission 1.3 The Mission of the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology is to offer the highest quality education possible to our children and young people, from pre-school to the post graduate level.

We will work with various stakeholders in society in order to improve and strengthen our educational institutions, to develop productive citizens who can learn and work independently and cooperatively to contribute to their national, regional and global communities.
While this is the Business Plan of the Ministry Headquarters, reference will be made to the other departments since together they comprise the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology.
1.4 Core Values for the Ministry 2017  Accountability – of all education providers Productivity Performance  Quality Leadership  Commitment  Respect  Innovation  Collegiality 275 1.5 Structure diagram (Organisation Chart) Director of Education Director of Library Service Delivery Post- Secondary, Tertiary ASC, ABIIT, Pre- primary, Primary, Secondary Schools Minister Permanent Secretary CEO School Meals of Library Head of Campus ABIIT Boards (Education Advisory) (BOE), (ABNAB) (ABICE) (NTA) (Education Tribunal) Director of Archives 276 277 1.6 Service Performance Review and Critical Issues Service performance Achievements Ministry Headquarters The Ministry of Education, Science and Technology (MOEST) over the period September 2015 to December 2016.
It notes some challenges faced by the education sector over the given period, and outlines plans going forward to continue work in the sector.

The report categorizes these aspects based on the eight strategic imperatives (SI) of the draft national education sector plan 2015-21, titled Education and Training for Economic Advancement: A Strategy for Education in Antigua and Barbuda in the 21st Century.
The information is drawn from reports submitted by Education Officers (also referred to as technical officers) of accomplishments in their own individual curriculum and/or other education area.

Particular Education Officers were then assigned to summarize the reports under specific strategic imperatives (SI).
The eight strategic imperatives of the draft national education sector plan are:  SI-1: Provide the number of school places to equitably meet government’s targets and international commitments  SI-2: Improve the quality and accountability of leadership and management  SI-3: Improve teachers’ professional development  SI-4: Improve the quality of teaching and learning  SI-5: Improve curriculum and strategies for assessment  SI-6: Increase access to quality early childhood services  SI-7: Provide opportunities for all learners in technical and vocational education and training  SI-8: Increase provisions for tertiary education and training The national education sector plan 2015-21 was specifically commissioned to align with the education sector plan of the OECS in its Education Sector Strategy (OESS) 2012-21.
The articulated overarching goal of that strategy isto contribute to the socio-economic advancement of the OECS through a quality education system that enables learners of all ages to reach their true potential, and its stated vision is‘Every learner succeeds’.

That vision has in principle also been adopted under the national sector plan .The OESS identifies seven strategic imperatives for focus over the 10-year span; these imperatives are those of SI 2 – 8 of the national sector plan.
SI-1, the extra included SI in the national plan for Antigua and Barbuda, was felt to be a predominant strategic necessity in particular with the move to full implementation of universal secondary education (USE) in September 2013 and plans to provide universal access to Pre-Kindergarten by 2018.

The OESS also further identifies six cross-cutting themes for focus over the planned period.
The national sector plan, though, only specifically identifies three cross-cutting themes, namely, special education, boys’ education and a final general category of ‘other’ education issues.

Given the methodology used to compile this report and the inherent overlap of various areas of the SI, some reports herein do repeat in ways, reports given by other Education Officer(s).
Activities within the Education Sector for the academic year 2015-16 took place under the theme Developing global citizenship for creative and innovative education.

The chosen theme for 2016-17 is Improving our students’ outcomes through investments in our educators and continued upgrading and equipping of our educational facilities.

The themes bring focus to various dimensions of the overarching vision as per the OESS that every learner succeeds, this being the raison d'être of education systems.
278 Achievements 2015-16 under the Strategic Imperatives Strategic Imperative 1 Provide the number of school places to equitably meet government’s targets and international commitments Following representation by secondary school principals to Cabinet in April 2016, the government embarked on a proposed ECD$10 million Upgrade and Expansion of Secondary Schools Project targeting selected urban public secondary schools.
The project’s aim was to provide additional classroom space to address overcrowding issues in these schools and also to provide upgraded qualitative space in some schools to address increasing demand in the Technical and Vocational Education and Training (TVET) curriculum areas.

Replacement and upgrade of the Administrative Building at the All Saints Secondary School was included in the project plans as that building had been destroyed by fire earlier in the school year.
Figure 1: CHSS – Initiation to Completion Figure 2: PMS – Initiation to Completion Figure 3: ASSS – Progress on Replacement and Upgrade of Administrative Building Figure 4: JSS – Progress on Building Work for Additional Classroom Space Figure 5: AGHS – Progress on Building Work for Additional Classroom Space 279 In addition to work on these secondary schools, expansion and upgrade work took place at selected primary schools.

In October 2016, three new classrooms were added at the Potters Primary School.
Other such additions are planned for primary schools in high population density locations.

Upgrade work took place at the Pigotts Primary School.

Figure 6: Additional Classrooms at the Potters Primary School Going forward, other expansion/upgrade work is planned for the Pares Secondary and Ottos Comprehensive schools.

Plans are near completion for building work to begin at Tomlinsons for a new secondary school.
That school will also help to address overcrowding issues at the Clare Hall and Princess Margaret schools.

Under the second Basic Education Project (BEP2) expansion work on three secondary schools, namely St Mary’s, Irene B Williams, and Sir Mc Chesney George is scheduled to begin in 2017.

As well, additional classroom space will be provided at two of the government’s biggest primary schools in order to address demand in these geographical locations, namely Golden Grove and Five Islands.
Upgrade work is also scheduled to take place in 2017 on the Villa and Cedar Grove Primary schools with funding from the government of the United Arab Emirates.

Also planned for 2017 is commencement work on the building of a pre-school and model Early Childhood Development (ECD) centre in Buckleys.

Funding for this project was sourced through the Maria Holder Memorial Trust out of Barbados.
Strategic Imperative 2 Improve the quality and accountability of leadership and management In an attempt to ensure that SI-2 is woven into the fabric of our education system in Antigua and Barbuda, all public schools were required by the MOEST to engage in professional development activities for staff members; private schools were strongly encouraged to do so.

The designated time is every second Thursday of the month.
Public primary schools do so from 2:00 – 3:00 pm whilst public secondary schools do so from 12:15 – 1:30 pm.

Public primary schools have reported that teachers engage very well in these activities and are implementing strategies learnt.

Similar monthly professional development sessions for technical officers in the MOEST are designated for every second Tuesday of the month, from 2:30 – 3:30 pm.
These sessions have largely been used for Education Officers to share more widely on experiences and lessons learnt from other workshop sessions attended whether in- or out-of-country and 280 too as sessions for training on a variety of aspects associated with competently fulfilling daily duties, e.g.

public speaking, using a projector.

Training for school leaders and managers continues to take priority for Education Officers and the MOEST.
Workshops, retreats and general meetings are conducted on a termly basis to enhance the productivity of school leaders and managers.

This year, five Education Officers and at least six principals have travelled to the USA for the Association for School Curriculum Development (ASCD) conferences.

These conferences are highly impactful and cover a wide range of educational themes.

The impact gained trickles down to principals and teachers in specially designed workshops.
Teachers are therefore becoming better equipped to carry out their daily duties.

Education Officers have also travelled for longer, more in-depth learning opportunities.

The Ministry hosted two workshops/seminars for school leaders and Education Officers with Dr. Maurice Smith, then Permanent Secretary in the Ministry of Education, Jamaica, and formerly Principal Director of the National College for Educational Leadership there.
The first seminar covered two days in April, and focused on school self-evaluations and the importance of using data in such efforts; the second seminar, a half-day session in October, dealt with Developing Trust by School Leaders.

These sessions were highly inspirational and very well received by all in attendance.

Specifically for Education Officers, the Ministry hosted a two-day Retreat in March 2016 to consolidate and allow for wider and more in-depth discussions on various policy issues.
Topics of note included the National Diploma, the way forward for the NTTC and importantly, TVET and the implementation of CVQs in school.

As well, in March the Planning Unit organized and hosted a workshop for selected Education Officers in use of the Costing and Projections Simulation Model for forecasting and making projections in Education.
This model represented one of the major outputs of a Teacher Supply, Demand and Utilization within the region commissioned by the OECS Education Development Management Unit (EDMU); the workshop was facilitated by Geoff Thompson, model creator and designer.

The workshop’s aim was to strengthen decision and policy-making processes within the MOEST by building capacity forecasting skill sets via use of the model.
The Planning Unit too, in collaboration with the Early Childhood Development (ECD) Unit, organized hands-on training in Excel for Early Childhood supervisors.

The purpose of this training was to aid the supervisors in the software sent to them for data collection from their institutions, and so to improve returns from this sector.

The sessions appear in the first year to have fulfilled this purpose the ECD Unit report close to 100% returns of data forms.
The Educators Summer Institute (ESI) is a certificated programme spearheaded by the MOEST.

Although this programme has evolved over the years to include teachers in the training offered, it continues to have a strong focus on offering training and other professional development experiences to school leaders, the original target audience of its initiation in 2010.

More on the topics covered this year is provided under SI-3 to follow.
Via the Minister of Education’s scholarship programme under the Board of Education (BoE), school leaders (principals, deputy principals) and Education Officers have been given the opportunity to obtain relevant Masters Degrees via online courses from accredited universities.

Varying opportunities have also been provided by the MOEST to assist staff who are desirous of undertaking structured and continuous professional development activities.
Under BEP2, a number of study tours are available to provide leaders and teachers with first-hand experience of good educational practice wherever these exist.

As example, in summer 2016 the necessary processing and arrangements were made to facilitate the participation of Education Officer, Mrs. Marion Byron, and two teachers to attend the Performing Arts Colloquium in Barbados.
The objectives of the colloquium were as follows:  to provide Performance Arts Educators in Antigua and Barbuda an opportunity to engage with regional colleagues on ‘best practices within the arts’ so as to 281 improve instructional practices and school culture as well as to provide ideas in developing an Arts in Education Policy for the MOEST;  to provide an opportunity to forge further collaboration and networking with colleagues within the region and to garner support from other institutions where best practices are modelled;  to ensure that senior Performing Arts teachers can assist in curriculum planning and development, monitoring of class teaching and participate in the in-service training of other teachers locally as well as participate in CXC assessments.
Other such study tours are planned (e.g.

Education Officer Modern Languages and a teacher to Cuba) in 2017.

Strategic Imperative 3 Improve teachers’ professional development Professional development opportunities for teachers abound.

It is at times difficult to separate professional development opportunities offered to school leaders from that offered to teachers, as often similar such opportunities are offered to both groups.
Whilst the Planning Unit has specific responsibilities for training within the education sector, individual Education Officers do conduct training and other knowledge sharing/capacity building workshops for the school leaders and teachers they supervise.
Outside of these opportunities, secondary schools generally have a day each school year dedicated to in-service professional development; at the primary level, such opportunities are normally organized for the zone by the Education Officers school administration.

As mentioned under SI-2, all public schools are afforded one hour each month for in-house professional development as suits the specific needs of the school (private schools have been encouraged to do similarly).
The main complaint here offered by teachers is that this one-hour is insufficient, and where it is actively/purposively used, very often the time overruns abound.

Additionally, teachers (and leaders, both at the school and administrative level) have been given the opportunity for personal growth from increased allotment of funding via the Minister of Education’s scholarships through the BoE.
The funding is for online studies in an Education-related area, and a number of teachers have begun those studies, with a relatively large number (35 – 40) choosing to do so with the UWI School of Continuing Studies.

The government has also afforded the opportunity for 40+ teachers to pursue undergraduate studies in Special Educational Needs via a hybrid online and face-to- face arrangement with the University of Southern Caribbean.
The cohort includes primary and secondary teachers from both public and private schools.

The ESI remains the MOEST’s (through the Planning Unit) flagship programme for on- the-ground professional development and training for its staff.

In 2016, the two-week session was conducted over 4th – 16th July.

The theme for this year was ‘Fostering a Productive School Environment and Enhancing Teacher Capacity & Commitment.'
Two hundred eighty-eight individuals including principals, teachers, Early Childhood caregivers and newly-employed teachers of the 2015-16 cohort were trained.
Some areas of focus were as follows:  Principals and School Leaders: Stress and Crisis Management; Creating a positive school culture; Whole-school decision making; Introduction to and implementation of the new OECS Teacher Appraisal form; Introspection on School Quality/Reflections and Recommendations;  Teachers (Primary & Secondary): Mathematics: strategies to aid students in understanding problem-solving tasks;  Language Arts: Building a Culture for Independent Reading; Meeting Students’ Needs with Differentiated Instruction;  For teacher-librarians: Exploring children’s literature;  Science: School-based Assessment (SBA) Approaches to include a Field Trip;  Social Sciences: SBA – Data Gathering – developing objectives, sampling, instrument construction; 282  Health and Family Life Education (HFLE): The role of the HFLE teacher in preventing and reducing Non-Communicable Diseases (NCD’s) in Antigua & Barbuda; Socio-cultural influences on sexual behaviour;  General: How do my value system and attitude determine what I teach;  Early Childhood Development: Comparison between Thematic and Act Learning approach; Alignment of OECS standards with High Scope Curriculum; Nutrition and Brain Development; Working with Parents and other Stakeholders; Managing Children’s Behaviour;  Newly-Employed Teachers: The Civil Service Regulations in relation to the operation of schools; New OECS Teacher Appraisal – Familiarisation and Acceptance; Classroom management; Creating and using interactive learning aids; Micro-teaching-core subject areas.
School Leaders: Record keeping HFLE teachers: CPR- training Figure 7: Scenes from ESI 2016 Heads of Departments, Level Heads (secondary only) and Master and Senior teachers are positions made more formal under the Reclassification of the Teaching Service, and has allowed for additional cogs in the hierarchy and a career path for which teachers can aspire.

All assigned Level Heads in secondary schools are provided with a stipend.
The additional Management Levels aim at strengthening the administrative structures in schools and relieves principals from having to deal with minor infractions and focus primarily on instructional management and supervision.

Inarguably it allows for promotion of the ideas of distributed leadership, so that when leadership positions become available there is a greater pool of teachers with on-the-ground administrative experience and skills who can apply.
The added professional and administrative positions formalized by Reclassification has allowed for teachers to be monitored, supervised and evaluated more frequently, thus holding them more accountable and enhancing their productivity and the educational product on a whole.

In February 2016, the Master and Senior teachers hosted their inaugural Teachers’ Research Day conference.
This event was funded by the Centre for Commonwealth Education, Faculty of Education, University of Cambridge, UK and represented part of its work in Antigua and Barbuda in fostering teacher leadership in Education.

The conference was planned as a means of implementing an aspect of the national Education Sector Plan which saw teachers having such a platform for the sharing of good practice, and to disseminate findings of research work they do themselves in classrooms.
As well, it was seen as a means to fostering the professional growth of teachers, encouraging them to do action research and giving them an authentic and valid voice in contributing to what is known about teaching and learning in Caribbean classrooms.
The conference saw two teacher-specific contributions, one which explored reasons for student poor performance on the Grade 4 Mathematics National Assessment, and another which looked at repetition practices at a particular secondary school on a cohort of the school’s 5th formers and explored whether there were significant gains to repeating students.
Both presentations were very well received and prompted long and in-depth discussions among teachers from different schools and across educational level of educational issues in Antigua and Barbuda.

Figure 8: Master and Senior Teachers Education Research Day February 2016 283 Approximately 100 new teacher recruits to the public service also received initiation training over 2-days in August 2016 and in November 2016.
Initiation training was also supported by the Antigua and Barbuda Union of Teachers (ABUT) which conducted a professional development day for new teacher recruits on World Teachers’ Day in October 2016.

These new teachers will continue to receive support and mentorship throughout this year in the service, and are all expected to participate in professional development over the two weeks of the ESI in June – July 2017.
Under BEP2, procurement and processing details are complete for the pursuance of tertiary studies for seven teachers.

These teachers have commenced tertiary studies (some at the undergraduate level, others at the Masters level) in the following areas: Geography, Spanish, Mathematics, and Instructional Design and Technology.

Some teachers have gone overseas for their studies whilst others have chosen to pursue those studies via online platforms including the UWI School of Continuing Studies.
Teachers (and principals) also receive opportunities for training via various projects sponsored by Education partners.
Selected examples of these include:  Under the CARICOM-Spain Reducing Youth-on-Youth Violence in Selected Schools and Communities Project, staff at the OCS received training in recognizing early warning signs in troubled youth;  Under the Early Learners Programme (ELP), selected primary school teachers have received training related to addressing reading issues identified in young learners As previously mentioned, Education Officers with responsibility for particular curriculum areas also conduct workshops and other professional development activities for teachers they supervise.
The following is a small sample of some of these over the last academic year:  Business Education: Professional Development sessions in classroom management, lesson planning, ICT and other pedagogical issues were conducted for business teachers.

Training in creating a repository of Open Educational Resources (OER) with primary and secondary school teachers was also conducted.

Blogs have been set up for the teachers to share content and resources.
In partnership with the Commonwealth of Learning (COL) the MOEST ran an OER Textbook Forum, the purpose of which is to encourage and support Caribbean islands in the formation of a collaborative alliance to grow and develop further the OER textbook platform and potentially other initiatives.

 Infant Pedagogic: Professional development for lower primary teachers took place at the Infant Pedagogic Centre.
Teachers received training and demonstrations in lesson presentations, and recommendations were made through dialogue with teachers or interaction with students.

 Music Education: Workshops in this curriculum area generally focused on identifying areas of weakness among teaching staff and working toward improving content knowledge and teaching skills.
 Special Education Needs Unit: Professional development here focused on continuous guidance and support to teachers on how to develop an inclusive and effective school for special education needs students and for those with additional learning needs.

There was also training and certification for the SEN 284 Assessment Team in First Aid and CPR was conducted in partnership with the American University of Antigua (AUA).
 Visual Arts Education: In-service training, ongoing professional development, and discussions with teachers at the primary and secondary school levels were conducted in order to enhance teacher quality with special focus on pedagogy, knowledge, skills, self-confidence, and attitude.
 Agricultural Science: In partnership with the MOEST, Trinidad, workshops were conducted with primary school Science teachers on incorporating Agricultural Science in the primary Science curriculum given the intent to include this area with a practical, hands-on focus in the primary curriculum.

This initiative is intended to enhance from the early years an appreciation for growing one’s own food.
The venture forms part of the Minister of Education’s vision of the country having a better level of food security and so equipping its citizens with the knowledge and skills set.

 Mathematics: A number of workshops have been held with upper primary and upper secondary mathematics teachers.

The workshops addressed pedagogical methods for teaching areas teachers found to be difficult to teach.
For the workshop involving secondary teachers, time was also spent in addressing questions related to the revised CXC/CSEC Mathematics syllabus which now includes an SBA component.
Figure 9: Agricultural Science at the Seventh Day Adventist and Mary E Pigott Primary schools Figure 10: Harvesting at the Cedar Grove Primary School Generally, in whatever curriculum or general education area workshops and professional development is held, teachers and leaders are encouraged to form on-the- ground communities of practice/professional learning communities (CoP/PLC) as a grass-roots means of learning and working together to improve the craft of teaching.
Strategic Imperative 4 Improve the quality of teaching and learning The MOEST remains committed to the charge of the OESS Every Learner Succeeds.

As it works towards this goal, as it strategizes for the further development of education in the twin island state of Antigua and Barbuda, the Ministry must address the paradigm shift that has taken place in education due to the introduction of technology.

This can only be realized through the transformation of the teaching and learning environment.
Hence as embedded in the ICT in Education Policy, the Ministry proposes ‘to harness 285 both technology and self-paced learning to enable at-risk students to keep pace with the curriculum and to introduce more flexible support systems during the school day, thus engaging these students in solving their educational challenges before they drop out of the system prematurely’.
Also in the transformation process, the OESS purports that ‘teachers will adapt their teaching techniques so that their classrooms become child- centred, friendly, participatory and inclusive.

‘In arguably, integration of technology in the teaching-learning process will enable some of this.
In an attempt to implement the existing policies, in 2016, the Ministry engaged in a number of technology-related activities; these are outlined following:  In February 2016, the MOEST held its first Science, Technology, Engineering and Mathematics (STEM) summit.

The intent of this summit was to engage in high level discussions with potential partners who were known to have education solutions which can assist with the transformation of the teaching and learning environment.
The chosen partners included Promethean, Discovery Education, Houghton Mifflin Harcourt, LEGO Education, New Jersey Center for Teaching and Learning, and University of South Florida.

Local stakeholders such as principals, Education Officers, teachers, public partners (APUA) and private partners (Digicel, LIME) were invited to be a part of these discussions.
 As a means of reaching the digital natives which constitute the majority of our learners and also as possible solution to reduce spending on books, the MOEST has embarked on an E-Book initiative with its newly found partner Fortuna Pix.
In Phase 1 of the initiative, content was produced for 15 subject areas at the secondary level, namely Mathematics, English A, Information Technology, Office Administration, Principles of Accounts, Physics, Biology, Chemistry, Integrated Science, Electronic Document Preparation Management, Agriculture Science, Economics, Food and Nutrition, Principles of Business and Social Studies.

A total of 32 books were produced.


The books will reside on an analytical platform which will facilitate online testing and will enable the ready access of students’ performance data to aid teachers in decision making processes.

It is expected that from this initiative teachers will be commissioned as content producers.
 Under the CDB’s BEP2, there is a consultancy which will be done shortly to assist in the realization of a central data repository which will enable the ready access of educational resources by students and teachers.

Also, already started under BEP2 are two other consultancies –Strengthening Resource Allocation Capacity and Teacher Education Evaluation and Reform.

It is anticipated that these consultancies will impact the outcome of the transformation positively.
 The MOEST in an attempt to make education more affordable and to expand its database of content has identified Open Education Resources (OERs) as a means to support the transformation process.

Hence the Ministry has engaged teachers in the use of the Notes Master platform (CXC online learning tool) to create and use OER resources to develop courses to encourage online learning.
Also, in continued collaboration with the COL Open Textbook Initiative, the Ministry has designed and implemented an online course in Entrepreneurship at the CAPE level.

The continued use of tools such as Moodle will serve to foster the practice of online learning and allow for both teachers and students to have more control over their own learning.
As well, following the closure of the NTTC in July 2016, the Ministry crafted and implemented a Learning Support Programme (LSP) for the students who had been in that school as they were moved to specific secondary schools.

The LSP involves having 2 – 3 teachers dedicated to the student group in their specific school; these teachers are responsible for 80% of the students’ learning, and provide the required remedial support they need to be in secondary school.
From the first term of implementation, the programme has been well received and is going well; full parental support in sending the children to school and generally providing for and being there for the children is still needed.

It is envisioned that similar such programmes will need to be implemented in secondary schools to more effectively provide the needed remedial help some students require on transitioning to secondary school.
286 In partnership with the OECS/EDMU and the UWI the MOEST saw beginning work in an Early Learners Programme (ELP) which will provide needed interventions at the primary level to address reading difficulties evidenced there and identified from a survey under this project.
It is hoped that Antigua and Barbuda’s participation in the project will see capacity building skills garnered by selected primary teachers to address these issues, and who will in turn be able to train other early years teachers in the techniques.

Ultimately, it is hoped that this programme reduces the proportion of students who need extended remedial help with literacy at the upper primary and secondary levels.
Under a Classroom Resource Initiative, a cash-back programme was implemented which allowed individual teachers to claim (on evidence of the necessary receipts) up to ECD$300 spent in buying materials to aid teaching and learning in their classrooms over the course of the academic year.

Pay backs where handled through the BoE in October/November 2016.The intention is to raise this amount to ECD$1000 for the 2016- 17 academic year.
Although it is a humongous task, the Ministry sees that the transformation which is required in the teaching learning environment is inevitable.

If we are to reach every learner, if we are to make education in our country more affordable, if we are to develop the men and women into the ideal contributing citizens needed to build our nation into the Economic Power House, we must work towards this transformation strategically.

This therefore remains a primary focus.
Strategic Imperative 5 Improve Curriculum and Strategies for Assessment Curriculum Matters The MOE continues on its thrust of Every Learner Achieves and to this end the Curriculum Development Unit (CDU) will endeavor to prepare a generation of critical thinkers and committed citizens who will be able to contribute towards the development of Antigua and Barbuda through constant review, monitoring and evaluation of the curriculum to meet the challenges of the 21st Century.
In an effort to ensure that the Curriculum is relevant to the children of Antigua and Barbuda, a number of strategies were employed:  Review of the primary curricula in Social Studies and Science to include critical thinking skills and ICT integration: The Science team is working on a 5- year strategic plan to advance Science education in Antigua and Barbuda.

This work includes strengthening of the curriculum to bring emphasis to students having practical hand-on experiences in Agricultural Science.
The Language Curriculum was also reviewed to tackle the literacy issues and make it more user-friendly for practitioners.

It is to be piloted in the next school year(2017).

During the year under review, the Social Studies curriculum was reviewed to make it more culturally relevant and address critical thinking and problem solving skills.
In the absence of a curriculum officer, the Mathematics programme was supervised by the Planning Unit and they have devised strategies to address the poor Mathematics performance at the primary and secondary levels to include workshops for teachers and boot camps for students.

The Planning Unit will continue to address the numeracy issues until a new Education Officer is recruited.
 Review of the Secondary School Curricula: The secondary school curricula for Science and Social Studies were reviewed during the school year.

The need for the curriculum breakdown of subject areas for the digitized texts project has propelled a revision of the Science curriculum (Physics, Chemistry, Biology, Integrated Science) in keeping with the revised CSEC syllabi.
The digitized texts are scheduled to be utilized in schools from January 2017 and they have been crafted from curricula using culturally relevant and appropriate materials to suit the needs of students in Antigua and Barbuda for the 15 subjects identified.

287 Ultimately, the digitized textbooks will replace the hard copies of texts and will offer an avenue for more teacher support in and outside the classroom.
 Addressing the issue of literacy: The CDU has been monitoring schools especially at the primary level to a limited extent due to other portfolios being handled by the Unit during the time under review.

In an effort to improve planning and practice, however, the CDU will be soliciting the assistance of all Education Officers, Principals, master teachers and senior teachers to assist with the much-needed monitoring and evaluation in our schools.
The CDU is presently compiling the roster and data collection sheet for the monitoring activity.

This process will begin in January 2017.

 Social Studies National Assessment: In the absence of an Education Officer for Social Sciences, the National Assessment in Social Studies was handled by the CDU.
A team of teachers was recruited to assist with the writing and grading of the assessment and workshops were held with the Grade 6 Social Studies teachers to prepare them for the SBA component of the Assessment.

The final workshop for the year was held in December 2016 on map reading to appraise teachers about the rudiments of map reading since this component has posed some challenges for students in past assessments.
Schools will be provided with standardized maps of Antigua and Barbuda produced by the Survey Division to be used in future assessments since many maps being used are tourist maps which are usually not accurate.
 Expanding curriculum offerings: In an effort to diversify and make more relevant the secondary school curriculum and in keeping with the Minister of Education’s vision of food security for the nation, the MOEST approached and received funding for the building of an aquaponics system at the St Mary’s Secondary School from the Japanese Grassroots Programme.

The system, valued at approximately ECD$ ½ million, will cover 500 square feet.
This school will thus serve as a pilot thematic school which sees Agricultural Science-related aspects integrated across curriculum areas based on what is made possible from the aquaponics project.
Figure 11: Model of Expected Aquaponics Facility for St. Mary’s Secondary and Handshakes all around The CDU has planned as focus the following activities going forward:  To address the issue of literacy in schools and in Antigua and Barbuda on a whole, the Unit will launch a Reading Across the Nation Programme which will target EACH individual living in Antigua and Barbuda.

The aim of the Programme will be for reading to become a natural part of an individual's existence from the cradle to the grave.
The reading Programme will take the form of a sensitization pathway about the value of reading (billboards, posters, flyers, media sessions etc) as well as providing access to reading materials.

The MOEST will spearhead the Programme with the assistance of other partners such as the National Library, Archives, ABS among others.

 The introduction of a Civics Programme in all schools beginning in the primary schools in the school year 2017.
The aim of this Programme will be to educate children in Antigua and Barbuda on what it means to be a citizen of Antigua and Barbuda and the responsibility that it entails.

The Programme is presently being drafted/formulated for piloting in the third term.

288  Pedagogical Showcase: Enquiry-based learning and experiential learning will be encouraged at all levels.

Teachers will be encouraged to share pedagogical expertise through participation in learning communities (CoP/PLC).
Schools' efforts and successes in the use of engaging and effective pedagogy will be showcased using the Education Broadcasting Unit (EBU) and/or ABS television.

Assessment Matters Overview of the 2016 Grades 2, 4 and 6 National Assessments Results The Measurement and Evaluation Unit (M&EU) is mindful of the importance of the National Assessments which are intended to improve teaching and learning at the primary level of the education system.
Assessment at the Grades 2 and 4 levels is diagnostic in nature and is designed to diagnose students’ strengths and weaknesses so that the weaknesses can be addressed through diverse remediation strategies while at the Grade 6 level, assessment is for placement purposes.

Grade 2 National Assessments The 2016 Grade 2 National Assessment (G2NA) in Language Arts was written on May 30 by the then Grade 2 students from government and private schools.
One thousand four hundred three students (661 females; 742 males) sat the Assessment.

Overall, students’ performance in this assessment was slightly below average.

Of the 1 403 students, 702 (or 50%) earned 55% (the benchmark) and higher.

However, as shown in Figure 12, there was a 15% decrease in performance as compared to 2015.
Figure 12: Percentage of Students at and below Grade Level in 2015 & 2016 The 2016 G2NA in Mathematics was written on May 31 by one thousand four hundred twenty students (674 females; 746 males).

Students’ performance in this assessment was satisfactory.

Nine hundred twenty two of the students (or 65%) obtained 55% and higher.

However, Figure 13 indicates that there was a 10% decrease in performance as compared to 2015.
Teachers, through engaging in continuous professional development opportunities, are encouraged to increase and sustain their efforts in using best practices in the teaching and assessment of Mathematics in order to meet and exceed the gains that were realised in 2015.

Figure 13: Percentage of students at and below Grade Level in 2015 & 2016 Grade 4 National Assessments 289 The 2016 Grade 4 National Assessment (G4NA) in Language Arts was written on May 30 by 1 260 students (631 females; 629 males).
Overall performance in this assessment was below average.

As shown in Figure 14, there was a two percent (2%) decrease in performance this year compared to 2015.

Of the 1 260 students assessed, only 452 (or 36%) of them were able to score 55% and higher.

The majority (64%: 78% government; 49% private) of the students were operating below grade level.
Figure 14: Percentage of students at and below Grade Level in 2015 & 2016 The 2016 G4NA in Mathematics was written on May 31by 1 266 students (631 females; 635 males).

The students’ overall performance in this assessment was slightly above standard.

Of the total number of students who sat the assessment, 783 students (or 62%) were able to obtain 55% and higher.

According to Figure 15, there was a 17% increase in students’ overall performance in 2016 compared with 2015.
Quite interestingly, the percentage of students that performed below grade level in 2014 has become the percentage of students that has performed at grade level in 2016 (62%).

This improvement in students’ performance over the past three years is very encouraging and evidently substantiates that teachers have increased their best practices in Mathematics.
Figure 15: Percentage of students at and below Grade Level in 2014, 2015 & 2016 NB Grade Level (GL) is defined as the standard expected level of achievement at a particular time in the year for the specified grade.
The cut offs for GLs for the Grades 2 and 4 National Assessments are as follows:  ≥ 80% - Grade 1 (Above GL)  55% - 79% - Grade 2 (At GL) 290  40% - 54% - Grade 3 (Below GL)  < 40% - Grade 4 (Far Below GL) Grade 6 National Assessment A total of 1 305 students from twenty-nine (29) government primary and twenty-eight (28) private primary schools wrote the Grade 6 National Assessment (G6NA).

Students were assessed in four core areas, namely Language Arts, Mathematics, Science and Social Studies.
Table 2 shows the number of students who sat the Assessment by gender and school type.

Table 2: Number of Students who sat the G6NA by Gender and School Type SAT Females Males Total Government Private 310 386 696 311 298 609 Total 621 684 1 305 The students’ performances were categorized according to Levels 1, 2, 3 and 4.

Level 1 students received marks ranging from 260 - 378, Level 2: 180 - 259, Level 3: 102 - 179 and Level 4: 52 – 101.
Table 3 shows the number and percentage of females and males at each level.

Table 3: Number and Percentage of Students at each Level Level 1 234 Females 159 Males 393 Total Percentage 30% Level 2 316 345 661 51% Level 3 70 171 241 18% Level 4 1 9 10 1% As indicated in Table 3 above, 81% of the students performed at Levels 1 and 2 while 19% of the students performed at Levels 3 and 4.
Of note, the percentage of students at the Level 4 category is one percent (1%) which meets target eight (8) of the Education Sector Plan for Antigua and Barbuda.

This achievement is five years before the expected target year as outlined in the sector plan.

An examination of Table 4 indicates slight improved performance in Social Studies whereas in Language Arts and Science there was a slight decrease in comparison with 2015.
However, there was a greater decrease in the students’ performances in Mathematics.
Table 4: Number & Percentage of students with 50% and above in each subject Subject Language Arts Mathematics Science Social Studies 2015 Number of students (50% & above) 652 1024 1081 1043 % 50% 79% 84% 81% 2016 Number of students (50% & above) 607 745 1006 1116 % 47% 57% 77% 86% Going forward, the M&EU expects to continue working with Education Officers Primary School Administration and primary school principals and teachers to further reduce the proportion of students operating at both the levels 3 and 4 from the G6NA, 291 so giving students a better start to their secondary school learning experiences.
It is expected that strategies and other interventions from the Early Learners Programme (ELP), an OECS/EDMU initiative targeting early reading experiences for lower primary will aid in bringing about improvements here, as from assessment results it appears that some proportion of students’ under performance in national assessments can be attributed to reading issues.
Strategic Imperative 6 Increase access to quality early childhood services Over the period under review the ECD Unit continued to: (i) monitor and assist early childhood institutions to ensure that they operate at least at minimum standard; (ii) provide training in early childhood care, development and education; and (iii) be a resource centre for persons needing information about ECD.
In efforts towards realising the goal of achieving universal Pre-K education by 2018, the MOEST secured funding for building of a pre-school and model ECD centre; this project is to be erected in Buckleys.

In the meanwhile, a number of scholarships made available to teachers are for undergraduate studies in ECD, as the MOEST prepares to staff the model Pre-K centre on its completion and address the quality aspect of SI-6.
There can be no doubt that there is a need for increased access to affordable and quality ECD services.

Estimates(2014-15) from the MOEST’s Planning Unit show that approximately 75% of the nation’s 3 and 4 year olds are attending pre-school.

However, whilst over 90% of first-time Kindergarteners in private schools have attended a pre-school, only 60% of first-time Kindergarteners in public schools have so done.
One could surmise from this that most of the missing 25% of 3 – 4 year olds not attending pre-schools are likely in homes which cannot afford pre-school, so there is a need for the government to step up to the plate and provide more pre-K places.

By increasing access to ECD centres the government then will be investing in this critical stage of a child’s development.
Strategic Imperative 7 Provide opportunities for all learners in technical and vocational education and training The Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) sector is generally considered to be those areas of the curriculum that are skills- or competence-oriented.
Traditionally, it encompasses those subjects in the Home Economics and Industrial Technology field, but disciplines like Agricultural Science, Business, Information Technology, Music, Physical Education and Sports, Theatre Arts and Visual Arts are all skills or competence-based.

Data from schools on the CXC/CSEC subjects 5th form students sit show that more than 90% of students sit a subject in at least one of these expanded TVET curriculum areas.
Thus, TVET is an integral and at the same time an evolving component of the curriculum that is very effective in conveying attitudes, knowledge and values that are relevant and applicable to everyday life in this era.

The implementation of TVET programmes in the national curriculum serves to fulfil one of the philosophical underpinnings and framework of the education system.
This proviso states that ‘The Ministry believes that access, equity, and quality are the standards that will guide the provision of education to the people of Antigua and Barbuda.

This is the only way to ensure that every person is guaranteed the opportunity to acquire knowledge, skills, aptitudes and appropriate attitude necessary to become productive members of the society’.
(Education and Training for Economic Advancement (National Education Sector Plan 2015-21), p. 9- 10)Hence, the TVET sub-sector is critically important to ensure the accomplishment of this mandate as it is ideally suited and designed to do so.
The TVET subjects have the flexibility to cater to all learners no matter their ability, and to be applicable to the requirements of industry and commerce, thus making education and training relevant and responsive to developmental and technological changes and needs of the society.
The more significant achievements for this period under review include: 292  Continued professional development of teachers through workshops and seminars;  Monitoring, support and assessment of teachers, in particular new recruits to the system;  Implementation of new curricula in some areas;  Upgrading, refurbishing and construction of labs in most areas (e.g.
new Home Economics lab built and refurbishment of the Industrial Technology lab at PMS);  Continued Teacher Education programmes in some areas and the implementation of a new Teacher Education programmme for practitioners of Visual Arts;  Summer Internship/work experience programme for selected upper secondary Business students.
As TVET is being increasingly recognized internationally as a valuable component of the educational process there is also an increasing need for the acquisition of such technical and employability skills today among our youth.
Thus, some of the plans going forward to aid the attainment of this goal should embrace;  Continued development and reviewing of the primary school curricula for some areas;  Continued promotion of the professional advancement of teachers in the sector through further education and training and industrial attachments;  Continued upgrading and resourcing of labs with recommended materials, tools, machines and equipment;  Promotion of the sub-sector for the value it contributes to the educational process, and to bridge the divide between it and the academic curricula;  Training and certifying of teachers in Competence-Based Education and Training (CBET) to meet the requirements in the implementation of the CVQ awards;  Greater incorporation of technological tools in the management and oversight of the programmes and in the teaching-learning process;  Implementation of activities that will provide further opportunities to nurture the talents of students and expose them to work world;  Improving the relationship with commerce and industry partners to ensure that existing and new programmes are appropriate to their needs.
In conclusion, TVET advances the diversification of the curriculum making it very supportive of the comprehensive development of learners and preparing them to be meaningful contributors in the socio-economic development of a society.

This position is approved in the OESS publication of 2012 as it noted that ‘the whole curriculum be designed and delivered to provide all learners with skills and competencies needed to succeed in life and work’ (p.42).
Strategic Imperative 8 Increase provisions for tertiary education and training A notable accomplishment in this area as relates to the Education sector has to do with the increased scholarship opportunities mentioned earlier which have been made available from the Minister of Education’s scholarships through the BoE for teachers, principals, Education Officers, and other MOEST personnel to up skill and develop professionally.
A major step forward in establishing the University College of Antigua and Barbuda, an affiliate of the UWI, has been the preparation of the legislation to institute the university college.

This legislation, among other things, will repeal existing legislation for existing tertiary institutions and amalgamate same into the university college, with intents for expansion.

The bill will see its first reading in parliament in the 2017 sittings.
Relatedly, occupancy of the Five Islands campus by the Teacher Education Department of the Antigua State College has served to move the process forward of instituting the university college; it is expected that the School of Nursing will also formally move to that location by September 2017.

Retrofitting of buildings at the campus has been 293 necessitated to accommodate occupancy by these two departments and ECD$1 million has been pledged as an initial show of commitment to this process.
In November 2016, an Aircraft Maintenance Training Centre was opened in the Engineering Department of the Antigua State College (ASC).

This facility will provide practical, hands-on experience to students in this skill area.

The programme offers training in the inspection, maintenance, and repair of aircraft and aircraft components, with topics to include the role of the Aircraft Maintenance Engineer as being responsible for aviation safety and airworthiness.
Courses cover all aspects of aircraft maintenance for both fixed wing and rotary wing aircrafts and include safety practices, ground handling, inspection techniques, power plant, structural repair, aircraft systems, and avionics.

The blend of course delivery will comprise of 50 % Theory and 50 % Practical in the hangar, including brief rotations/exposure at the hangers of our industry partners LIAT and Caribbean Helicopters Limited.
The curriculum was developed using the applicable Eastern Caribbean Civil Aviation Authority (ECCAA) regulations Appendix No.2 as guide.

Successful students could receive credit towards the 3-year mandatory experience required for sitting the ECCAA licensing examinations.

The ASC programme will run for three years with a maximum of 24 students for any single cohort.
Figure 16: Opening of the Aircraft Maintenance Training Centre at the ASC With respect to continuing education, the MOEST has begun an Adult Education Programme (AEP) for interested persons desirous of continuing their education and enhancing their own personal development.

The classes take place twice weekly at the National Public Library.
Cross-cutting Themes Under the cross-cutting theme of Other Education Issues, and in recognition of the country’s vulnerability to climate change and other natural disasters, focus has been placed over the period under review to bringing disaster awareness and preparedness to the fore in what schools do.

The MOEST partnered with the AUA in training the first cohort of 25 teachers in the use of the Automated External Defibrillator (AED).
AEDs, used to treat sudden heart attacks, isa portable device that checks the heart’s rhythm and can send an electric shock to the heart to try to restore a normal rhythm.

It is anticipated that by the close of the 2016-17 school year all teachers across the country would have been so trained.

Other Achievements The MOEST celebrated other achievements over the period under review which are difficult to categorize under the SI as given.
Some of these will be noted here:  Under the Child-Friendly School (CFS) initiative, Signs showing expected behaviours on the national school buses were placed within and on the outside of these buses.

The competition for design of those signs was won by the Island Academy (see Figure 14);  The Planning Unit published its 4th edition of the national Educational Statistical Digest.
This edition covers three academic years, 2012-13, 2013-14 and 2014-15; 294  New schools were added to the School Meals Programme and as well the government did away with the up-front $1 contribution required of students to participate in the programme;  The MOEST now boasts a re-vamped webpage.

It is anticipated that this page will also serve as a repository for content teachers develop in their subject areas under the OER and other related programmes.
Figure 18: Winning Signs on School Buses Displaying Expected Behavioursfrom CFS Competition Issues During the past year, departments were faced with a number of issues that worked against efficiency in the workplace.

They are the following: 1.

Inadequate staffing 2.

Lack of security 3.

Lack of resources 4.

Inadequate housing of major departments Antigua State College: The Student Management Information System was purchased, however, the staff requested to support this project was not put in place.
Additionally, the College is in urgent need of a dedicated records unit ; adequately staffed with the requisite staff to remove the routine function of the records unit from the IT Department.

Critical to this thrust is the hiring of persons with strong ICT skills to include a network administrator.

Objective 2.

Increase student performance by providing the necessary tools and infrastructure to enhance the overall learning environment.
The physical Plant at the Golden Grove campus needs a complete overhaul ,as many of the buildings are in urgent need of repair and quite frankly are not befitting of a modern 21 st century tertiary institution; deemed to be the premier tertiary institution.

It is hoped that given the student centred thrust articulated by the college that a major enhancement of the physical plant has the potential to significantly impact the overall student learning environment.
Stable and reliable internet remains a serious challenge for all ASC Campuses, the issue of connectivity at the Golden Grove campus is indeed dire, as it is the largest campus and the inadequacy of the current bandwidth makes the student and faculty experience extremely frustrating.

It is recommended that a dedicated fibre optics cable be brought up to the College to provide the bandwidth necessary, if indeed our vision for the integration of technology into education is to be realised.
Another area of concern is the limited opening hours for the library.

Given that classes are timetabled from 8:00a.m.to 9:30p.m., the limited opening hours is particularly challenging for those department s which are off the Golden Grove Campus as there is very little opportunity to meet the library open after classes.

This situation is highly unacceptable.

It should be noted that for many of the courses extensive research is required.
This Budget Plan therefore proposes that the staff required for the extended 295 opening hours of the library should be financed during the Budget Year 2016.

This would provide more opportunities for independent study and support the research capability of the student body.

Objective 3.

To upgrade the physical plant to bring it in line with a modern-day tertiary institution.

In attempting to maintain the thirty (40) year old buildings, funds were found to be inadequate.
For example, a survey of the electrical installations have revealed that the electrical wiring throughout the campus have deteriorated throughout the College and is unsafe.

This needs to be addressed URGENTLY.

Unfortunately, however, funds allocated for maintenance had to be spent in repairing the property after the many instances of break-ins and vandalism resulting from the lack of property security on the College Compound.
The electrical system was declared a disaster hazard by technicians from the Public Works Department and an independent Electrical Engineer.

Some steps have been taken to address these deficiencies, but the required maintenance still remains a challenge.

Objective 4.

To ensure overall safety and comfort of staff and students.
In this regard, the institution was unable to fully realise its objective in that funds were not approved for the fencing of the College deemed as the necessary first phase in securing the College Compound.

While the project for the piloting of a comprehensive security system was approved, no funds were released to implement the critical fencing of the immediate surroundings of the 17-acre Golden Grove Campus.
The resulting issues and the impact on safety and security which arose are still concerns at the College.

Summary of Critical Issues Between 2007 and 2016 , the College was plagued by break-ins and vandalism as a result of the insecure educational plant.

A large amount of maintenance funds were used to repair the damage to buildings and replace furniture.

Much time was wasted in clean up after the police investigations.
The current security arrangement at the Golden Grove Campus are woefully inadequate and must be positively addressed sooner rather than later.

The Library offered reduced Library hours after the complement of staff in the Library was reduced to three (3) over a period of five (5) years from original cohort of seven (7).

The positions which “are not to be filled “should be activated to allow for the increased hours from 3:00 p.m.to 10:00 p.m. in order to address this problem.
Other technical positions required are: Laboratory Technicians: Chemistry - (position vacant through VSP).

Physics – (position became vacant when the technician became a teacher) IT Laboratory Technicians and Monitors The upgrade of the facilities at the Antigua State College is work in progress , but the pace is not in keeping with the level of the student enrolment or the number of programmes developed.
Classroom space is inadequate to meet the need of current student population and the social amenities such as cafeteria and student lounge are non -existent.

ABIIT Achievements: Over the past Academic year ABIIT has achieved the following: 1.

Became OECS University partner for the AMLFC Institute 2.

Successfully launched fully online courses throughout all majors of study 3.

Secured Partnership Agreement with St. Mary’s University from Halifax, Canada 4.
Successfully launched Gift of Education Program in collaboration with the Ministry of Education, Science & Technology 296 5.

Doubled enrollment and recorded highest Fall enrollment totals since the conversion of ABIIT to MOEST 6.

Successfully trained Staff from the Antigua & Barbuda Transport Board and the Antigua & Barbuda Airport Authority through our specialized training programs.
1.15 ABIIT’ Areas of Concern: While we celebrate these unquestionable commendable achievements, there are issues of grave concerns which can erode the successes of the past several years.

Most of these concerns are directly related to the financial resources of ABIIT.

The concerns are discussed according to the following departments:  IT Department  Academic Department  Building Department  Financial Department 1.16 IT Department There is an urgent need for the upgrading of the IT infrastructure.
Most of the equipment was installed since ABIIT’s inception in 2001.

The normal life span of computer equipment is about five (5) years.

Presently, constant repairs, significant downtime for students, inability to teach some critical courses make replacement of equipment an absolute necessity.
1.17 Academic Department The academic department is in need of the following: a) Librarian b) Counselor c) Heads of Departments Librarian: No tertiary academic institution can enlist the respect of the international academic community without the services of a functional library and trained librarian.

ABIIT has a small collection of books and access to significant electronic data bases; however, there is need for the services of a trained librarian..
Counselor: For a total of about seven (7) years, ABIIT engaged the services of trained counselors.

In 2008 the Counsellor sought and gained transfer to the academic department.

To fill the void of a permanent counselor, ABIIT secured the services of three interns through the UWI Master’s program.

That program has now come to an end as the three persons have completed their internship requirements.

Insufficient paid Heads of Department: Presently there are a total of seven (7) academic departments.
Building Department A/C units & Ducts: Most of the air conditioning units have reached their life expectancy and can break at any time.

These units need to be replaced immediately to avoid any disruptions to the daily functioning of the institution.

Some of the units have been replaced, but we still need to replace critical units, and replace the ducts made of fiber optic glass, which is deteriorating rapidly and causing health concerns amongst staff.
Bathrooms: 297 The bathroom fixtures have been in place from ABIIT’s inception in 2001.

The toilets are showing signs of age and need to be replaced.

Various components of the restrooms need to be repaired and replace.

School Meals Programme: 1.

With limited resources, the NSMP has been able to deliver quality service to its patrons through the provision of daily meals to 25 schools.

2.

The physical environment at the Central Kitchen requires upgrading to improve operational efficiency.

3.
3.

The School Meals Service continues to have a positive impact on the economy, especially in the agricultural sector.

Goods and services are procured from local farmers and wholesalers in keeping with the Ministry’s policy to purchase local as a first option.
The Archives: Performance Review: At the 30th September 2015, the staff list comprised of four (4) established workers (Director, Archivist, & 2 Junior Clerks); eight (8) non established workers (Research Officer, Conservator, 3 Ancillary workers, 3 Watchmen); three (3) from the ‘Work Experience Programme’ within the Ministry of Labour and three (3) Watchmen.
However, in December 2014, through the ‘Work Experience Programme’ within the Ministry of Labour we were able to acquire three (3) additional workers which has greatly assisted in the indexing, listing and tagging of important documents.

More importantly, these three workers from December 2014 to September 2015 made 3,500 entries onto the computers, reorganised the repositories rooms, processed and catalogued 200 linear sheets of documents.
There are new air conditioning split units mounted in the auditorium, Reading room, Exhibition room, Conservation room, Digitization room, Repository room upstairs.

I am asking that the central air conditioning unit be retained in Repository rooms 1 and 2 but that the entire unit is replaced because of the new guidelines on air conditioning, which outlawed the use of Freon 22.

The current reading/research area was not designed for computer use.

There are only two (2) electrical outlets.


The furniture should be upgraded since the sloping Formica tables are also inhibitive to the use of computers.

The area is too small to facilitate the installation of a computer cluster to assist researchers, and for the additions of microfilm and microfiche readers.
The electrical contractor has added six (6) electrical outlets and data in the reading room, six (6) electrical outlets and data in the conservation room, four (4) electrical outlets and data in Repository room one, two (2) electrical outlets and data in Repository Room upstairs; and six (6) electrical outlets and data in the digitization / microfilm room The three repositories are not fire proof and they have regular doors.
Repository 1 has nine (9) stand- alone shelves; Repository 2 has 10 stand- alone shelves, and Repository 3 has no shelves.

During the August 2016, the staff removed the racks and archival materials from Repository Room 2 upstairs and relocated them to Repository 3 downstairs.

Repository Room 2 upstairs now has 3 racks.

We NEED new microfilm readers and printers; scanners to digitize records for researchers as well as digital cameras.

We NEED proper storage for maps, drawings and photographs.
The Sugar Factory documents have a number of large maps and drawings which are currently being stored on the boxes.

We NEED a functioning Security System.

Three (3) watchmen are inadequate for this institution.
We NEED desks and chairs for staff; furniture for the conference room, and audio visual machines 298 Data entries for the National Archives from September 2015- September 2016 are estimated as follow: Leeward Island Act Negro Court Record Marriage Vows of Antigua Record of Deeds (1842-1845) Leeward Island Gazette Law of Antigua Construction Activities Total entries 97,748 Total entries 683 Total Entries 1962 Total Entries 4,091 Total Entries 314,360 Total Entries 707 On the Wednesday 4th November 2015, repairs to the leaking flat roof at the National Archives commenced.
The contractor informed me on Friday 11th December 2015 that his task was complete.
From Monday 22nd February 2016 to Friday 29th April 2016, the building contractor and his team removal of sagging sheet rock, rain soaked sheet rock, sheet rock with mould and pests (termites) from the reading room, microfilm room, conservation room, binding room, kitchen, rest rooms, asbestos from two (2) central air conditioning ducts and the removal of the air conditioning units that has been in operation since 1990, broken floor tiles removed, the floor carpet removed from the auditorium.
Except for the three repository rooms, the entire interior of the National Archives was gutted.

The Electrical and air conditioning contractors removed faulty wires and appliances from all spaces at the National Archives.

All structural cracks were opened and repaired.

The Ministry of Information contractor installed data cables.

Summary of Critical Issues: There are five critical issues affecting the Archives: A.

Financing See Appendix 1 B.


Staffing and Training The National Archives is very short staff.

Currently there are six members of staff and three Ancillary workers.

I am making a request for the following staff and training to the Ministry of Education, Science and Technology, which has the responsibility to provide the human resource for the effective management of the Archives.

These are the staff requested: 1.

Executive Officer 2.

Senior Clerk 3.

Junior Clerk 4.

Records Manager 5.


Assistant Records Manager 6.

Researcher 7.

Assistant Researcher 8.

Conservator / Book binder 9.

Assistant Conservator / Book binder 10.

Assistant Archivist 11.


Part time Systems Technician The training needs of the National Archives of Antigua and Barbuda, in terms of priority are: Information Technology – Archives Preservation  Records Management  Digital Preservation   Conservation & Binding  Archives Administration  Genealogical Studies 299 C. Website development With the trend toward placing entire collection on-line, the Archives need to create website and begin to put its collection online.
This would increase user ship and could bring financial rewards.

This would need a Systems technician on staff to initiate this programme.

D. Repairs to Building Infrastructure Sadly, the intense rainfall on Monday 5th September 2016 has highlighted that the flat roof that was repaired in November / December 2015 has leaked water into the reading room again.
This is distressing because the new ceiling put in place in July 2016 is showing water pockets, water entering through the new lighting fixtures, and form other areas in the reading room.

Buckets once again had to be placed in these areas to collect water from the leaking roof.

The temporary fixes have not worked.

As an Archive, we have to be very careful with moisture as it facilitates the growth of moulds and mildew, which are hazardous to both records and staff.
We NEED new microfilm readers and printers; scanners to digitize records for researchers as well as digital cameras.

We NEED proper storage for maps, drawings and photographs.

The Sugar Factory documents have a number of large maps and drawings which are currently being stored on the boxes.

We NEED a functioning Security System.

Three (3) watchmen are inadequate for this institution.

We NEED desks and chairs for staff; furniture for the conference room, and audio visual machines E. Why Digitize?
As digital technology becomes more ubiquitous in daily life it can be easy to forget that it was not always there.

As more people are born into a world where most information is created digitally, the expectations for all archives collections to be available electronically will continue to grow and users will expect that content to be available in a variety of formats and on multiple devices.
The desire to access materials on line is part of a trend in Archives towards digital inclusion and providing a range of digital content and access options.

Digital access redefines an Archives community form geographically based to interest based.

Individuals who no longer live in their hometown are able to access digital versions of their high school yearbooks.

Antiguans that have never lived near our Archives can find our collections online and even volunteer or donate relevant materials.
Researchers, Historians and school children from all around the world will be able to find and use our Archives digitized collections.

Preservation of original materials is another reason to digitize.

Over time scrapbooks, photographs, audio, video and other items can start to degrade.

In some cases digitization can prevent total loss of content.

Digitization and digital restoration can help make higher quality items available to our users without altering the original material.

.
.

Strategic Objectives & Priorities:  Making every document available to researchers whether by microform, digitization or conservation.

This should protect the originals and extend their life cycle.

Provide user guides for each and every collection so researchers can see what is available.

Provide shelf lists that documents can be easily located.
  Problems: Researchers do not have access to the list of collections to facilitate their research, and some documents are so fragile that access has to be denied.

300 Currently, National Archives of Antigua and Barbuda (NAAB) need to upgrade its service to the public by putting the collection on-line.

301 Antigua and Barbuda National Accreditation Board CRITICAL ISSUES 1.

The most critical issue for ABNAB at present is the need for the building to be renovated and upgraded.
At present, there are issues of problematic electrical wiring, security concerns 2.

Funding remains an issue of concern.

At present, ABNAB is unable to execute its planned activities in a timely manner because we are uncertain when government subvention sporadic.

Indeed, some activities cannot be conducted at all because of budget constraints.

3.

At ABNAB, capacity building is also critical.


Officers must be constantly updating their skills especially as far as the detection of fraudulent documents and /or credentials is concerned.

Increased opportunities must therefore be made available for training.

Additionally, workshops must be held to build capacity for evaluators who are among the most important stakeholders.
302 National Training Agency: In this year 2017 my government will continue to support the development of the National Training Agency.

This Agency is tasked with providing regionally recognized certification for persons in the workforce and persons in vocational training institutions.

As my Government continues to develop Antigua and Barbuda in to an “Economic Power House”, there is an urgent need to train and certify the workforce.
Therefore the National Training Agency needs to be resourced in order to fulfill its mandate.

We will highlight three activities we initiated and continued to work within the past year 2016; 1.

Youth Skills Development Programme The Antigua and Barbuda National Training Agency is worked in partnership with the GARD Centre in the delivery of a Youth Skills Development Programme in Marine Maintenance.
This pre-technology programme is part of a broader group of programmes that are being developed in collaboration with the CARICOM Education for Employment Programme (C-EFE) funded by the Canadian federal government, and the Youth Skills Development Programme (YSD) funded by the United Kingdom’s Department for International Development (DFID).

Boat maintenance, particularly sailboat maintenance, is an important economic activity in Antigua.
In fact “Since 1968 when the first official sailing week activities were hosted, the marine industry in Antigua and Barbuda has developed rapidly with a number of businesses being established to meet the needs of this industry, i.e., small engine repair, sail repairs, varnishing, fibreglassing, rigging, etc.

Antigua in fact has become one of the leading boat varnishing experts and yachts from the around the world travel to Antigua for boat servicing.
However the development of this industry in Antigua and Barbuda has slowed down due to a lack of trained persons.” (SLCTVET, 2014: p.15).

This pre-technology program will provide opportunities for unemployed vulnerable youth, both male and female.

Presently all most one hundred young persons have benefited from the training.

2.
2.

Assessor Training Developing a cadre of trained Assessors is a crucial step in strengthening the technical and vocational education and training (TVET) system within Antigua and Barbuda and building capacity to award vocational qualifications in Antigua and Barbuda.

303 To this end, approximately twenty (20) Individuals were trained as assessors with funding from the Government of with funding from the CARICOM –Education for Employment (C-EFE) Programme, sixteen have been certified at Level Four.
3 Air Craft Maintenance The Air Craft Maintenance Programme continues at the Antigua State College.

The acquisition of this course was facilitated by the ABNTA through the C-EFE and is done in collaboration with the College of the North Atlantic Marine Institute.
Graduates from the aircraft maintenance program will require various entrepreneurial skills to be leaders in the aviation industry and to contribute to the overall productivity and team building environment required by most aircraft maintenance organizations.
Critical Issues  Home for National Training Agency  Accreditation to offer CVQs  Certification of the workforce in Antigua and Barbuda 304 Priorities The following table sets out the Ministry’s priorities, strategies to achieve these priorities and expected outcomes for the upcoming financial year.

in Education.

A Workshop held The Evening Programme in the Department of Business continues to grow each and is generally oversubscribed.
Because of the limitation of space only a certain number of students are enrolled each year but there is certainly a demand for this programme.

In 2017, ASC will continue to place priory on empowering lecturers to use a variety of strategies in the delivery of their courses to include the use of technology in education.

Given the emphasis on the use of Technology in Education, support staff must be provided to ensure that the IT lecturers can focus on teaching.
New staff to provide leadership in IT 312 Outputs/Outcomes Priorities Strategies Support and Services throughout the College will be necessary.

To further strengthen the process, Student Services will be enhanced to offer remedial activities to improve success rates and reduce the attrition rate.

In this connection, the ASC Library service needs to be increased.
The current hours are from 8:00 a.m. to 3:00 p.m. With the transfer of the Teacher Education Department to the ABIIT Campus and the range of evening classes and programmes being held, these hours of service are untenable.

During this Budget period, the ASC plant will be given priory in terms of development of the physical infrastructure to Information Technology as well as maintenance and security.

To this end, new positions will be requested to coordinate these activities.
As the College positions itself to become a degree granting institution, the first order of priory in 2017 will be the enactment of the Antigua State College ACT 2013 thereby providing the legal frame work to convert ASC into an autonomous institution with the ability to raise funds for the various initiatives and programmes.

It is envisaged that the new Board will provide policy the Management team.

00 $3,275,644.00 $ 1,278,846.00 $ 322 Social Impact analysis of the Ministry Significant Trends and Issues Economy Slowness and uncertainty in the economy disproportionately impacts children and young people.

Rising unemployment rates for young people can lead to other social problems such as criminal activity.
Social Environment  Social disintegration and apathy  Increased migration; sense of displacement in the indigenous community  Lack of connectedness in communities  Increase in criminal activity, especially related to gun use – unsolved crimes Potential Impact of the Ministry Reduced access to resources to do work within the Ministry.

Some young people may have to leave school early in order to work.

Education generally affected, cycle of poverty continues.
 Young people will be drawing on the resources of the YD more as they face the challenges of the times.
These affect them in a disproportionate way Increased need for resources – organizational and technical  Workers more reluctant to work  outside usual work hours Policies and activities of NGOs, International Agencies, Private Sector    Restructuring of International partners International focus may be different from local needs and may make resources inaccessible Private sector tendency to put monies into initiatives that are flashy and not necessarily developmentally or socially or culturally friendly  International development agencies will push their own agenda; they will also have fewer resources to offer and accounting mechanisms are more stringent.
Further, due to Antigua and Barbuda’s rating as a high income country, funding from international development partners are much reduced  The Ministry will have to strategize as to how to leverage resources from international community as well as from then local business sector.
Effect on the Environment Increasingly, the Ministry is turning to the use of ICTs in doing its work and as well for student learning Government policy and behaviour Tendency for policy makers to think in terms of cost and benefits in the short term; forced by electoral and political expediency to think in terms of and plan in five year cycles Need to develop a policy related to the disposing of old computers, etc.
Ministry may be pressured to pursue high profile programmes that are costly but have little impact in the long term.

This resulted in the moving of Civil Aviation from the Ministry of Tourism, Civil Aviation and Culture Office.

The Civil Aviation component of the Ministry is comprised of: Civil Aviation Headquarters, Air Traffic Control Services, and Meteorological Services.

The Ministry Headquarters do not have direct control over all of the operations of V.C.

Bird International Airport.

The Antigua and Barbuda Airport Authority (ABAA), handles the airport operations.
However, the Ministry serves as the Oversight Department which represents the Government of Antigua and Barbuda.

It also work in close conjunction with the Eastern Caribbean Civil Aviation Authority (ECCAA) which has a regulatory mandate to ensure that things are done according to law.

For example, the issuance of Airline Permits and Licenses).
The Air Traffic Control Services has the task of performing optimally in ensuring accuracy and safety in the air, and also by providing pilots with accurate information around the clock.

The Meteorological Department is accountable for efficiency in disseminating accurate, daily weather forecast to the general public on a twenty four (24) hour basis.
The Ministry of Public Utilities, Civil Aviation and Transportation is a relatively large Ministry and its estimated budget is in excess of seven million dollars (7 ECD mil) million.

- 342 - 1.2 Vision To become the best in delivering public utilities, civil aviation and transportation services to all of our clients.

1.3 Mission To provide quality service to stakeholders who utilize public utilities, civil aviation and transportation throughout our nation.
- 343 - Ministry of Civil Aviation Organizational Chart The following diagram depicts the current organizational chart of the Ministry of Civil Aviation: Minister Permanent Secretary Principal Assistant Secretary Assistant Secretary Executive Officer Senior Clerk Junior Clerk Petty Officer Class III Technical Officers Chief Technical Advisor Oversight Officer Deputy Oversight Officer Liaison Officers Driver - 344 - 1.4 Service Performance Review and Critical Issues The change in Ministry portfolios dictates that this review focuses directly on the Civil Aviation aspect.
From 2013-2016, Civil Aviation did not honor its commitment to pay subventions to the Organizations of International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO), Caribbean Meteorological Organization (CMO), and (CIMA).

This resulted in the loss of voting rights.

However, the Ministry decided to take a different approach in securing funds to honor the outstanding commitment to ICAO and CMO, by seeking Cabinet’s approval.

Cabinet decided that the arrears which accrued over the years should be paid.
Consequently, all vouchers were prepared and sent to the Treasury for payment.

In addition, suppliers were not paid in a timely manner and this resulted in some of the suppliers becoming impatient and discontinued their business with the Ministry, because of the lack of payment.

Some essential equipment at the Air Traffic Control Services and Meteorological Services are in a dilapidated state and needs to be replaced urgently, to ensure safe operations.

Service Performance (Achievements) 1.


Flights took off and landed safely one hundred (100) percent of the time.

2.

The delivery of local, regional and international weather forecasting was carried out effectively and efficiently.

3.

Some maintenance work was carried on the old V.C.

Bird International Airport, while the new V.C.

Bird Terminal is now operational.


Currently, operations are ongoing, but there are some crucial areas that are being revisited, so as to ensure that safety and security of both passengers and workers are optimal.

Issues: 1.

Some Meteorological equipment are outdated 2.

Some Communication equipment at the Air Traffic Services Department are outdated - 345 - 3.
The Simulator has been purchased but the Air Traffic Services has been experiencing severe challenges in securing a suitable space for this equipment.

So far, the area that was air marked for the Simulator is leaking terribly, so the Simulator could not be assembled.

Additionally, Air Traffic Services is in the process of securing finances to furnish the office.

4.

There is no process in place to facilitate timely payment for suppliers.

1.5 Organizational Matters Achievements 1.


Completion of Instructors Examiner’s training.

2.

Employment of AIS Coordinator 3.

ACT Simulator has been purchased in order to schedule recurring training on island 4.

Some Meteorological Officers have begun training as stipulated by ICAO, in order to be compliant with regulatory requirements.

Issues: 1.

Insufficient funds for training, human resource development and equipment.
Summary of capability development strategy The Ministry proposes replacement of the communication equipment and a Radar.

The new AIS Unit has been staffed with eight (8) new employees.

On 1st August, 2015, the new AIS Unit became functional.

However, funds will be needed to train the eight (8) employees and also to furnish the existing office.

1.6 Priorities, Strategies and Indicators The priorities in order are: 1.

Certification of Air Traffic Controllers in Radar 2.

Training of AIS workers 3.


Training of more Meteorological Officers 4.
Urgent need for upgrading modern equipment for both Meteorologist & Air Traffic Controllers - 346 - Strategies Improve skill sets and competencies via ongoing training Indicators Output: Sufficient funding for training Priorities and Strategies 2016-2017: Priorities Priority 1 Training of Administrative Technical Staff in the Ministry of Civil Aviation Priority 2 Creation of at least three (3) new posts Established positions should be filled so that there can be a balance in staffing Priority 3 Certification of Air Traffic Controllers Ensure that International standards are met Outcome: Increased productivity in all tiers of the organization Output: Fair distribution of duties Outcome: More synergy and greater productivity Output: More Air Traffickers will become certified Outcome: Air Traffic Controllers will be certified and accurate operations and safety measures will be bolstered Priority 4 Training of more Meteorological Officers Maintain a pool of competent Meteorological Officers Output: Train Meteorologist in required discipline Outcome: Reduce the shortage of Meteorological Officers - 347 - 1.7 Financial Summary: (a) Summary Expenditure EC$mill Expenditure s 2016 as per financial accounts Budget 2016 Forecasted Expenditure s 2017 Planned Expenditur es 2017 Planned Expenditur es 2018 Planned Expenditure s 2019 Recurrent Expenditures 7,167,917 7,167,91 8,344,234 8,344,23 7 4 Capital Expenditures Total 173,000 309,760 7,477,677 7,342,91 211,300 211,300 8,555,534 8,555,53 7 4 9,044,50 0 250,200 9,294,70 0 9,581,500 275,100 9,856,600 Summary by institution: EC$Mill RECURRENT CAPITAL Ministry Headquarters: Air Traffic Services Meteorological Division: TOTAL: 1,614,480.

Service performance: 1.4 Service Performance Review and Critical Issues 1.4.1 Service Performance The Ministry performed fairly satisfactorily in 2016 with the progression of the rebranding initiative strategy which focused on the restructuring of several departments; namely, the Citizens’ Welfare Division, Departments of Youth and Gender Affairs, and Local Government and Community Development Divisions.
This would require strengthening of the technical capacity within the ministry, and some levels of recruitment for future sustainability.

The successes experienced this year were admirable, in spite of the continuous limited financial and human resources, and the ever growing demand on social assistance programmes specifically, the Board of Guardians and GRACE programmes.
This year saw the launching of a few new social programmes, while some existing ones commenced with redesigning and implementation phases.

The shortfall in the budgetary allocation to the Ministry curtailed some programme developments, however the Ministry had several interventions through external donor funding in 2016 and will continue to do so into 2017, which has been critical to fulfilling its mandates.

376 1.4.2 Critical Issues Issue1.


Streamline services for improved performance and programme impact.

The Ministry attempts in the rebranding efforts provided some challenges and critical issues had to be addressed as to the way forward.

This year commenced with preparatory phased discussions and planning, as many aspects of the implementation process had to be deferred to 2017.
Areas of focus to be reorganized were: a) Citizen’s Welfare Division which becomes Family and Social Services Division b) Directorate of Gender Affairs will merge with Department of Youth Affairs and will form the Youth and Gender Development Division.

c) Community Development Division and Local Government Department are to be merged as the Community and Local Government Development Division to better serve the community.

MINISTRY OVERVIEW 1.1 The Department The Constitution of Antigua and Barbuda Section 66 Part 5 makes provision for the functions, powers and duties of the Ombudsman.

The Ombudsman Act No.

5 of 1994 stipulated that an Ombudsman should investigate, mediate, advise, report findings as well as make recommendations after considering such faults as delays, bias, discrimination, discourtesy, failure to give reasons for action, and harassment.
Thus the motto of the Department is “to Champion the Right of the people and ensure that justice always prevails.” 1.2 Vision To create a high level of awareness within the public and the public sector entities and officers of their rights, respect for their rights and enforcement of those rights so that there is fairness and justice at all times.

464 The tourism industry has evolved into a global phenomenon and is one of the most important economic sectors and social activities of modern time.
Today, it contributes directly to 5% of the world’s GDP, one in twelve jobs globally and is a major export sector for many countries, both in the developing and developed world.

Visitor expenditure on accommodations, food and drink, local transport, entertainment and shopping, is an important pillar of the economies of many destinations, creating much needed employment and opportunities for development.

For more than eighty countries, receipts from international tourism were over US$1 billion in 2010.
Globally, as an export category, tourism ranks fourth after fuels, chemicals and automotive products.

According to the United Nations World Tourism Organization (UNWTO), tourism is one of the main sources of foreign exchange income for many developing countries and the number one export category, creating much needed employment and opportunities for development.
International tourism receipts are estimated to have reached US$919 billion in 2013, up from US$851 billion in the previous year, an increase in absolute terms, of US$68 billion.

According to the Caribbean Tourism Organization (CTO), the Caribbean is the most tourism- dependent region in the world, with few options to develop alternative economic sectors.

The region is home to seven out of ten countries in the world, which are most dependant on tourism.
The Caribbean now has the thirteenth largest tourism industry globally in absolute size.

It is first internationally in relative contribution to national economy; and is 10th globally in its contribution to long-term national growth.

Moreover, it is the biggest employer in the region after the public sector, employing 2.5 million people.

It is also the largest single contributor to Gross Domestic Product (GDP), and was worth US$39.4 billion in 2012.
This was based on an estimated Caribbean travel and tourism demand od US$ 55.4 billion, minus imported goods and services spending, of US$16.0 billion.

The longer-term outlook for Caribbean tourism is encouraging with potential for future growth in the traditional and emerging markets.
Over the last forty years, the tourism industry has grown from strength to strength to become the main foreign exchange earner and the engine of growth in Antigua and Barbuda economy.

However, Antigua and Barbuda, like many countries around the globe, has been negatively impacted by the global financial and economic meltdown and this has reflected in the tourism industry.
Tourism must therefore be stimulated as one of the most feasible ways to sustain the local economy in order to counteract the economic woes currently being experienced by the island.

There are several compelling arguments for the prioritization of the urgent transformation of the sector.
Which include the following:  Tourism is the leading foreign exchange earner and contributes significantly to government revenues;  Tourism is the major contributor to GDP;  Tourism is an intensive and diverse employer supplying jobs in the professional, technical, craft, skilled, unskilled and operational areas;  Tourism plays a major role in urban and rural development through investment; 465  Tourism complements traditional industries and facilitates inter-sectorial linkages;  Tourism distributes its benefits widely and plays a valuable role in national development and income distribution;  Tourism promotes social interactions, peace, tolerance, harmony and cross cultural understanding;  Tourism promotes cultural development at the community and national levels;  Tourism ignites a sense of national pride and respect of culture and heritage;  Tourism develops a country’s image and support all sectors of the economy as well as local communities; and  Tourism brings social benefits to local communities, as facilities and income become available to local citizens and communities.
In spite of the current global challenges, the outlook for the world tourism remains exceptionally strong.

The UNWTO has forecast that the next twenty (20) years will be of continued growth for the sector.

Therefore, this is an area that the Government should continue to prioritise and invest in as a central contributor to the island’s economic success.
To realise the sector’s fullest potential, this, the Ministry will rise to the challenge by implementing a comprehensive strategy, together with the policy and legislative instruments, action plans and enabling investment environment that would support its implementation.
Once the Ministry of Tourism, Economic Development, Investment and Energy is given adequate support by way of budgetary allocation- The ministry will actively plan ahead to ensure that it develops the right type of products, to attract the right kind of visitors, in a way that maximises sustainability.
For too long, the plan have single-mindedly pursued increased tourism numbers without fully understanding either the local economic benefits of different types of tourist, or the true cost of tourism to local cultures and the environment.

Antigua and Barbuda will not just only pursue increased tourist numbers, but maximisation of visitor spend will also become a priority.
In pursuit of that goal, the island will focus more on the types of tourist it needs and matching these to the most suitable areas and communities within the country.

The ministry is of the view that true sustainability must consider not only environment characteristics and impact, but social, cultural and economic dimensions as well.
To successfully achieve these objectives, the ministry plans to conduct a carrying capacity study to assess what number of tourist this nation can comfortably accommodate, whilst minimizing socio –cultural impacts.

Besides un-sustainable tourism development, the lack of attention in the areas of research and development has impacted negatively on the island’s competitiveness and its capacity to reap greater economic benefits and increase market share.
Due to the extremely volatile nature of the global marketplace, it cannot be predicted what the future will bring.

As a consequence, the acquisition of timely, relevant and accurate research and statistics will be critical in maintain and 466 advancing Antigua and Barbuda competitive edge.

Global competition is rife and resources and resources are scarce.
Therefore the ministry will embarked upon a more scientific, strategic, and targeted approach will be taken to ensure that the tourism industry is supplied with the relevant information it requires to support policy, marketing, product development and investment decisions that would ensure that return on investment is achieved.

It is also critically important for the sector to keep abreast of the global trends that will impact the industry.
Timeliness of research will be particularly important to drive urgent decisions making that will support on- going economic recovery and renewed job creation.

In order to differentiate the Antiguan and Barbudan product in a meaningful and realistic way and grow market share, it is imperative that research and analytical thought urgently become one of the most important elements of tourism planning and development.
The ministry will therefore be placing research and development at the centre of tourism planning, management and development going forward, to ensure that competitiveness and profitability of the Antiguan and Barbudan tourism product is sustained.

Additionally, the ministry posits that on-going comprehensive market research and trend analysis will also make the industry more crises – resilient and able to withstand or circumvent any unplanned external shocks that will most likely occur.
In the short to medium term, the island is being and will continue to be confronted with economic crisis situation affecting all of its major source markets simultaneously.

The global nature of the problem means that predicting a recovery for the tourism sector, which has been resilient to past shocks, is more difficult.

Solid research will assist the ministry in planning how to respond to such challenges.
Sound data is also essential for providing tangible evidence of the benefits of tourism to the economy.

The Cabinet of Antigua and Barbuda on the recommendations of Communique International.

Communique International completed a comprehensive analysis of the current position of Antigua & Barbuda in attracting foreign direct investment within the regional setting.

On completion of the study, two sectors with the highest potential to attract foreign investment were identified.
Sectors identified are; the 22nd of October 2014, accepted Information technology-enabled services/Business Process Outsourcing ITES/BPO.

  Diversified Tourism.

The significance of this acceptance is that it can be assumed that the decision to make tourism a perpetual national priority has been accepted by the highest decision making body in Antigua and Barbuda.
Bearing this in mind the Ministry of Tourism, Economic Development, Investment and Energy has identified the aforementioned areas inter alia as priority areas for the next five in the first instance.

This document sets out to provide a road map for the implementation of a number of activities whose purpose is to realize the mission and vision of the Ministry of Tourism.
Additionally, the document draws from the wealth of information that is contained in the numerous studies that have been carried out over the years on the tourism product of Antigua and Barbuda.

Although the information may be considered dated, however, upon a detail study of the documents it was ascertain that much of the issues and gaps that were previously identified currently exist.
Furthermore, upon closer examination of the various recommendations, it was reviled that very little attempts were made in addressing them.

In some instances where efforts were made in 467 addressing the recommendations they were made in in a sub-standard manner or was done in a piece meal and dis-jointed manner.
Evidently, much of the implementation lack a coordinating mechanism to address cross cutting issues which are common to the tourist industry due to the wide range of stakeholders and government agencies that are involved in the various processes.

Perhaps, this was due to weak institutional capacity and a general lack of leadership.
It may be also argued that the poor effort at addressing recommendations were due to the failure of making adequate investment in the tourism product and neglecting to recognize it (1) as a key priority and (2) provide the funding in a timely manner.

Tourism involves various stakeholders in the implementation process, taking this into consideration; the Ministry has identified a number of key objectives that will serve as the base of the planning process.
Fundamentally, the plan is broken down into three thematic areas;  Behavioral – attitudes, service orientation, training and professionalism.

GUIDING THOUGHT – “a vacation is an investment in a memorable experience”” Goal: To create a national culture and attitude in order to convince the visitor that his/her investment dollar was well invested.

Theme: Acculturation and Attitudes  Business Support – Private Sector, Security, Leadership, training, Institutional support and Stakeholders.
Goal: To create an environment of support and guidance through effective policy and planning that will facilitate a value for money product/service.

 Government Procedures and Processes – Customs, Antigua Port Authority and Immigration.

Goal: To create a speedy, hassle free, easy to use and understand government process in order to offer to visitors a user friendly and efficient travel environment.

Combined, these areas will be the impetus that drives Product Development and Marketing.
Essentially, each thematic area is design to addressed an identified gap and combined will create a premiere destination.

The plan will be implemented in three phases short term (18 months) medium term (30 months) and long term (60 months).

This plan must be considered as a living document that is robust enough to adapt and adjust to changes in the international environment.
Whereas, many competing destinations are still in developmental mode it must be recognized that destination Antigua and Barbuda has reached maturity.

The critical question now becomes what is the next step?

TOURISM INDUSTRY OVERVIEW “A CALL FOR ACTION”: The sustainability of the Antiguan and Barbuda tourism product is inextricable linked to the quality of its tourism assets.
However, with a large number of new destinations emerging across the globe, the Antiguan and Barbuda product in contrast, from its hotel plant to its attractions, in many instances, is increasingly considered to be matured and “tired” and in urgent need of 468 rejuvenation.

This proves problematic when catering to the modern day tourist who is well travelled and demands more quality products and services.
Critically, the travel trade, representing both stay over visitors and cruse visitors, has been indicating for years that the hotel product with some exceptions, is generally seen as “dated”, with a pricing structure that is not competitive against other destinations, such as Dominican Republic, Cuba or Jamaica.

They have been cautioning about the need for urgent refreshment of the Antiguan and Barbuda tourism offering as a matter of priority in order for the destination to retain its competitive edge.
A large part of the problem is that marketing of the island tourism product has out-paced the development of the product.

Moreover, relevant research is also not conducted to identify and analyse significant current and future industry trends that will inform the creation of innovative product development initiatives and marketing strategies.
The failure of the industry to embrace technology, innovation and diversification has resulted in a tired, dilapidated assets, a lack of variety of attractions, few organized themed entertainment areas, gaps in the “calendar of events “targeted at filing the low periods, insufficient attention to packaging multiple tourism products together to enhance the collective experience for the visitor, inadequate focus on the development of attractions that would attract the special interest and family niche markets, lack of authentic cultural, historical experiences and the lack of effective use of technology in tourism.
There have also been complaints by visitors about the quality of attractions in terms of poor interpretation.

A reputation for slow and shoddy service delivery has become a Caribbean phenomenon and is seriously eroding the region’s competitive advantage.

Antigua’s service is considered to be generally unsatisfactory when compared to destinations that are becoming more increasingly accessible such as Dubai and the Far East.
In recent times, there has been a growing trend of mediocre customer service being experienced by local and visitors alike across the island, particularly in areas of courteousness, attention to detail and commercial urgency.

Clearly, while some establishments “woo” the client others are simply appalling and err towards the “less than competent “end of the spectrum.

There is a long – standing issue of some workers still having difficulty differentiating between service and servitude.
Additionally, there are also repeated complaints over the years from local, regional and African Americans visitors who patronize tourist establishments, that they receive inferior quality of service when compared to their Caucasian counterparts from North America, Europe or the UK.

POOR SERVICE CAN ALSO BE ATTRIBUTED TO:  The lack of investment made in the continuous training and coaching required to equip tourism workers with the request tools, i.e.
knowledge and skills, they require to perform at world class levels:  Poor employee morale  Lack of operational standards to provide the necessary guidelines to achieve excellence on a consistent basis.

There cannot be service excellence if there is no business excellence; and 469  General breakdown of core values at the national level that has resulted in poor attitudes, unprofessional behaviors and poor work ethic.
These issues have to be dealt with as a matter of urgency through training, education, enlightenment and transformation of the organizational culture across the island.
A national culture of service excellence and quality must be institutionalized in accordance with recognized and well-regulated standard for all service providers throughout the island, from gas station attendants and supermarket cashiers, to “invisible” back of the house kitchen staff and housekeeping services, to front of the house staff, beach vendors, taxi operators, water sports operators and reservationist, etc.
Benefits of good quality from service providers at a national level will eventually filter down to the tourism sector.

Customers are now being more careful than ever where and with whom they spend their money.
Therefore, for the Antiguan tourism industry to survive in this extremely competitive and volatile environment, world class service needs to be provided on a consistent basis, in order to ensure that visitors are receiving exceptional value for money that will result in increased spend, repeat visitation and positive word of mouth endorsements.

Fixing the fundamental flaw of poor and inconsistent service in the tourism industry is therefore a vital component of the island’s sustainability.
The “human factor” is perhaps the most critical component that will determine the future sustainability and competitiveness of the tourism sector.

Therefore, this precious asset must be nurtured, develop and empowered, by ensuring that it is equipped with the tools, knowledge and skills it requires to take the tourism industry to the next level.
While the importance of training is generally realised across the sector, traditionally the training culture in Antigua and Barbuda in the tourism sector has not been very strong in relative to the contribution the industry makes to GDP.

In many instances, many front-line employees- the first and often the most frequent point of contact for visitors- are often not adequately trained or prepared for the job at hand, and this has had an adverse effect on the quality and service of the industry.
There are opportunities available for formal training, at the Associate and Bachelor levels at the ABHTI and by way of UWI.

While a number of employees at the line, supervisory or management levels have benefitted from some of these programs, they are not in the majority.
The in-house training opportunities that exist within the sector, often have small take-up rates as they are conducted in an inconsistent and ad hoc manner resulting in poor transfer of knowledge, as skills are not refreshed on a consistent basis.

Access to Training can be Problematic due to some of the Following:  High financial cost associated with training (viewed as a cost and not as an investment).
 Disruption caused to normal service and production by the absence of employees on training leave; 470  Time pressures and lack of management cover in the business.

 Labour turnover and industry exit rates result in poor returns on training investment; and  Training course usually not fashioned specifically to the needs of the business.
Antigua and Barbudan hotels typically do not have standard operating procedures, therefore, the combination of a lack of rigorous training and relevant management structures, usually results in sub-standard business performance and mediocre service levels.
There is a dearth of mandatory national certification programmes for general front line tourism workers, tour guides or taxi drivers, similar to those in the Bahamas and Jamaica, to ensure that a consistent and superior standard of service is being offered to all visitors.

Bearing this in mind the Ministry will be on a drive to up-grade the ABHTI so as to offer industry workers the opportunity to up-grade, train and re-tool to meet the standards that the visitor expects.
In spite of the aforementioned state of affairs with in the tourism industry, Antigua and Barbuda holds exponential potential for growth.

However, the government and more so, the Ministry of Finance must recognize the urgency of the matter and adequately finance the industry in a timely manner.

The Ministry of Tourism must seriously pay close attention to good governance and recognize tourism is multi-faceted and the need to include all stakeholders in a meaningful manner.
Moreover, the ministry must re-organize and build core competencies in order to play a leadership role.

The Ministry of Tourism must address product quality as it relates to repositioning the current product in alignment with new market trends; identifying and developing new products based on competitive analysis; licencing businesses (tourism) based on a set of standards to maintain a high quality and suitable price.

In addition to its core Telecommunications Regulatory function, the division is responsible for the maintenance of all equipment and associated infrastructure associated with the Public Safety Communications Network (PSCN), including the emergency radio communications network and the E911.

It is anticipated that over the coming months, new Telecommunications law and regulations will be proclaimed to fully liberalize and govern the telecommunications - 514 - sector in Antigua and Barbuda.
The proposed new legislative framework will provide conditions for, among other things: a. an open market for telecommunications services, including conditions for encouraging and enabling fair competition in the telecommunications sector.

c. the establishment of new Telecommunications Regulatory Commission (NTRC) to have oversight of the sector.
The NTRC will be an independent Statutory Authority, funded mainly through the license fees and spectrum fees collected from public Telecommunications network operators and service providers.

It is expected that immediately following the enactment of the new legislation the telecommunications Division, including all its existing staff, will be incorporated into the new NTRC.
 The Connect Antigua and Barbuda Initiative focuses on the empowerment of the Antiguan and Barbudan Communities and Central Government through Information Technology.

 The ICT Cadet Program is a recruitment initiative that targets individuals who have completed secondary school and/or completed their CXC examinations.

It is an exciting opportunity for individuals interested in working in Information Technology related fields to acquire technical skills as well as gain valuable workplace experience.
It is envisaged that the majority of the cadets could proceed onto a path of self- entrepreneurship or pursue higher education at places like the Antigua and Barbuda International Institute of Technology (ABIIT) or the University of the West Indies (UWI).

The ICT Boot Camp will teach the cadets specific skills, tools and technologies over a 6-month period in a zero-distraction environment.

In order to achieve the aforementioned, the department continues to evaluate the manner in which business is conducted with a view to reengineering its day-day operations to bring about a more effective method to meet the various demands.

To this end, the technical support unit now has in place a new proactive model that provides pre-troubleshooting services (virus scans, cleaning, installation of network and software, hardware upgrade) to all government departments.
In addition, the helpdesk answers and supports over sixty (60) calls on a daily basis on all kinds of matters from email issues to specialized systems.

The IT department also develops and maintains various web portals for central government through its Web Development Unit.

The objective of this unit is to provide to the public up-to- date and reliable information built on a user friendly interface about the services offered by the government.
The Web Development unit have completed work on a number of portals/websites to include the new portal, Ministry of Agriculture, and Tenders Board.

The unit continues to maintain every site that it has built from its inception.

The frequency of the update depends on when each department submits its information.

Additionally a number of sites undergo a redesign from time to time.
We have been successful in launching the eService facilitating online driver’s license renewal, implementation on electronic visa applications, in collaboration with CARICOM/Alpha XP launching of the Companies Registry Online and the Land Registry’s Public Access Module.

WE have successfully upgraded Barbuda’s accounting system and upgraded the IT infrastructure in the Library and Archives.
Initial planning has been done with collaboration from the Police in selecting a comprehensive police management system and this should be finalized in 2017.

The department also supports critical infrastructure such as the data centre, applications such as Freebalance, Landfolio, CBN’s Immigration management Systems, the Civil Registry, the High Court Judicial Management System (JEMS), Passport Office Passport System, e911 infrastructure, internet services to Central Government among others.
The department also provide consultation on network infrastructure on new deployments, server configuration, and system administration.

In the specified reporting period we have begun detail work with the High Court and various stakeholders in developing an automated Civil Registry migrating away from the systems we have had in place for the past 5 -6 years.

The ultimate goal will provide a system that accounts for persons from cradle to the grave.

This work will continue in 2017.


We are continuing work with the Labour Department and Caricom in setting up the Labour Management Information System in automating its operations.

Summary of Critical Issues Critical Issues that affects the operations of the IT department include:  Adequate staffing: to date the department needs to hire additional staff with the necessary skills to fill various positions.
This is even more critical as we are under a - 526 - wage freeze and have not been able to fill positions lost in the past years due to a hiring freeze.

 Timely access to funds – this is a matter the department is seriously addressing at this time.

The day to day operations are delayed by weeks and sometime months due to a lack of timely access to funds.
 Limited resources/local supplies – As technology changes, the need to source new supplies is of utmost importance to the overall success of the IT department in carrying out its day-to-day functions efficiently.

These supplies at times are hard to be had on the local market, and additionally, the lack of financial resources does complicate the department ability to fulfil its duties.

 The work load of the department continues to increase.
Each new project that is added becomes a project that we have to support.

This puts pressure on the existing staff and limits the efficiency of the staff  Transport issues also affect the operations of the office.

A number of vehicles are out of service for parts.

Every service trip needs transport from the offices at Coolidge to the various locations within the country.
Strategic Objectives and Priorities Strategically, the Information Technology Centre in its role as the central ICT provider for the government seeks to achieve a number of things over the next couple of years.

The department intends to continue its work that it started in 2016.

The department intends to see a widespread adoption of the services it has already installed.

There will be an upgrade to the E-visa System, expansions will occur public Access module of the Lands management system online.
In conjunction with the passport office we will partner to enable to department to issue security enhanced Electronic Passports.

Additionally, we will partner with the Police to install their Police Management system.

In 2017, we will host an EGovernment Symposium to show case the work that Antigua has done and continues to do in the Egovernment space.
Following closely, it is the intent to begin work on a 311 system to allow citizens to report broken mains, potholes, public health issues online and keep a trail of the response to the report.

A large goal is to streamline each department’s business processes in a manner that allows for rapid integration of technology.
This would involve an interdepartmental partnership that examines each government departments operations, and as the needs are identified, adjustments and provision will be made to streamline the business processes so that the technology becomes a tool to make the department efficient.

Another strategic objective of the IT Centre is to have supporting personnel to address department and national information and communication technology needs.
As the government’s operations become more technology dependent, it becomes very expensive to have the right calibre of persons assigned to each department.

The pool of talent at the IT Centre is best served in this objective of working alongside each government department to meet their needs.

The IT Centre would like as an objective to see that all the necessary supporting technology needed to make the work of Government more efficient.
As such, the department will work alongside the private sector to procure computers, printers and other ancillary equipment to - 527 - improve the efficiency of each government department.

This would also include the necessary servicing and maintenance to keep the equipment operational.

The protection of government data is also a strategic objective to be looked at.
We envision starting a Cyber Security Incident Response team to sensitise the civil service to cyber security matters and then be able to respond to new issues as they arise.

A long term objective that we have continued to work on is the deployment of necessary connectivity to the various government departments to facilitate the work of government.

This remains a crucial aspect hindered by several challenges.
During the ongoing activities, computers, network and security will be funded from capital expenditure in 2017.

We plan for 500 computers to first replace aging systems and secondly to add to the existing fleet of equipment.

Switches are systematically being replaced with managed switches, and new firewalls and authentication servers are also planned for 2017.

Priorities and strategies 2017 The following are a list of objectives that the department intends to achieve within the 2017 budget year.
Annual Objective 2017 Expected Result Performance Indicator Establish EGovenment Expo Distribution of High Speed Internet to all ministry HQ Establishing of a national civil Registry system Showcase work Antigua has done in eGovernment Participation of major stakeholders Create strategic alliances Learn of what other countries in the region is going in eGovernment Participation of all of the Eastern Caribbean IT Ministers and Senior IT Personnel The ministry is partnering with APUA and in 2017 should see most government offices having 5M broadband connectivity via DSL or fiber All Ministry Headquarters should have at least 10M of internet bandwidth by Sept 2017 Establishment of a comprehensive Civil Registry covering all aspects of National IDs system.

Antigua Broadcasting Service Service performance Achievements ABS continues to grow marketing share and has surpassed competitors as the “go to” place for news in Social media.

Viewers are becoming increasingly engaged in ABS Television.

Emphasis is now being placed on the Radio and GIS Division of ABS 1.

2.

Issues ABS now has more than 15,000 followers on Facebook ABS TV now has four (4) live news broadcasts per day.
ABS Radio now has four (4) news broadcasts and two (2) additional news bulletins per day.

ABS has introduced several new locally produced programs on television and has now embarked on strengthening the radio product.

Availability of funding for equipment purchases stymies efforts to improve the technical plant.

There are a number of staff do not have fully functional roles and who do not have the capacity to be re-tooled and transferred to other areas.

Organisational matters Achievements 1.

2.


The hiring of a Consultant in News, Sports and Current Affairs has assisted the department in improving on the quality and quantity of news programs The physical relocation of ABS staff from the GATE Training Facility has resulted in significant improvement in the turn around time for new programs, graphics and promos.

Issues 1.

Government Information Services has not yet begun to fulfil its mandate.
This area of the operations will be given greater attention in the coming fiscal year.

- 529 - 2.

Training opportunities will be provided to staff as there is skill set gaps which will be required to be filled if the organizations goals are to be achieved.

3.

ABS’ equipment is presently out-dated and a new suite of HD equipment and a new radio platform is required in order for ABS to remain competitive.

4.

The existing facilities are not adequate to meet operational needs.
Summary of capability development strategy ABS will seek to hire qualified journalists during the coming physical year as well as persons trained in film/television production.

In addition, new equipment will be required to upgrade the television delivery platform to HD.

Priorities, strategies and indicators The priorities in order are: 1.

Relocation to new premises 2.

Equipment upgrades 3.

Hiring of professionally trained media practitioners 4.
Training/re-tooling of existing staff Telecommunications Division Achievements In addition to its normal licensing activities, during the year 2016, the Division was mainly focused on preparing for the impending new regulatory setup, taking the lead role in the final drafting of the new Telecommunications act and implementing a new Integrated Telecommunications Management System (ITMS).

The ITMS is intended to streamline the operations of the Telecommunications Division and the soon to be created NTRC.
In addition, the Division took a lead role in negotiating a framework agreement with ECTEL and the French Territories of Guadeloupe with the aim of: a) reducing the problem of cross border interference in the land mobile frequency bands; b) optimizing the use of spectrum resource in the border area; and c) strengthening cooperation between administrations in the management of interference issues.
Issues: Over the years, the Division has been somewhat constrained in its ability to perform its core regulatory functions as a result of: 1. lack of the legal authority needed to deal with many of the complex issues related to regulating a modern competitive telecommunications sector.

- 530 - 2. limited resources (skilled staff and technical resources) to carry out its primary mandate under the current Act, which is the management of the countries spectrum resources.
3. the position of Telecommunications Officer being vacant for 3 years (due to delayed enactment of the new legislation) 4.

Insufficient and inconsistent funding to properly maintain key infrastructure related to the emergency communications network and key monitoring equipment.
Organisational matters Capability of the ministry/agency Achievements During 2016, a new position, Technical Services Consultant was created within the Division, responsible for the technical and engineering aspects of telecommunications regulation.
The consultant contracted will initially give priority to: a) assist in the development of the regulatory framework including the drafting of supporting regulations and standards; b) take the lead role in matters relating to spectrum management, licensing, numbering, and the drafting guidelines; and c) the development of a National Spectrum Plan It is intended that this position, subject to confirmation by the Board of Directors of the proposed NTRC, will be transitioned to the lead technical resource within the new organization.
Issues Maintaining staff morale in the present climate of uncertainty pending passage of the act and the setting up of the NTRC remains a major challenge.

Recommended upgrades in staff emoluments made during the year have been delayed due to the impending changes that will be brought about with the passage of the Act.
Another significant challenge is in the maintenance of the emergency communication equipment, including E911 which is now effectively at end of life and in need of urgent replacement/upgrade.

Priorities, strategies and indicators The first objective immediately following the enactment of the new legislation will be setting up the NTRC, including the appointment of the Board of Directors, a Managing Director and key regulatory functions (legal, financial/economic, technical and administrative staff).
It is likely that the newly created NTRC will move to new premises once the necessary approvals and funding can be obtained.
Key deliverables during the first 3 months of the NTRC will be drafting and recommending for promulgation by the Minister the following regulations, in consultation with stakeholders:  Licencing Regulations  Fees Regulations (spectrum and License fees)  Interconnection Regulations  National frequency Spectrum Plan - 531 -  Management of the Universal Fund  Facilities access Regulations The International Telecommunications Union (ITU) has committed to providing technical assistance in the setting up of the NTRC and in drafting of some of these regulations.
Additionally, it is critical that a programme of training be identified and executed for all the key regulatory functions.

The cost of this training has not been including the proposed department budget.

A details budged and work plan will be prepared before the end of the year, in accordance with the new Act.
Finally, the Commission will need to begin a programme of public awareness to sensitise the public generally about the provisions of the new Act, the functions and working of the Commission and the rights afforded them under the new law.

Although it is intended that the newly created organization will be funded from fees collected from licensees, it is unlikely that in the first year of operation the revenues collected will be sufficient to fully cover its costs.
Consequently, the amount included in this year’s recurrent expenditure for the Telecommunications Division will be needed to supplement the funding of the commission during the first 12 months.

3.1 Resources Requirements - None - 535 - ICT Cadet Programme Service performance Achievements 1.
Between March 2016 and March 2017, the ICT Cadet Training Programme will have graduated over 60 individuals with skills in Cisco IT Essentials training, New Media (Photography, Graphic Design, and Photo Journalism) training, and Microsoft Imagine Academy Training 2.
Facilitated the deployment of IT Equipment to various government Agencies and Ministries bringing offices online Issues No issues Organisational matters Capability of the ministry/agency Achievements Successfully engaged with Microsoft to become an official Microsoft Imagine Academy opening the doors to access vast amounts of content for learning in the following areas: a.

Database Fundamentals b. Server Administration c. Introduction to Programming d. HTML5 App development e. And much more….

2.
2.

Each ICT Cadet will be able to achieve certification from Microsoft upon completion of the course content 3.

The ICT Cadet Programme is also an official Cisco Partner and is part of the Networking Academy Programme.

Staff and Cadets have access to all of Cisco’s course material and can pursue certification in IT Essentials, A+, Network+, CCNA and many other courses.

4.
4.

We have built solid relationships with reputable industry companies to send ICT Cadets out on training and internships after completion of the programme.

So much so that, persons are calling and requesting ICT Cadets to assist in various projects.

Issues Equipment such as the Canon Rebel T5i Cameras purchased in 2013, are beginning to age through regular usage wear and tear.
These will need to be replaced in another year in order to adequately fulfil the performance requirements of the ICT Cadets undertaking the New Media segment of the training programme.

1.

The staffing requirement to facilitate the Microsoft Imagine Academy courses is significantly affecting the budgetary requirements.
The current arrangement of an - 536 - Independent Contractor to provide sessional instructor services, severely hampers the financial resources of the division and also provides uncertainty.

A staffing position needs to be developed to ensure the ongoing commitment to the programme, and also effectively utilise the current available funds.

Priorities, strategies and indicators The priorities in order are: 1.
To reduce unemployment in Antigua and Barbuda by: a. providing school leavers and unemployed persons with professional level ICT training; b. providing workplace experiences to assist persons to effectively use their training in a professional environment.

2.

To facilitate economic growth/development by: a. providing an ICT-skilled workforce; b. c. d. reducing unemployment and create different types of jobs.
facilitating the provision of ICT-related services and attract foreign investment; increasing labour productivity; 3.
To build an entrepreneurial culture by partnering with various businesses and stakeholders to enhance training effectiveness and broaden the scope of the ICT Cadets opportunities - 537 - - 538 - ANTIGUA ESTIMATES - 2017 RECURRENT EXPENDITURE BY MINISTRY / PROGRAMME / DETAIL ITEM 95 Information, Broadcasting, Telecommunications and Information Technology BUDGET 2017 8,804,983 ORIGINAL 2016 8,397,481 REVISED 2016 8,887,447 ACTUAL 2015 6,293,956 Public Information and Broadcasting DESCRIPTION CODE 9501 9502 Information Technology 9503 Telecommunications Division TOTAL MINISTRY 95 Information, Broadcasting, Telecommunications and Information Technology 4,932,999 1,243,302 14,981,284 5,051,872 1,143,352 14,592,705 5,051,872 1,190,752 15,130,071 4,669,914 1,320,978 12,284,848 - 539 - ANTIGUA ESTIMATES - 2017 RECURRENT EXPENDITURE BY MINISTRY / PROGRAMME / DETAIL ITEM 95 Information, Broadcasting, Telecommunications and Information Technology BUDGET 2017 ORIGINAL 2016 REVISED 2016 ACTUAL 2015 DESCRIPTION CODE 01 Public Information and Broadcasting 410 Telecommunication and Information Technology 410301 Accounting 30101 Salaries 30201 Salaries 30306 Travelling Allowance 30318 Acting Allowance 410380 Public Broadcasting Services 30201 Salaries 30203 Overtime 30401 Duty Allowance 30405 Entertainment Allowance 30406 Travelling Allowance 30418 Acting Allowance 30421 Personal Allowance 30701 Honorarium 30713 Payment in Lieu of Vacation Leave 30716 Uniform Allowance 30801 Gratuities and Terminal Grants 30802 Compensation and Indemnities 31102 Food, water and refreshments 31301 Books and Periodicals 31307 ID Cards 31601 Office Supplies 31602 Computer Supplies 31605 Repairs and Maintenance of Furniture and Equipment 31902 Spare Parts 33001 Advertising and Promotion Costs 33101 Security Services 33508 Household Sundries 33509 Cleaning Tools and Supplies 33604 Air Freight Expenses 33605 Express Mail Services 33701 Conference and Workshops 33707 Training Costs 62,292 86,496 3,624 3,624 62,292 86,496 32,275 3,624 62,292 100,966
