As such, Her Majesty Queen Elizabeth II is Antigua and Barbuda’s Head of State.

The Governor-General is Her Majesty's representative or viceroy in Antigua and Barbuda and is appointed on the recommendation of the Prime Minister of Antigua and Barbuda.

The Governor- General's formal title includes the phrase "Commander-in-Chief, Antigua and Barbuda Defence Force" but he does not play an active role in military matters.
The most significant role demonstrated in this capacity is the Governor General’s leadership at the annual national military parade marking the anniversary of Independence Day.

The Governor General’s spouse (or vicereine) provides support through leadership in charitable work, designed to assist those in need, to promote national values and to strengthen the bonds of social cohesion.

Support for the charities under Their Excellencies’ patronage may be in the form of technical and financial assistance.
The Governor General’s spouse, H.E Lady Williams provides this leadership responsibility on a complimentary basis in her capacity as the Governor General’s Goodwill Emissary.

Presently, there are thirty-two organizations under Their Excellencies’ patronage.

Antigua and Barbuda’s Head of State is non-partisan and is not involved in the "business" of government, which is the responsibility of the Prime Minister and the Cabinet.
This arrangement is best described by the saying that "while the Sovereign reigns, the Government rules."

The Governor-General is expected to provide stability or act as a symbol of the state or nation.

Government is comprised of a bi-cameral legislature and while the Sovereign and the House of Representatives together, make up the Parliament of Antigua and Barbuda, neither the Governor- General nor the Queen takes an active or initiating role in the executive functions of Government.
By convention the Head of State acts on the advice of Ministers of the Crown, except on rare occasions such as when appointing a Prime Minister after an election.

The Governor General is expected to have regular and confidential meetings with the Honourable Prime Minister on matters of concern to the state.
The Governor-General's role is an important one however includes several functions:  Constitutional o appointing the government after an election o giving Royal Assent to legislation o appointing key public officials, principals of statutory bodies and judges o accepting diplomatic credentials  Social Cohesion (Community leadership) o Promoting a strong sense of national pride in citizens of Antigua and Barbuda o supporting Vice-regal patronages o attending community events o visiting the inhabited islands within the nation of Antigua and Barbuda - 34 -  Ceremonial o Attendance at and/ or presiding over national events o Celebrating excellence through the awards of honours and hosting of investiture ceremonies o conferring honours  Regional and International o representing Antigua and Barbuda at important international ceremonies o undertaking state visits While the Office of the Governor General receives financial and other support from the Government, it is expected to operate as an independent office in accordance with the dictates of the Constitution and the laws of Antigua and Barbuda.
Vision To be the institution which inspires unity among citizens and residents of Antigua and Barbuda, engenders national pride, national stability, good governance and a full appreciation for the positive role of the Office of the Governor General and the Commonwealth in national development.
Mission To provide quality administrative services and to develop a harmonious relationship with stakeholders in order to enable the Governor General to perform the required constitutional, legislative, social and ceremonial responsibilities effectively, efficiently and with excellence.
Service Performance Review and Critical Issues The Office of the Governor General with the support of the Halo Foundation Inc., Founder and President Lady Williams, embarked on a number of initiatives, many of which were successfully implemented with support from public as well as private sector entities.
At the same time, a number of critical issues continued to affect the office, but every effort was made to reduce the negative impacts through creative mechanisms and close collaboration with stakeholders.

Service performance Achievements 1.

The GHRI has achieved internationally acclaimed entry on the World Monuments Fund Watchlist for 2018.

The 2018 World Monuments Watch calls attention to 25 sites, their challenges, opportunities, and the communities that cherish them.

Since 1996, when the biennial Watch was founded with support from American Express, the programme has issued a call to action for 814 sites facing daunting threats or compelling opportunities for protection, conservation, and engagement.
Government House Antigua and Barbuda is the only Caribbean country on the present Watchlist.

The Government House Restoration Initiative also has the distinction of being the first LEED (Leadership in Energy and Environmental Design) registered project in Antigua and Barbuda and the OECS (Organization of Eastern Caribbean States).

LEED is one of the most popular green building certification programmes used worldwide.
Developed by the non-profit U.S. Green Building Council (USGBC) it includes a set of rating systems for the design, construction, operation, and maintenance of green buildings, homes, and neighbourhoods that aims to help building owners and operators be environmentally responsible and use resources efficiently.
Although the project has a conservation focus, the intention is to ensure that while there is a respect for the heritage of the building, the project conforms as much as possible with environmentally sustainable methods that will provide reasonable protection from natural disasters.

Although, the nation of Antigua and Barbuda has achieved political independence for over 35 years, there is a still a need for continued education and awareness of the value which a Head of State brings the nation as a whole.

There continues to be public uncertainty about the historic colonial arrangement as opposed to that which completely placed governance in the hands of the people with the attainment of political independence in 1981.
There is still significant work to be done in increasing awareness of the role of the Head of State and her representative on the national level, through the Governor General, particularly as a symbol representing all citizens and encouraging national unity and social cohesion, regardless of differences which may exist, whether they are related to gender, ability, social, economic or other status.

The Cabinet is the principal instrument of Government’s policy.

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

The originating Ministry is primarily responsible for implementing Cabinet decisions and reporting to Cabinet on the progress of implementation.
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 that the implementation of Cabinet decisions are on-time, within budget and according to Cabinet’s expectations.

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 continued to engage stakeholders playing diverse roles in the policy process, around the structures, processes and tools required for more effective implementation of public policy.

This will be a continuous process.
Going forward, the Secretariat’s Statement of Key Services include:  Secretariat services to Cabinet which involves receiving Circulation Notes, composing the Agenda, inviting officers to attend sittings at the request of Cabinet, preparing the minutes of Cabinet, dispatching Cabinet Decisions  Policy Advisory Services (Principally to Cabinet but also to Government Ministries)  Monitoring and Evaluation of the progress and impact of Cabinet Decisions - 58 - 1.2 Vision, Mission, and Organizational Values 1.2.1.

Key Achievements During FY 2018, the roll out of the Cabinet Dashboard subcomponent of the Policy Reform Project was the major undertaking and there were a number of important outcomes:  A Contract, Terms of Reference and Project Plan have been formally agreed with the vendor and is guiding the implementation of the Dashboard.

This was an outcome identified in the FY 2018 Business Plan  The Dashboard will be deployed onto GoAB’s SharePoint platform in three releases.
The first release is complete and the second is 50% completed.

 Protocol for the scanning of historical Cabinet Decisions – Draft Guidelines and a user interface are available for the digitization of existing Minutes of Sittings of the Cabinet.

This will not only enable easier searching of documentation, but will assist in their preservation as some of the documentation is decaying due to their age.

- 63 -  The Dashboard has generated considerable interest in the Caribbean region.
The Secretariat in conjunction with the Ministry of Information has commenced the process of improving the copyright protection of the Dashboard.

 The Secretariat has also effectively facilitated the execution of the business of Cabinet – This includes holding of 100% of the planned sittings of Cabinet and dispatch of the Decisions within established service standards.

Strategies for FY2019: 1.


Training: In order to reap the full benefit of the implementation of the Dashboard, GoAB employees at various levels will have to be trained.

There are two levels of training.

Firstly, GoAB staff with access to the system with the exception of the Cabinet Secretariat Staff, will be provided with instruction on how to draft, vet and submit Circulation Notes, retrieve Decisions, and search for Decisions and other information.
Secondly, Cabinet Secretariat staff will be trained in the maintenance of the Dashboard.

The Secretariat Team will also be trained on how to generate reports to Cabinet which provide an assessment of the state of implementation of its decisions.

In addition, The Secretariat will continue to partner with the Training Division to stage trainings for the participants of its Senior Manager’s Training programme, as well as other officers.

2.
2.

Improving Monitoring and Reporting inside GoAB: The Cabinet Dashboard is not simply a document management solution.

It provides the ability to track the pace of the implementation of decisions of the Cabinet.

GoAB officers will be asked to input data relating to how Decisions are being implemented.

The Secretariat will conduct continuous quality control of the data.

It is anticipated that this will expedite the pace of implementation and strengthen accountability for results.
However, in order to achieve this, a uniform approach to the input of the data will need to be in place.

The Secretariat will provide training to ensure the input of appropriate, quality data.

3.

Marketing the Cabinet Dashboard: The Dashboard is the property of GoAB.

GoAB intends to earn money from its design effort through marketing the tool and offering licenses for other users.

The Secretariat will work with the Ministry of Information to identify Forums where the product can be displayed.

4.
4.

Post Intervention Report: A Report detailing the lessons learned from the implementation of the Cabinet Dashboard will be completed.

The Dashboard project is one of the most important business transformation projects underpinned by the use of IT.

GoAB plans to undertake a number of other such projects.

Consequently, it is important that these lessons be applied to those subsequent projects so that they can be implemented with even greater efficiency.

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.
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.
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  Ensuring that decisions made by the Commission are keeping with the laws of Antigua and Barbuda.

 Ensuring that the Annual Reports are generated in a timely manner.

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.

- 101 - 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.
- 102 - 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/DMAS2 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 Bank3, 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.

- 106 - • 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.

- 107 - 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.

- 108 - 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.
- 109 - 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.
- 110 - 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$3,094.78m4.

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 4 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 - 111 - 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.
- 114 - 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 assumptions5, which underlie the 2015-2020 MTDS projections, are shown in table 1 below.

Table 1: Pricing Assumptions 5 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.
- 115 - - 116 - 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 - 117 - 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 T-bills.
- 118 - 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 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.

- 119 - 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.

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 - 120 - 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 - 121 - Figure 4: Interest Payments to GDP as at end 2020 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)6.

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 - 122 - 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.

- 123 - 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 - 131 - which the minimum requirements are not met indicate areas in which reform and/or capacity building would be most beneficial.

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.

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 One of the main tasks undertaken during the first quarter of 2017 was the recruitment and training of persons to fill vacant positions of Registration Clerks occasioned by the retirement of some Registration Officers.
The training programme focused on aspects of the Representation of the People (Amendment) Act Nos.

17 of 2001 and 11 of 2002 pertaining to eligibility for registration.

Focus was also placed on professionalism in the workplace as well as emphasis on customer service excellence.

Part of the training also included the purpose and function of the Secure Identification Card and Electoral Management System (SIDEMS).
As mandated by law, continuous registration is carried out from the centralized location at the Peace Corps Building on Factory Road.

There are three (3) Registration Units based - 136 - permanently at the centralized location.

The other thirteen (13) Units conduct registration on two (2) days weekly.
1.5 Summary of Critical Issues The Commission is presently working on a project to procure 40 ft. containers to be placed in several Constituencies and used as permanent Registration Units in those Constituencies where buildings are unavailable.

This project would free up much needed space at the Central Registration Unit.
1.6 Strategic Objectives and Priorities The key priorities for the Commission for 2018 will be de-centralization of registration on a phased basis so as to enable eligible voters to register in their communities rather than at the centralized location.

All efforts will be centered on prioritizing the procurement of the containers or other structures as necessary.

In addition, plans will be advanced for general elections constitutionally due in 2019.
To this end, the website which was launched in April 2017 will be updated on a continuous basis.

The website and the Facebook page will be used in our voter education programme.

ABEC will continue to provide its employees with opportunities for training courses offered under the auspices of the Training Division, together with others which may be provided internationally whenever such opportunities arise.

Employment of new personnel in ABDF and ONDCP.


Increase in employment in both organizations; however, recruitment numbers have been low for the ABDF.

However, efforts are now being made to improve recruitment.

Staff retention within the ONDCP continues to be a challenge.

ABDF Roles and Functions As mandated under the Defence Act, 2006, the roles and functions of the ABDF are as follows:  Defence of our twin island nation from external and internal aggression;  Assistance to the civil authority in the maintenance of law and order;  Provide assistance to the civil authorities in times of disasters;  Maritime safety, security, and law enforcement;  Provide support to the Regional Security System (RSS) by providing security and disaster relief assistance to member states in times of crisis; and  Any other duties that may be ordered by the Governor General, Commander in Chief.
1.5.

Service Performance Review and Critical Issues Service Performance Achievements The ABDF Land Forces (1ABR and SSB) provide substantial assistance to the civil authorities on a daily basis.

Over the past few years, the ABDF has worked closely with the Police and ONDCP in TASK Forces to address various national security matters especially as it relates to crime prevention initiatives.
It has also provided static and mobile security at a number of key government and private establishments such as the Prime Minister Office, Government House, and the residence of various government officials.

The Land Forces are also tasked to respond as necessary to various domestic and regional emergencies that may occur from time to time.
The ABDF Supported the Government of St Kitts and Nevis during the hosting of Ex Trade Wind 2018 by augmenting the STKNDF The Coast Guard as a maritime Unit is tasked with the responsibility of policing the waters of Antigua and Barbuda and responding to various emergencies at sea that may adversely impact life and property.

Therefore, its broad areas of responsibilities are maritime safety, security, and law enforcement.
These duties primarily entail routine patrols, Search and Rescue (SAR), counter narcotic trafficking, counter smuggling, Fisheries protection and enforcement, and vessels inspections.

Note below some activities for the period Jan- Aug 18 SAR 23 Boarding 40 Special Missions 55 Joint Ops 24 Fisheries Ops 9 Issues The following are considered to be the ABDF’s critical challenges: Inadequate funding to meet Administration and Operational needs.
This impacts on  Insufficient manpower: The Force is currently operating 37% below is authorized strength of 350 persons.

This situation has resulted in the men having to work long hours.

In some cases, individuals are required to work three full days or more - 154 - without receiving a day-off.

As a result, family life is negatively impacted and such situation is affecting the morale of the troops.
 Insufficient uniform and equipment: The ABDF is a professional and specialized organization that is expected to be appropriately attired and equipped to adequately carryout its duties and responsibilities.

Unfortunately, the US Government has withdrawn its assistance in supplying the ABDF with Uniform items and certain type of equipment a few years ago.

As a result, the ABDF is unable to appropriately provide the requisite uniform items, and protective and safety gear to its personnel.
 Infrastructure: The ABDF currently has five bases which are located at Camp Blizard, Crabbs Peninsula, Former US Air station (Training Unit), Deepwater Harbour (Coast Guard Base), and English Harbour (Coast Guard Station).

Each base has a number of serious maintenance issues that poses a risk to the health and safety to the users.
There are various plumbing, electrical, ventilation, construction, and refurbishment issues that need to be urgently addressed in order to bring some reasonable comfort to the men.

The pictures below give some indication of the extent to the situation.
Picture 1: Male Barracks Picture 2: Male Barracks - 155 - Picture 3: Termite infected buildings Picture 4: Termite infected buildings Picture 5: Boathouse Picture 6: Boathouse roof  Unserviceable Coast Guard vessels: The Coast Guard currently has five patrol vessels but only two is working.

The vessels that are out of service are badly in need of major repairs and refit in order for them to be available once again for the coast guard’s operations.
Two of the vessels that are in need to major repairs are shown below.

These vessels are the larger platforms of the Coast Guard.

When serviceable, these vessels provides the flexibility to the Coast Guard to have a greater presence at sea, support Barbuda missions, and render towing assistance to vessels that end up in distress from time to time.

Therefore, the situation has significantly reduced the Coast Guard’s capacity to adequately perform its duties.

The potential recruiting of fifty (50) Reserve personnel to support and augment the It is noted that the Military received $17,822,046 for its fiscal year 2018.

The estimate is $18,465,159.50.


Our budget estimate to carry out the functions of the ABDF for fiscal year 2019 is appx 20,000,000.00 • The potential hiring of Sixty (60) new recruits because the Force has not being able to increase its strength for the past three years and attrition continues to increase at a rate of about 1.7% per year; • strength of the Regular Element; • three years.

To compound the situation, Microsoft Office has discontinued its support for XP operating systems and many of these computers are in this bracket.

It is estimated that the ABDF requires approximately 57 desktops, 5 laptops and 10 tablets to meet its IT demands.

The Force has not received a resupply of furniture for the past 20 years.

Therefore, many of the items are badly worn and in a state of disrepair.
To compound the situation, as the Force grows, the demand for these items will also naturally increase.

Currently the ABDF is spending a lot of money for the service of a sewage truck to haul and transfer sewage within the confines of Camp Blizzard.

This service is costing the ABDF approximately $15,000.00 per month.

Therefore, is paramount in order to eliminate the need to hire a sewage truck.
This project is to establish an intranet by linking several military buildings back to headquarters and incorporating the Coast Guard Base and Crabbs Training Area (CTA).

Through this network, the military will be able to improve communication efficiency though a relatively secure medium.

Further, this project should realise savings under the ABDF stationary account since the use of paper and printer ink will be diminished.

This initiative is intended to provide an avenue for sustainable growth of SMEs in Antigua and Barbuda.

The store front will not only cater to hotel tourist and cruise ship passengers but to locals who may wish to share with visiting friends and relatives an Authentic Antiguan and Barbudan experience in the form of locally produced items.
A Significant number of local entrepreneurs are involved in this sector, particularly women, it is a fact that quality products are being produced, however technical and financial assistance is required to further improve the products.

The Ministry sees the purchase of these items as a form of indirect export of high-quality goods that might eventually find themselves on Supermarket shelves, Airport Shops and Hotel gift shops across the world.
It is the intention that by featuring authentic products it will improve the quality of offerings to our tourism product.

Once they agree to the terms of supplying and goods meet the required criteria, he or she will be asked to provide a specific quantity.

If the supplier wishes to replenish stock, this should be approved by the vetting officer especially with Non- Agro Processed Items.

VISION To be a vibrant organization guided by best practices and world standards fostering innovation, respect for the environment, standards of efficiency and the application of appropriate science and technology to deliver effective services and well planned physical developments.
MISSION The Ministry of Housing, Lands & Urban Renewal (MHLUR) will be the engine of advancement for its divisions and stakeholders through 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.
SERVICE PERFORMANCE REVIEW AND CRITICAL ISSUES MAJOR ACHIEVEMENTS LANDS DIVISION The development of the POLICY FOR THE USE AND ALLOCATION OF CROWN LANDS was initiated in September of 2017 on the instruction of the then Minister of Agriculture and upon completion will harmonize the systematic and scientific use and allocation of all Crown lands for sustainable development.

It is expected to be completed by the MHLUR by 2020 and will provide a roadmap for the future development of the island.
The Lands Division finally commenced the digital scheduling and tracking of its cases.

Full digitization and comprehensive online interaction will be achieved over a few years and the various databases will be regularly updated.

The priority cases include leases, licenses and Crown land parcels designation.

During 2018, the Lands Division did achieve a better levels of success than 2017.
However, only a total of approximately thirty-five (35) allocation letters and fifty-four (54) transfers were completed.

Additionally, approximately twenty-seven (27) licenses were issued for the use of Crown lands for various purposes and approximately three (3) leases executed.

The division was unable to clear identified lands and put the necessary infrastructure in place, thereby postponing the initiation and completion of numerous subdivision developments.
However, a total of eleven (11) areas were earmarked, designed and submitted for subdivision development within 2018 and a special arrangement put in place with sister agencies to assist in the development of the areas; the fruits of that arrangement should be realized in 2019 when the division will be able to allocate parcels with the necessary infrastructure partially installed.
To enhance the efficiency of the division, the design and integration of a fully functional web- based Management Information System was planned; however, the division was only able to acquire a few pieces of computer hardware, the list of achievements are tabulated.

Expansion of housing project at North Sound which as of November 2018 shows that CHAPA’s housing solutions are in demand nationally.
Figure 8: Models available – CHAPA - 232 - MAJOR CRITICAL ISSUES The sector faced some significant challenges in 2018 as follows and unfortunately many of these issues are still to be addressed in the upcoming year, 2019.

 High cost of critical inputs to land development, infrastructure development.

 A new headquarters to accommodate at least 3 of the Ministry’s divisions is required.
 Poor state of infrastructure, buildings, and plants which restrict the Ministry’s capacity to deliver a high quality of service consistently to the stakeholder public.

 Severely diminished and restricted budgetary allocations not only for local activities but also to meet financial commitments to various regional and international institutions.
Inadequate finance also restricts the quality of National representation at overseas conferences, workshops and meetings pertaining to key international conventions to which we are a signatory.

Inadequate allocation of fuel to vehicles designated to do field visits and monitoring of development activity island-wide.

 Inadequate coping and mitigation measures for climate change and natural disasters.
 Electronic devices and internet services are insufficient to manage data collection, storage   and dissemination.

Insufficient human resources.

Need for collections arm to be established, additional surveyors, draughtsmen and technicians physical planners, project managers, legal officers, engineers.

Some persons in the agencies/divisions can be promoted while others will have to be recruited.
FINANCIAL SUMMARY The Ministry will see a substantial reduction in allocations as it is a newly created ministry and is quite small in comparison to some of the other more established and traditional ministries.

Never-the-less an increase in capital and recurrent revenue (increased sales of lands and house sales) will cushion the reduction and make the ministry viable after its first operation year.
As in other ministries, there is an increasing percentage of allocations going towards the payment of emoluments with very little left for inputs and work programme activities.

The importance of proper and planned land development 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 sister ministries in an effort to procure additional resources to realize some of the targets for 2019/2020.
Emphasis will be placed on reactivating the long dormant “Land for Youth” programme, new subdivision developments, slum upgrading (Booby Alley being the first of many to come), economical and affordable housing solutions, grant funding and soft loans procurement.

Additionally, the Ministry will actively seek to exploit synergies to be derived by sectors.

• Provision of aspects of direct in-country management of funds earmarked by development partners for specific lines of action at the farm and field levels • Facilitation of periodic payment of government contributions in fulfilment of government’s commitment to regional and international institutions as well global treaties.
• Timely preparation of vouchers and other documentation pertaining to staff salaries, wages and other components of respective remuneration packages, • Sourcing, purchasing, and internal distribution of expendable items in alignment with funds approved under specific Departmental Heads and Subheads within the Budget • Preparation of financial reports and budgetary instruments.
• Facilitation of the issuance of import licences for fresh vegetables in consultation with the Extension Division and in collaboration with the Ministry of Trade.

The Registry is responsible receiving, recording (filing), routing all correspondence and as such is a major part of the institutional memory.
Human Resource matters and the updating of Personal Files are also a function of this Unit The Statistics, Research and Information Technology (IT) Unit is a new section in the Ministry of Agriculture Headquarters.
This Unit/Section was initiated due to insufficient planning, absence of agriculture policies especially in relation tyo land tenure, water for agriculture national food security system as well as inadequate research and development work has been identified as key factors hindering the achievement of food and nutrition security in Antigua and Barbuda.

These impediments can be reduce particularly through research and analytical modules and by exploiting qualitative and quantitative data.
As such, accurate a complete information is integral to guide the formulation and implementation, monitoring and assessing of the Ministry,s policy and overall effectiveness.

Both qualitative and quantitative information are vital for ensuring that policy measures are targeted, efficient and cost effective.

Threrfore, a strong science-based approach is an essential prerequisite for the sustained development and transformation of the agricultural sector in Antigua and Barbuda.
Hence, the development of the Statistics, Research and Information Technology.

As such, the PS is in a position to receive timely Technical updates and reports as well as to provide key administrative oversight, guidance, endorsement and approval when necessary.
A crucial element of the Ministry’s portfolio is the fostering and maintenance of relationships - 272 - with funding agencies, development partners, allied Boards of Governors and other institutions at the national, regional, and international levels.

Additionally, public relations, press briefings and dissemination of information in general are essential to the management of the affairs of the MAFBA.

These matters form the substance of the Liaison and Communications Unit.
Investors in the agricultural sector as well as key local and regional producers require technical assistance in developing business plans and project proposals for submission to funding sources.

Additionally, the offices of the Minister, the Permanent Secretary as well as Technicians from time to time require technological and advisory support.
The Ministry facilitates these services through its Technical and Advisory Unit in close collaboration with the Statistics, Research and Information Technology Unit.

A number of maintenance services, grounds, buildings, offices as well as security is provided by HQ.

Issues Some of the problems the Division experienced in achieving its objectives in 2018 were, • High infestation of Pink Boll (Pectinophora gossypiella) worm due to the proliferation of wild cotton across the island • Accessibility to the necessary resources (inputs, tractor services etc.)
on a timely basis • High Infestation of the Giant African Snail (Lissachatina fulica) in the fields • Lack of potable water • Continued Mono-cropping resulted in the poor performance of cotton crop, reduction in plant height and flowering/boll formation • Lack of seed storage, testing and conditioning facility • Lack of capacity building in biotechnology, conservation of Plant Genetic Resources and modern research methodologies • Unfavourable rainfall conditions affected some mechanical field operations.
- 274 - FISHERIES DEPARTMENT: The Fisheries Division’s mandate is to develop and manage the fisheries of Antigua and Barbuda and matters incidental thereto.
The goal of the Fisheries Division is to “promote the sustainable development and responsible management of fisheries and aquaculture activities in Antigua and Barbuda waters and in the territory of Antigua and Barbuda so as to ensure the optimum utilization of the fisheries resources for the benefit of Antigua and Barbuda and to ensure the conservation of the fish resources and the ecosystems to which they belong.” (Fisheries Act 2006) The area for management includes internal, archipelagic, territorial and exclusive economic zone up to 200 miles where it exists.
The species to be managed include all aquatic animals, including mammals, shellfish, turtles, mollusk, crustaceans, coral sponge, echinoderms, flora and fauna in the marine and terrestrial environment.

Critical Issues: ➢ Getting the Barbuda Fisheries Complex is critical to the Barbuda economy.

The building was not significantly damaged, however it is being used as the operational hub.

➢ Funding and financing.

Access to government funds is difficult or unavailable.
However, most of the projects completed were done with the assistance of external funding, especially from the Japanese.

➢ Technical capacity.

Staff shortage to carry out the work effectively is a critical issue.

➢ Revenue generation has improved greatly with the enactment of the legislation.

However there are still areas where revenue still has to be collected.

These include but are not limited to: ➢ NEMMA marine park fees.

Regulations are being drafted to set fees.


➢ Not being able to access funds (from the Treasury) on a timely basis to maintain the refrigeration and other equipment at the complexes.

➢ Inadequate vehicle to assist with the inspection and licensing of fishing vessels: (even with the addition of another vehicle).

➢ Difficulties in collecting outstanding fees from users of the complexes.

➢ Inadequate transportation for field work and the limitation of five gallon of fuel per week.
Limited enforcement capability.

Foreign illegal fishing, especially by the French, continues unabated.

It is estimated that as minimal some EC$2.5 Million worth of fish is taken from our waters each year.

Very few persons are caught due to our lack of enforcement capability.
- 275 - Veterinary and Animal Husbandry Division ACHIEVEMENTS 1) GOOD AGRICULTURAL PRACTICES (GAPS) WORKSHOPS- for all the farmers in all of the Parishes to assist in encouraging more organized and efficient record keeping and better livestock production.

This is an ongoing process.

2) Continued registration of farmers.

3) Veterinary Inspections of imports and exports of live animals 4) Veterinary Inspections of containers of meat and meat bi-products.
5) Paynters - impounding of livestock, making hay, pole digging and fencing, transportation of livestock to the abattoir and elsewhere.

The station also dubs as the ministry of agriculture’s tractor pool.

6) Farm visits- consulting with livestock farmers and guiding them in animal husbandry and production practices.

CRITICAL ISSUES 1) Legislation: a. Livestock registration and control Act(draft)-working on getting the draft completed, this would assist in the control of stray and/or roaming animals.

b.
b.

Animal (International Movement and Disease Prevention) Act (Draft) - working on getting it passed with the Ministry of Justice and Legal Affairs.

This is essential to meet our WTO requirements for trade.

c. Animal Welfare: Work with FAO to get the template of the Act used throughout the region as created by the OIE.
2) Help strengthen the farmer’s organizations- educate farmers by providing workshops- improve linkages of these operators with the suppliers and processors to help develop a strong agricultural sector.

3) Control of Roaming and Stray animals- need to establish an Animal Control Unit-to impound and transport roaming and /or stray animals.

This in turn will provide safe roads, prevent desertification, hence improve the beauty of the country.

Also will reduce the spread of disease.


4) Food Safety- ensures Good Agricultural Practices are being followed.

Provide safe and wholesome meat and meat by products for the consumers, both locally and imported.

5) Reduce food import bill.

New agricultural enhancement program to reduce poultry meat import by at least 10% each year.

6) Land rental collection – dedicated person to collect rental fees 7) Meat Market - dedicated person to collect stall rental fees from the butchers.
8) Safe Work Environment – all buildings of the VLD and its units must meet the minimum standards of safety in the workplace.

9) Hiring of Technical Staff: At the present, the VLD is in dire need of Veterinary Officers and Animal Health Assistants.

At present, the VLD is so short staffed that it cannot effectively complete all of its important functions.
10) Signing of Petty Contracts: This is essential to allow for the maintenance of equipment - 276 - and machinery that are needed to be in operation all the time.

When these items stop working, the government ends up losing a lot of money in compensation payments.

1.6 ORGANISATIONAL MATTERS ACHIEVEMENTS EQUIPMENT- Two (2) tractors and One (1) Escavator have been acquired to assist with the daily operation of Paynters and the Agricultural Extension Division with the digging of ponds and dams.
The help of the Chinese has assist us in our quest for food security.

Some staff members has acquired agriculture techniques in livestock and farming in China that the Chinese Government has offered to out technicians.

Station.

ISSUES 1) ABATTOIR- Secretary needed to input data, answer telephone calls to ensure efficient operation of the abattoir.
A complete refurbishment of abattoir is necessary or the construction of a new facility as this is of primary importance due to a public health and animal welfare concern, as this affects the whole country.

2) MEAT MARKET- Manager required to run the meat market and collect stall rental fees in a timely manner and to ensure proper operation of the market as this is a public health concern.

Fencing of the meat market is required to help keep it secure.
3) PAYNTERS- Internet access is necessary to input data and send the statistics to the VLD for the monthly reports, which in turn generates revenue.

Specific equipment is needed for the efficient day to day running of Paynters Livestock Station.

The paynters livestock station is also used as the ministry of agriculture’s tractor pool.

Due to the lack of rainfall production has decreased significantly.in 2018.

The organization continued to participate in national and international activities that showcased local production and the utilization of food.

Some activities continued to promote sweet potato and cassava bread making.

Consequently every major activity of the Ministry of Agriculture featured these products..
Agricultural enterprise on Antigua and Barbuda has diversified and now includes beekeeping, aquaponics, backyard gardening, agro-processing, agri-tourism and school garden programme.

The number of people showing interest in beekeeping has increased by 15% in the period 2010 – 2015; meanwhile there have been a corresponding 25% increase in hives or colonies.

During 2017 the Agricultural Extension Services Division played a major role in revitalizing the Beekeepers Association.
This activity is still ongoing.

An Antiguan bee keeping enterprise was featured in LIAT’s Islander Magazine.

Canadian Beekeepers also housed and trained a number of beekeepers from Antigua and Barbuda.

Aquaponics production increased over 500% prompting the support of FAO and the development of a strategy for the inclusion of school based educational and skills development training in this field.

Over 1500 breadfruit plants were distributed to farmers and householders.
These are expected to come into production by the year 2022.

In the meantime the production of cassava and sweet potato continues to be emphasized as the main commodities for processing during 2018.

The emphasis on these food crops is to contribute to the food and nutrition security while allowing families opportunities to increase production.

In the first quarter 2018, their was an increased in ochre and cucumber production.
The backyard garden production is extremely diversified even involving religious groups.

The thrust toward value –chain analysis resulted in an increasing number of agro-processors as well as consolidation within this group.

The regional launch of the root crop development programme will require increased focus on in vitro propagation.

Additionally, CAFAN programme on repositioning agricultural entrepreneurs to facilitate export development will also make demands on the extension agents.
Moreover, both the USAID and Team Fresh Produce covered technology production project are expected to place a heavy demand on their energies and time.

There is need also to be cognizant of the demand that will be placed on the Agricultural Extension Services Division by the activities associated with Food and Nutrition Security Programme of Antigua and Barbuda.
Equipment Pool With regards to tractor services the unit was only able to prepare over ten (10) acres of land despite not having access to an efficient plough.

Only Thirty (30) acres of land were brush cut, mostly on government agricultural stations and other public facilities due to problems with ceils on the brush cutter.

Operators were hard pressed to keep the equipment functional.

Despite that - 278 - crop production increased during 2017 over 2016 as shown in the following table.
The production of ginger for 2018 didn’t produced the expected yield due to the prolong drought in the nation.

Ginger was harvested in 2018 and planting materials were gathered for 2019 which will decrease the need to import planting materials for ginger.

Producers were issued planting material and are receiving technical support from the field officers.

Materials from this will become available during the first quarter of 2018.
Another important aspect of this developmental thrust is the value chain programme with emphasis on sweet potato and cassava.

During 2018 several bakers and agro processors received training in the use of these products in baking.

This program continued to include bakers in the supermarkets which will form a significant part of the activities in 2019 contributing to the nation’s food security.
The Divisions continued its activities in aquaponics in schools such as Princess Margaret and St. Mary’s School of Excellence.

Due to the level of development of aquaculture enterprises, Antigua and Barbuda was selected to train other OECS nationals in the aquaponics for livelihood programs.

An aspect of the aquaculture program is continuing hands on training and mentorship for entrepreneurs in this sector.
Several entrepreneurs were selected for training to aid in the re-engineering of their agricultural enterprise.

Among them were sixty producers, the majority being women and youths, were selected for increasing ginger production from five to fifteen acres over a three-year period.

Another aspect of this development program with emphasis on sweet potato and cassava.

These commodities will be used in enhancing the food sovereignty thrust of Antigua and Barbuda.
The Ministry of Agriculture is still continuing with its quest to target the reduction of the use of flour derived from wheat and corn and substituting them for products of cassava and sweet potato.

The initial goal is to replace ten (10) percent of the flour this would require the production of over one hundred and twenty (120) acres of those crops annually.

In addition, sweet potato and cassava chips and fries are expected to be alternative to similar products from white potato.
Sweet potato and cassava are also expected to be used in the animal production initiative as feed for animals, mainly pigs.

It is envisaged that agricultural production will increase through these activities.

Consequently, the Division will continue its program of training and mentorship while facilitating enterprise development through government supporting programs.
Agriculture Extension Division Achievements Having completed the training in the construction of bio-digesters and water tanks the Agricultural Extension Services Division is well positioned to assist pig producers in developing more sanitary production facilities.

Bio digesters will be used in the development of energy efficient units through the utilization of the gaseous by product in electrification and food preparation.
Furthermore, the peels and other waste generated by processing of sweet potato and cassava are expected to be utilized in developing feed for pigs.

This technology has been successfully developed and utilized in Cuba.

One hundred (100) small scale farmers will receive support.

Twenty (20) farmers have been selected from each district and are presently undergoing training in various workshops.

Additional training will be given in the production of specific commodities.
This thrust is - 279 - expected to boost production and result in increasing farm income by 20-30%.

Emphasis will be on commodities such as sweet potato, cassava, ginger and coconut.

These commodities are selected because of their economic potential.

Work will also continue on beekeeping and aquaponics along with poultry and pigs.

Staff Development The Agricultural Extension Services Division is endowed with a staff of experience and they are constantly receiving cutting edge training.
An Agro-Industry Extension Officer is in the process of being created to work along with agro processors to increase the volume of value-added products.

The officer will also be responsible for the marketing of these products.

Based on the past achievements it is clear that the Division capacity to accomplish goals will be enhanced by these developments.

It is even more important that there is an efficient supporting mechanism.
Improving client satisfaction levels through customer service is a goal set for the organization during 2019.

This is in keeping with the regional thrust of improving the professionalism of providers of Extension Services.

The undertaking will involve the participation of officers in national, regional and international forum to learn of successful extension project being implemented around the world.
They will also be given the opportunity to learn of latest research as well as participate in research projects.

Through this facility officers will also be able to network with follow extension professionals.

Measuring officer’s performance by using the various criteria for selecting an officer of excellence will ultimately result in more focus programs impacting on agri-preneurs.
Criteria such as knowledge, skill, leadership, reliability, work habits and time management will undoubtedly influence the performance of officers seeking to meet the criteria.

This program will be particularly useful in ensuring the successful implementation of planned activities while contributing to improving the professionalism among the staff.

Critical Issues Priorities, Strategies and Indicators The decline in the production of coconut continued as palms succumb to the disease.
Observations continue to be made of the tolerance and yield of various types.

Coconut farmers have experienced a decline in their income level.

In conjunction with the Agricultural Stations an effort would be made to propagate coconut palms.

Sweet potato and cassava will be used in enhancing the food sovereignty thrust of Antigua and Barbuda.

One avenue will target the reduction of the use of flour derived from wheat and corn and substituting them for products of cassava and sweet potato.
The initial goal is to replace ten (10) percent of the flour this would require the production of over one hundred and twenty (120) acres of sweet potato and cassava crop annually.

In addition, sweet potato and cassava chips and fries are expected to be alternative to similar products from white potato.

Sweet potato and cassava are also expected to be used in the animal production initiative as feed for animals, mainly pigs.

It is envisaged that production of the crops will increase through 2019.
Consequently, the Division will continue to focus on this program to ensure the complete implementation of the value chain development initiative.

Tractor Equipment Pool In 2009 the Ministry of Agriculture set up a tractor equipment pool to address the limitations to land preparation.

While the services of ploughing and brush cutting were more readily available - 280 - the issue of land clearing, pond clearing, and pond and dam construction remained as major constraint.
The wear and tear on the tractors and equipment is now resulting in more frequent breakdown and necessitate repairs.

Ultimately this resulted in the unavailability of some equipment.

Consequently, there is a need for purchasing two (2) ploughs – 4 disc and a mold disc.

Additionally equipment would be required to support the cassava and sweet potato expansion program.

Other equipment that are necessary are one (1) rotator, one (1) rake, One (1) sweet potato harvester.
Funds would also need to be allocated to allow for the purchase of spare parts.

(Page 2 Equipment Pool and Road Maintenance) Repair to the farm road in Burkes continue to be a critical issue since the tenders board have not informed the Division of the person selected to undertake the project.

Maintaining the farm roads in good condition is a serious challenge especially during periods of heavy rain.

Some Issues related to human resources with the organization were addressed in 2017.
Still to be addressed is the creation and appointment of the Commodity Development Officer.

This individual has been identified.

Also, there is one person who were not promoted for more than twenty five (25) years due to a lack of position.

With the upgrade some of personnel the opportunity exist to rectify the anomalies.

Furthermore Cabinet agreed to equip the field officers with devices for communication and data collection.

Presently officers are using their private equipment.
Moreover, most field officers use their personal vehicles to visit the various farming districts.

Roads are generally in a state of disrepair, hence the cost of maintaining the vehicles are high even so the payment of mileage allowance are untimely logging behind by upwards of 150 days.

This is creating undue hardship on the field staff.

A related issue is the place of work that have fallen into an untenable state of disrepair.
Air conditioning have broken down, many times, there is no running water, electrical surge damaged the equipment, the roof leaks whenever it rains, several glass windows are broken and the telephones are not working.

All of these issues relating to the work place result in demoralizing the staff.

Consequently, this resulted in staff dislocation to the MAFBA Headquarters which is inadequate to house all staff members comfortably.

Focus will be placed on alleviating these hardships.
Hurricane damage in Dominica will limit activities in the coconut rehabilitation programme.

Nevertheless, some support is expected from Suriname in addition to materials that will be sourced throughout Antigua and Barbuda.

Planting material is required to plant over sixty (60) acres incrementally within the next five (5) years.
Challenges: Agricultural Development is enhanced by Extension Services which enables its cliental to benefit from its roles that provide advisory services, machinery and equipment management of the natural resource and collaboration with other agencies.

Through the Extension Services agro- producers are better able to deal with the challenges in their social and natural environment.

Overcoming the challenges faced by the agricultural sector will bring benefit to the wider community.
The challenges faced by agriculture include but are not limited to the following- a.

Ensuring food productions in a manner that would sustain the natural resources while increasing production and allowing access to food b.

Enabling people engaged in agriculture to attain a standard of living equal to that of members in their community.
For the Caribbean region with a history of agriculture being synonymous with slavery there is the added challenge of - 281 - making agriculture attractive hence it may be necessary for persons engaged in agriculture to appear to be doing better than other members of the community.

Consequently, there is the underpinning goal of poverty alleviation and income generation.

c. Marketing complexities execrated by liberalization and consumer demand for wholesome and nutritious food.
Food safety issues demand that Extension agencies help producers to develop quality control programmes.

In addition there is a need to develop agro-industries that add value to products.

Furthermore, sustained programmes aimed at product utilization will ensure more different ways of consuming a commodity.
d. Introduction of new technologies and commodities that enable more diverse ways of increasing food production, productivity, food accessibility while transforming the health and well-being of people in the community through improved nutrition.

The foregoing challenges are recognized by the stakeholders who have indicated an approach to tackling the challenges as outlined in the Country Programme Framework.
Consequently, our activities programmes and projects are streamlined to accomplish the targets set for achievement by the year 2020. e. Allocating spare parts for tractors has pose some problems since the parts need to be source from Guyana has doubled.

There’s a need for alternative mechanisms to source parts overseas.

Another challenge we faced is the availability of funds to obtain these parts.

FINANCIAL SUMMARY The Ministry continues to receive a reduced subvention at a critical time when climate change, natural disasters, staff shortages, increased invasive species, increasing poverty and a range of critical challenges confront the sector.

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.

1.5 Organization Matters Cross- Cutting Themes in Healthcare Delivery The Wider Health workforce Recognizing that the health benefits of healthcare delivery is intrinsic on collaboration between government, non-governmental organizations, civil society and the community, the ministry utilizes a multi-stakeholder approach to healthcare delivery.
Consequently, the ministry executes some services by working in partnership with varying groups.

Ensuring the effectiveness of the inputs of all these stakeholders is facilitated through the involvement of individuals, families and communities in an effort to enhance the sustainability of healthcare.

This strategy can be maintained by ensuring efficiency throughout the continuum of - 325 - care at the Primary, Secondary and Tertiary levels.
Accomplishing this task requires that the five A’s of access to healthcare be achieved.

Equity-focused healthcare To ensure the Ministry of Health, Wellness and the Environment meets the targets mandated by the sustainable development goals, it is imperative that all residents and visitors have access to the same quality of healthcare services.

These services must be provided to meet the preventative, curative and rehabilitative focus on healthcare delivery.
As such it is contingent upon the five A’s of access to healthcare namely: Affordable, Availability, Accessibility, Accommodating and Acceptable.

These international standards form the foundation of an effective and efficient health care delivery system.

Delivery of varying health services is based on the demands of the environment in which we live and operate.
Consequently, the ministry seeks, not only to deliver traditional health services but also to prepare to be equipped to address emerging and re-emerging diseases inherent in other populations.

This position is particularly necessary since Antigua and Barbuda have become home to diverse people and our dependency on tourism, bringing people from all over the world who will required health services to our shores.
Gender equity Healthcare in Antigua and Barbuda is delivered to a wide cross-section of people inclusive of nationals and visitors alike.

Services are designed to meet the needs of males and females of all section of the population.

These subpopulations include children, the disables, the elderly, migrants and other vulnerable groups such as the Lesbians, Gays, Bisexual and Transgender population.

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 2019  Accountability – of all education providers Productivity Performance  Quality Leadership  Commitment  Respect  Innovation  Collegiality - 391 - 1.6 Service Performance Review and Critical Issues Service performance Achievements Ministry Headquarters 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 - 392 -  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 is to 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 2017-18 took place under the theme Developing global citizenship for creative and innovative education.
Achievements 2017-18 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.
- 393 - 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 - 394 - Figure 5: AGHS – Progress on Building Work for Additional Classroom Space 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.
- 395 - 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 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.

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.. 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 - 396 - 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.

Other such study tours are planned (e.g.

Education Officer Modern Languages and a teacher to Dominica Republic) in 2018.

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.
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; - 397 -  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.
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.

Approximately 100 new teacher recruits to the public service also received initiation training over 2-day.
Initiation training was also supported by the Antigua and Barbuda Union of Teachers (ABUT) which conducted a professional 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  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  Infant Pedagogic: Professional development for lower primary teachers took place at the Infant Pedagogic Centre.
Teachers received training and demonstrations in lesson - 398 - 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 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.

 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 - 399 - 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 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.

 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.

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 - 400 - 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.
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).

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 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.

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 - 401 - 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.

 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.
 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 introduction of a Civics Programme in all schools beginning in the primary schools in the school year 2018.
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.

 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.
- 402 - 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 realizing 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 Centre 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:  Continued professional development of teachers through workshops and seminars;  Monitoring, support and assessment of teachers, in particular new recruits to the system; - 403 -  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 2018 sittings.
Relatedly, occupancy of the Five Islands campus by the Teacher Education Department of the Antigua State College has served to move the - 404 - process forward of instituting the university college; it is expected that the School of Nursing will also formally move to that location by September 2019.

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.

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: Upgrading of Physical Plants 1.
Improving access to tertiary education for nationals: Significant progress in the negotiations on establishing Antigua and Barbuda as the site for the 4th landed campus of the UWI 2.

Retrofitting of facilities at the Five Islands Campus to accommodate inclusion of the School of Nursing, the School of Business Studies 3.
Expansion of the number of secondary school places; completion of expansion/upgrading work at the AGHS, JSS; completion of building work on Phase 1 of the SNRA; completion of negotiations and other ground work for the expansion and upgrading of the school plants at SMSS and IBWS under Basic Education Project 2 (BEP2), CDB Investing in our Human Resource – Professional Development Opportunities 4.
More focused work on improving school safety; hosting of two workshops (one regional, one more locally-concentrated) under auspices of CDEMA.

One of these provided educators with practical hands-on experiences in assessing schools for safety.

Schools encouraged to include Disaster Risk Management in their School Improvement Plans.

Schools also doing more drills – fire, earthquake.

Under the leadership of NODS, schools participated in a national tsunami drill 5.
Work on professional development of staff of the Department of Teacher Education under the Teacher Education Reform Consultancy 6.

ESI – the MoE’s flagship training event: Continues to grow from strength to strength.

This year, 400+ teachers (across public and private schools) participated in ESI, representing ~25% of teachers in public and private schools.
7. Review, revisions of the teacher appraisal system (adaptations to the OECS teacher appraisal form/system) - 405 - Accomplishments 2018  Schools on Antigua took in close to 1000 displaced students from Hurricanes in 2018, without much of a murmur.

Speaks to the flexibility of the system, the willingness of teachers and principals to adjust, student colleagues to accommodate.
 The MoEST has worked with UNICEF, NODS, Red Cross, the Barbuda Council, to see the more substantial resumption of school on Barbuda.

This was initially realized in February 2018, with more students and teachers returning for September 2018.

 Antigua and Barbuda will serve as head of the OAS Education committee, becoming the first SIDS to do so.

Additionally, it will host in 2019 the OAS Ministers of Education meeting.
 First cohort of 12 teachers sponsored by the MoEST earning Bachelor's degrees in special education graduated from the USC this year and are serving in schools as such.

A second cohort of approximately 35 teachers are due to graduate in 2019.

 First cohort of students who would not ordinarily have had access to secondary education have sat CSEC Examinations in the May/June cycle.

This came about under the implementation of USE.


Based on a continued need to re-skill and re-tool our teachers for a more diverse student population  This year's ESI focused on addressing student psychosocial, emotional and other special learning needs.

 Work on building upgrade and expansion on a number of schools continued.

Work at the AGHS was completed.

Work at the IBWS and SMSS under BEP2 has started, that at IBWS nearing completion.
Work at SMSS should be completed in 2019, and work at the SMGSS on Barbuda should begin in 2019.

Work at the Villa Primary under a UAE has begun.

Ground breaking on a new facility - Early Childhood Model Centre and School - in Buckleys occurred late 2018.

Building work should begin soon, with target of September 2019 for opening.

This would expand the MoEST's offering at the EC stage and expand access.

This project is sponsored by the Maria Holder Memorial Trust.
 Details signed off for the construction of a new primary school on Barbuda sponsored by the DR. Work should begin shortly, with target date of September 2019 for opening.

 Progress, albeit slow, has been made on moving the three quasi-tertiary institutions on Antigua and Barbuda towards the University College of Antigua and Barbuda and the 4th landed campus of the UWI.

The bill has been approved and gazetted and refurbishing work at the Five Islands campus continues.
- 406 -  Final reports for two research/interventions projects under BEP2 were received.

These are the Transformation of Teacher Education, and the Crafting of a TVET policy.

It is now for the MoEST to act as best fits, on these.

 There is an initiative underway to showcase more widely and continuously the work of students (in art, craft, other TVET areas) across the island.

Space for this has been negotiated at the airport and the Heritage Quay.

Some of this work will be available for sale.


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 opening hours of the library should be financed during the - 407 - 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 3:00p.m.to 10:00p.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 5.
Increased student 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.

7.
7.

Secured 2+2 articulation agreement with Illinois Institute of Technology 1.15ABIIT’ 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.

1.17Academic Department The academic department is in need of the following: a) Librarian - 409 - 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.

The estimated cost for a trained Librarian is approximately $ 3,000 per month or $36,000 annually.

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.

The estimated annual cost of a trained Counselor is approximately $ 36, 000 per year.

Insufficient paid Heads of Department: Presently there are a total of seven (7) academic departments.
School Meals Programme: Service Performance Review and Critical Issues The National Schools Meals Program aims to protect the most vulnerable students against hunger providing hot lunches for roughly 7,000 students across the islands of Antigua, Barbuda and Dominica.

As a result, of the initiative, identifying the following successes deemed necessary: Achievements The launching of the NSMP reaped much success during the time of operation since its existence commencing 2005.
The program’s assessment highlighted the following attainments with the hope of extending its achievements in the future: 1.

Increased productivity within the targeted schools resulting from better nutrition provided for students.

This has contributed vastly to higher educational attainment levels and higher test scores.

2.

Contribution to healthier and longer life expectancy among students benefitting from the program’s services as well as its daily provision of nutritional servings.

3.
3.

Health care cost reduction because of better nutritional meals for the academic school year.

Additionally contributes to reduction in the underdevelopment of some students.

Issues To capitalize on efficiency within the NSMP, the identified areas become vital as overlooking may impede growth within the department that will further affect stakeholders in the end: 1.

Some schools are excluded from the program thus; students are without lunches that may affect academic output.

2.
2.

Increase in absenteeism at some schools because of the lack of food consumption as some parents are unable to provide meals throughout the school day(s).

3 .Unemployment and low educational attainment by parents contribute to provision of unhealthy meals before school.
- 410 - Organisational matters Capability of the National Schools Meals Program Achievements The NSMP operates successfully despite several deficiencies identified among its human resources, the plant’s operational equipment and other main areas.

Furthermore, the program reaped results in the following: 1.

Partly trained labourers to assist with the preparation of lunches as well as delivery agents to execute transportation of meals to final destinations 2.
In progress training program for Hazardous analysis critical control point 3.

One central preparatory unit with two subsidiary units to satisfy increased demands in daily lunches Issues Several setbacks presented difficulties for the NSMP to maximize on productivity within the unit.

Among those identified, the following priorities can be identified: 1.

Shortage in centre space to facilitate productivity on a larger scale.

2.
2.

Lack and shortage of equipment necessary to expedite provision of services to all units 3.

Shortage of transportation to assist with delivery of lunches to school centres.

4.

Proficient skilled workers to achieve the overall goals and objectives of the department.

Summary of capability development strategy To ensure delivery of its vision and mission, the National School Meal Program hopes to embark on the incorporation of several new initiatives that will benefit all stakeholders.
Adopting and investing in training and development of the plant’s human resources becomes a priority in order to ensure a productive and efficient team going forward.

In addition, adopting better health and safety practices within the unit proves vital as it minimizes risks for management and staff that can be cost-effective in the end.
Creating alliances with external entities such as ABHTI will provide a flowing stream of services in the catering department during off seasons (Easter, summer, & Christmas) workshops and in return offers experiences for young chefs in training.

Obtaining additional delivery trucks for distribution will facilitate efficiency within the unit as well as serve as medium for advertising of the program’s services in the local community.
In corporation of professional development for in-house staff and management teams for better service delivery will also facilitate and hopefully foster better relationships for a positive work environment.

The National Archives: Performance Review: Service performance and Critical Issues The staff of the National Archives continue to improve their productivity notwithstanding the many challenges faced post renovation.
We are severely cramped for space due to the continuous pitfalls such as flooding and wet damages to some areas.

Despite the lack of individual space for staff member teamwork were used to push to complete data entries and digitization of some records Achievements We have digitized approximately one tenth of our records to include Land title and Slave Records and have updated more of our indexes to our web page creating more access for both online and local users and researchers.
We have also uploaded indexes to cloud storage, cds’ etc.

We are presently looking at the option of an external hard drive - 411 - 1.

Friends of the Archives came up with amount of $15,000.00 Euro through friends of the archives for the repairs but not yet released.

2.

Executed exhibition on stamp collection 3.

Digitization of Indexes now available for online and local requests.

4.

Digitization of some records for easy retrieval by local researchers 5.
Addition of two (2) new staff members formerly Job Trainees to Office Assistants.

6.

Upgrade of three (3) Officers from Office Assistants (Non-Established) to fill the Established posts of Assistant Records Manager, Assistant Research Officer and Assistant Archivist.

Issues 1.

Funding received not enough to fix roof.

Not sure if this fund is still available to even fix a portion of the roof that is leaking and which continues to flood the building each time it rain and notably the crack has enlarged.
2.

Unfinished Repository Room # 2 with moldy Air condition unit vent is presenting major challenges causing limited space for staff and records 3.

Conservation Room is still non-functional to bind books or repair documents thus; it has to accommodate other records from Repository Rooms #’s 2 and 3.

4.

A re-assessment of the building is needed so that the building can become more habitable to records, staff and users.

5.
5.

Additional training is needed for new and existing staff members but the limited space and resources has made it difficult to realize.

Organisational matters Capability of the ministry/agency Achievements 1.

We increased our staff with three (3) interns from the Labour Department.

However, one (1) has left us to pursue studies abroad.

The remaining two are now being hired by as Office Assistants effective 01st October, 2018 2.
Two (2) staff members started their first summer courses in the Certificate in Records Management course in Barbados this year.

The Ag.

Director attended a Working Conference on Disaster Recovery and Heritage preservation Jul 30th to Aug 02nd 2018.

- 412 - 3.

Most of our staff complements have resumed working at the National Archives with the exception of our accounting staff who perform their duties from the Ministry Headquarters.

4.
4.

Staff engaged in and learned new job roles - Due to the limited working space.

Issues 1.

Maintenance is a major issue to the building 2.

Too much unfinished issues such as loose wirings.

Fixing the building is priority.

3.

Relocation of staff is a necessary option should the working condition get unbearable especially with the consistent flooding.

4.

Incomplete electrical wiring is a cause for concern and could result in further safety hazards.
It is presenting us with delay in the purchase of a freezer to treat documents infested by termites and other insect.

A freezer is also necessary in our present situation for salvaging wet damages open to mold growth and deterioration.

Summary of capability development strategy The National Archives has wealthy derivations which have been stifled by Infrastructural problems.

Space is an issue both for staff and records.


Once attention is paid to fixing the building so that the staff can work at their optimal, more services can be implemented.

We understand the need for funding is paramount for enhancing the work of the National Archives and capitalizing on the creativity of our officers.

Hence, were will be introducing the creation of two (2) positions for a Procurement Officer and an Accounting Officer.
Antigua and Barbuda National Accreditation Board SPAN OF OPERATIONS The technical and administrative operations of the ABNAB Secretariat span a myriad of activities governed by its overall mission.

Some are under the direct control of the staff of the ABNAB on an ongoing basis, while others are subject to requests from other agencies and institutions.
The following listing, while not exhaustive, presents a panoramic view of the activities performed at various levels of intensity during the past year by the ABNAB staff.

1.

ACCREDITATION 1.1 Advised tertiary institutions on the requirements for the Accreditation process 1.2 Advised post-secondary training providers on the requirements for programmatic accreditation 2.

CAPACITY BUILDING 10.1 Participated in workshops & seminars to enhance the work of the ABNAB 10.2 Participated in training re website 11.
DATABASE DEVELOPMENT 11.1 Maintained a database of tertiary institutions registered by the ABNAB.

12.

STUDENT COUNSELLING 12.1 Visited the majority of secondary schools, both public and private, and provided academic counselling to fifth form students 12.3 Provided mentorship for students from ASC through an internship programme ACTIVITIES NOT COMPLETED There were many activities which remained incomplete or were not started because of lack of funding.
These included:-  Workshop for training of evaluators  Workshops for institutional strengthening of tertiary sector (quality standards)  Completion of PSIP project  Strategic plan not developed CRITICAL ISSUES 1.

There are two major issues which we at ABNAB consider to be of equal importance and so they are ‘tied’ as our number 1 critical issue.

(a) At present is the need for the building to be renovated and upgraded.
We are currently faced with issues of problematic electrical wiring, a leaking roof, lack of lunch room facilities as well as some security concerns.

(b) Training of evaluators is critical, especially in light of the fact that a university is scheduled to open in 2019 and credibility of the institution is at stake.

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 is 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.

- 415 - 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.
PRIORITIES FOR 2019 In 2019, ABNAB is committed to continuing its work in the tertiary sector as mandated by the Accreditation Act of 2006 to the best of its abilities.

There are however, some areas that ABNAB intends to pay particular attention to:- 1.

Capacity building (internal and external) 2.

Continuation of Public Education Campaign to promote ABNAB’s services particularly in the secondary schools 3.

Encouraging quality standards in tertiary institutions in Antigua and Barbuda.

4.
4.

Developing a new 3 year Strategic Plan for the Antigua and Barbuda National Accreditation Board 5. Financing of ABNAB (Increasing revenue and streamlining subvention payments) 6.

Improving the physical plant and general working environment Priority Areas 1.

Capacity Building (a) Staff b) Evaluators 2.

Public Education Campaign with special focus on secondary schools 3.
Encouraging the Strategies Outcomes to training seminars, Attending conferences Using internet for access to free webinars news-letters, Subscribing journals etc which focus on accreditation matters (both print and electronic) Working with other agencies to train qualified persons interested in becoming evaluators Conducting power point presentations for 5th formers in the private and public school system as well as the general public Distributing publicity material - pens, bookmarks, calendars brochures etc Updating Facebook page with current interesting information Reviving E-newsletter on a quarterly basis Intensifying media presence Facilitating/conducting workshops with the focus on maintaining quality standards More knowledgeable staff Compilation of reference material for use by staff as well as stakeholders Better informed stakeholders A cadre of trained evaluators who would be able to conduct evaluations on behalf of ABNAB and other regional agencies Information on ABNAB’s services will reach approximately 1,500 more people Facebook ‘likes’ will increase by 20% Newsletter reach will increase by 20% Greater commitment to quality Recognition given to Tertiary sector lecturers who show excellence in Teaching.
- 416 - Increasing dialogue between ABNAB and tertiary institutions in A and B Encouraging teacher excellence Encouraging excellence in institutions Brainstorming within the agency Consulting with ABNAB’s stakeholders Reviewing service fee structures of other agencies in the region Developing a new fee structure in line with other territories Increasing dialogue with Treasury Providing information about the operations of ABNAB Working more closely with the Development Planning Unit Working more closely with the ministries of Works and Finance maintenance of quality standards in tertiary institutions in Antigua and Barbuda.
4.Developing a new 3 year Strategic Plan 5.

Increasing revenue to the Agency 6.

Improving the physical working environment of ABNAB staff.

National Training Agency: Recognition given to institutions that show excellence in quality standards.

Creation of a new clearer mandate for operation Revenue will be significantly increased.
A better understanding of the operations of ABNAB Disbursement of funds more in sync with the operations of ABNAB Creation of a facility more in keeping with an agency responsible for quality standards Creation of a more comfortable environment for workers Increased productivity Service Performance review This year the ABNTA has continued its work of vetting Occupational Standards.

Also, Facility Standards are nearing completion for the Occupational Standards which have been vetted.
Other Occupational Standards are being prepared for the vetting process and new Industry Lead Bodies are being created.

Work is ongoing to ensure that the internal systems and processes of the ABNTA meet the criteria for accreditation.

These include the document management protocol, vital records management, security, archiving, preservation, retention, and version control.
Also included are the Risk Management policy and procedure, Customer Service Statement, Emergency plan, and other manuals and guidelines which are necessary for the work of an awarding body.

These were done without access to the internet.

- 417 - Organisational matters In order for the ABNTA to be able to offer the CVQ certification, the Agency must be accredited by CARICOM.
At this time the ABNTA is not in a position to apply for accreditation because of major non-compliances with the accreditation criteria.

One major deficiency is the lack of staff.

The ABNTA depends on the Ministry of Education and the other relevant authorities for staff positions to be approved and created, and for staff to be appointed.

The Agency needs staff positions filled with adequate numbers and quality of individuals to fulfil the functions of an awarding body.
The ABNTA will be able to charge fees for its services when it becomes fully functional.

Until then it depends on the government to finance its operations.

The Agency receives a subvention from the government which is inadequate and unpredictable.

For the time being the ABNTA is making modest gains, utilizing very limited resources in the best ways possible.

The ABNTA is responsible for awarding certification under the National Vocational Qualification (NVQ) system.
This involves a process of reform of the Technical Vocational Education and Training (TVET) system to include a strategy to develop the human resources so that the citizens of Antigua and Barbuda may become more competitive in the regional and global market place.

Also, there are moves being made to offer Caribbean Vocational Qualifications (CVQs) in schools.
These initiatives demand that the NTA become a functioning awarding body since this is the only method through which NVQs and CVQs can be offered in Antigua and Barbuda.

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

Ensure that sufficient qualified individuals work within the TVET system.

2.

Improve support to the TVET infra-structure.

3.

Enhance public perception of TVET.

4.

Re-orient TVET to focus on Labour Market demands.

Outcome: Expansion and development of the qualification in current and new areas.
National Public Library Service Performance Review and Critical Issues Internal ongoing staff training is done on a continual basis by the Director, Deputy Director and Information Technology Coordinator, in order to keep Staff on the cutting edge of information.

Additionally, staff have received training from the Training Division to enhance personal and professional skills.
Staff is currently pursuing studies in their Associate Degree in Network Engineering at the Antigua and Barbuda International Institute of Technology (ABIIT), and others completing studies at the University of Wales in Aberystwyth, Wales.

CPR Training at the American University of Antigua.

This was critical as with the number of patrons falling ill and increase of 911 calls, it was necessary for all staff members to have this training done.
The National Office of Disaster Services (NODS), and the Child Friendly Schools Framework (CFSF) held workshops also.

Internal training is continuous throughout the year.

The presence of 24/7 Security from Special Security Services has somewhat eased the stress of having the facility and its resources left unguarded, especially during the night hours.

Security personnel are divided into three shifts: 07:00 a.m. – 3:00 p.m., 3:00 p.m. – 10:00 p.m. and 10:00 p.m. – 7:00 a.m.
The Security Officers to an extent have been effective in maintaining order at the facility.

There have been instances where these services have been inefficient.

Requests for male Security Officers to work during the night hours for most parts have been ignored.

This has left female Offices in the dangerous, precarious situation of working nights alone.

The National Public Library acquired seven (7) Aruba access points that enables the four levels of the facility to have Internet access.
This allows for greater information ingress and helps the library to fulfil one of its goals i.e.

bridging the gap between the information haves and have nots.

The National Public Library now has a complement of seventy-five (75) computer systems.

This empowers the library to increase its computing services to the public.

Two (2) servers have also been installed.

These are currently being optimized and configured for service.
A ramp has been installed at the left entrance of the Library to assist Special Needs patrons who need to access to the facilities.

This has indeed been an asset to our special patrons.

However, this project needs completion.

- 420 - Achievements 1.

Greater wireless access throughout.

2.

On-going staff training.

3.

Consistent expansion of school and community outreach programmes.

4.

Children and Adult workshops.

Issues a.
Issues a.

Finance Many financial challenges at the Government’s Treasury have resulted in late payments local, regional and international.

This has hampered acquisition of supplies/items for services to patrons and staff.

The slow process of certifying Invoices and receiving permission to make purchases or payments either locally or overseas, have many times resulted in the expiration date of Invoices, with no payments being made.
Further, monies received late, has resulted in the National Public Library losing one of its necessary database services and the disappointment, disgust and threat of lawsuits from some business merchants.

b. Bathroom facilities One of the small toilet facilities in the bathroom of the Youth Services Department has been removed and replaced with a standard-sized toilet.

This has eased the burden of the children using these minute toilets to relieve themselves.
However, the other two remaining toilet facilities in the same Department need to be removed as soon as possible and replaced with standard-sized toilets.

c. Electronic equipment Telephone lines and PBX System to operate telephones have not yet been installed.

Lack of such a switchboard operating system is hampering efficiency.

Progress seems to stall every time a letter goes to APUA.

Finding documentation appears to be a serious issue.

- 421 - d. Incomplete ramp This project is partially complete.
The ramp needs to be completed in its entirety so that access can be made by physically and visually impaired patrons.

e. Windows and Blinds The entire building needs to be furnished with blinds/curtains to combat the fierceness of the sun which is a daily hazard.

There are many windows which are inoperable throughout the building that need to be fixed.

There are also many windows which are difficult to close.
To safeguard items from challenging weather systems such as Tropical Storms and Hurricanes, staff members have wedged pieces of wood between winders to secure faulty windows.

f. Security Services Too many Security personnel sent to perform duties at the National Library are either females, or new – especially the night shift (11:00 pm – 7:00 am).

Several requests have been made to have this rectified, but to no avail.
A request has also been made for Security Officers working the night shift to be granted a firearm.

g. Additional furniture Additional furniture (tables and chairs) is an immediate need, both for new staff and additional patrons.

Furniture and space are high priorities.

As the demand for information services increase, then the need for additional systems will also increase.

h. Areas of urgency 1.

Timely payments for database software from the Government’s Treasury.

2.
2.

The need to purchase all printers, photocopiers, scanners, shredders and other electronic equipment pertinent to the library.

3.

Outer Shutters to protect the entire building from the ravages of yearly storms such as hurricanes.

4.

Changing all winders for every window.

5.

Blinds/curtains for all the windows and providing the windows with tints.

6.

Immediately installing a PBX telephone system with the requested additional lines.

7.

Completing the ramp facility.

8.

Security Services upgrade.


9.

Additional rooms and furniture.

The new library facility needs to be a top priority for our Nationals and for our educational system.

Students at all levels of the educational ladder and the wider community are needful such a facility for research and wish to be comfortable in its space.

Overseas visitors who frequent the facility also require comfort as they connect with family and friends overseas through access of the convenient and free Internet services offered.
Organisational matters Capability of the ministry/agency Achievements 1.

Conducting the first ever Robotics Workshop in August 2018 with ‘Redonda Robotics’ in conjunction with the American Corner Space.

Over 150 children were in attendance.

This activity will continue next year.

The Summer Reading programme continues to be a boost in literacy for students on vacation.

Authors are invited to share their books with children who in turn write stories 2.
- 422 - and poems and become very involved in literacy activities and presentations.

Local businesses and companies have partnered with the library to keep this activity functioning.

The Easter Camp now in its third year continues to be a huge success.

Security features have been installed in books and computers to safeguard the print and equipment from theft.

Requested Staff complement to assist with the smooth functioning of the facility have been received.

Issues Financial assistance to buy much needed equipment is critical.

In order to undertake some of its financial burden, the Library has embarked on minor fund raising ventures such as selling used, donated books with no shelf life.

Also sold are bags with the library’s logo and envelopes.

1.

Late payments for the Library’s Automation and Management software.

2.
2.

Need for timely release of funds from the Government’s Treasury for purchasing printed materials, electronic equipment, or for replacing equipment parts.

3.

Need for timely release of funds to purchase ink for printing and photocopying services.

4.

Need for timely release of funds to pay local and overseas business merchants for supplies as the library now functions on longer hours.

5.

Request for additional furniture.


This need has become critical as there is now an overwhelming and frequent use of the library by all walks of society.

There is not one more chair or table left that can be used.

Patrons are now standing, or sitting on the floors to have assignments completed.

6.

Due to the absence of security cameras the Library has been faced with constant theft.

Security cameras are guards for the Library’s resources and should be a priority.

7.
7.

Increase in Budget allocation is crucial for training staff and optimal functioning of the facility.

8.

There is a dire need for at least (6) six additional rooms to be added as an expansion, to include an entire administration block which would include a media room, a computer lab and a finance department.

Many requests to use the facility have been denied as there is no further space to accommodate the many programmes desired by the community.
Quite often spaces and times to use the building has been juggled.

Summary of capability development strategy 1.

Staff completing their degree training were upgraded.

2.

Staff are constantly being trained to be skilled in many areas of proficiency, thus enabling them to be cross-utilized in the various service areas of the library.

3.

ABICE has seen a 25% increase in student population for 2018/2019 due to its vigorous advertisement.

Issues As ABICE continue to show growth, there are a number of challenges facing the institute.

Among them are: 1.

The non-issuance of the Caribbean Vocational Certificate (CVQ) by the Antigua and Barbuda National Training Agency (ABNTA).
This caused frustration in the system by instructors and students and could have far reaching effect on the institution.

2.

Inadequate training facilities such as Automotive, Welding, Garment Construction, Drafting and Air Condition/Refrigeration workshops.

The current - 424 - workshop is inadequate and consequently defeats the purpose of learning and training.

Recently, the Energy Department has been attached to this Ministry.

This Ministry seeks to provide quality administrative and technical services, while ensuring that a harmonious relationship with and between stakeholders is developed.

Public Utilities and Transportation are Statutory bodies that are responsible for their own budget and other related matters.
Air Traffic Services, Meteorological Services, Energy and the Ministry of Civil Aviation, will be the focused areas budgeted for in the 2019 budget.

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

Currently, the Ministry of Civil Aviation staff complement is increasing.

This has created a bit of overcrowding in the office space.

Additionally, there is need for extra office furnishings and equipment to accommodate new staff.
The Air Traffic Control Services Department is the nerve center of the airport operation, since it involves providing a unique service to airline operators in the air and on the ground.

It is the safety net which holds the lives of all travelers when they decide to take a flight from one country to the next.
This profession must at all times be taken seriously by administrative and operational personnel, in order to secure our future in the tourism industry, which forms a major part of our nation’s economic survival.

The task of providing a safe, orderly and expeditious flow of air traffic locally, regionally and internationally with an aim towards improving and enhancing the tourism product.
The Meteorological Department is strictly accountable for the provision of weather information on a daily basis and public weather forecasts.

In addition, the Meteorological Services continues to deliver products geared toward the safe movement of air transport services into and out of - 460 - Antigua and Barbuda.

This it does through services such as: flight briefings, documentation, hourly weather reports and forecasts for Aerodromes.

The Energy Department has been recently attached to this Ministry.
It has been established to advance the government’s policies and strategies in relation to the Energy Sector.

The Energy Section plays a large coordinating role and works with other Agencies and Departments of Government, as well as the private sector to develop and implement projects, programs and activities relating to energy.

These include APUA, the Ministry of Health and the Environment, and the Bureau of Standards.
A major role also involves working with regional and international agencies involved with energy, including: CARICOM, OECS, UN IRENA, and the OAS.

The Energy Section is presently involved in various activities, including training on energy related matters, public awareness activities, data collection, and supporting implementation of renewable energy and energy efficiency programs on Antigua and Barbuda.
1.2 Vision: To become the best in the region in delivering public utilities, civil aviation and transportation services to our clients.

1.3 Mission: To provide quality service to stakeholders who utilize public utilities, civil aviation and transportation throughout our nation.
- 461 - Ministry of Civil Aviation Organizational Chart: The following diagram depicts the current organization structure in the Ministry of Civil Aviation: - 462 - 1.4 Service Performance Review and Issues: This review will focus directly on the Ministry’s headquarters and Meteorological Services.

For over a decade, the Ministry of Civil Aviation has been unable to honor its commitment to pay subventions to the Organizations of International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO).
The Ministry sought help from the Cabinet of Antigua and Barbuda and subsequently a Decision stated that the Treasury will pay subventions in the sum of over 2 million dollars, but on a draw down basis.

This the Ministry attempted in the preparation of vouchers, but to date, the Treasury has not honor any payments for ICAO.

The same fate has been meted out to the Meteorological Services.
Currently, the Meteorological Services are owing large sums on all of its subventions to International and Regional Partner Organizations.

A total in excess of four (4) million dollars are owed to the Caribbean Institute for Meteorology and Hydrology (CIMH), a total in excess of three (3) hundred thousand owed to Caribbean Meteorological Organization (CMO), and over one (1) hundred thousand to World Meteorological Organization (WMO).
The Meteorological Services made numerous attempts to partially pay subventions, but to date, no payment has been made by the Treasury.

In addition, the Ministry’s suppliers are still unpaid and the few who received payments were very disgruntled with the duration of the processing period.

Issues: to function with The Meteorological Division Insufficient funds for training, human resource development and equipment are factors 1. that is impeding progress in all Departments of the Ministry.
2. shortage of continues Forecasters/Meteorologists brought about by retirements and lack of funds to train replacement staff.

The Division continues to slip further into arrears on all of its subventions to International and Regional Partner Organizations for 2018.

The Ministry of Civil Aviation has been unable to pay subventions for over a decade.
To date, arrears owed to the International Civil Aviation Organization (ICAO) headquarters is EC $ 2,250,350.00, EC $4,479,321.00 are owed to Caribbean Institute for Meteorology and Hydrology (CIMH), EC $391,350.67 to Caribbean Meteorological Organization (CMO), and EC $ 194,872.95 to World Meteorological Organization (WMO).

Immense difficulties have been experienced in trying to secure funds from the Treasury and are causing these arrears to continue to increase.
This problem has been a - 463 - brought to the attention of the Accountant General on several occasions and also the Ministry of Finance.

3.

The Meteorological Office has an obsolete Mercury Barometer which has been in use for about forty (40) years.

Currently, it is in a deplorable state which makes it increasingly difficult to use.
Being the main equipment that provides information to aviation pilots for the landing of aircrafts, the need for a modern electronic Barometer as a replacement is quintessential.

The office has budgeted for the purchase of this item and hopes that funds can be sourced urgently to acquire this equipment within the upcoming budget cycle.

4.

Maintenance of weather equipment for remote weather stations across Antigua and Barbuda continues to be challenging, as parts and supplies have to be purchased for their upkeep from time to time.

The office space currently utilized by the Meteorological staff is inadequate and is in dire need of an aesthetical uplift.

The general air conditioning system also need to be overhauled or replaced.
It is non-functional frequently, forcing the need for small split units for use, when the main central unit is not working.

This There is an urgent and critical need for the V.C.

Bird ANU VOR to be up and running.

On 14th May, 2018, Management at ATC received information from the Eastern Caribbean Civil Aviation Authority (ECCAA) about the fact that the VOR has failed its annual flight check.

The appropriate NOTAM (notice to Airmen) was sent out.

Since then, the Air Traffic Controllers at V.C.


Bird Air Traffic Services have been using an NDB which is a much less reliable navigation aid.

Further, the readings fluctuate during bad weather.

Additionally, operational restoration of the Radar System for the V.C.

Bird Air Traffic Control is paramount.

Government will realize the benefits with increased airspace capacity and possibility of increasing fees for users of the airspace.
Currently, the Radar monitors present both in the tower and the Approach Office were donated by Martinique and are being used for situational awareness only.

While they cannot be used for separation purposes, they allow the Controllers to monitor aircraft positions – a much needed tool for the upcoming busy season and also in bad weather.
The acquisition and implementation of a RADAR system is still on hold and is an issue for the RADAR DATA sharing initiated by ICAO which is reaching a critical stage, and - 464 - the absence of the Antigua RADAR will leave a void.

The upgrading and modernization of the existing communications and navigational systems in use at V.C.

Bird International Airport is urgent as it has become outdated, worn and no longer supported with spare parts by the manufacturer.
The project involves the replacement of radios for air ground communication, consoles and telecommunication equipment used for coordination of traffic.

It also seeks to improve air ground communication coverage to include aircraft on the ground in Barbuda.

This has been approved and work is on the way.

Presently the office computers at V.C.

Bird Air Traffic Services badly needs upgrading.

Three (3) computers have been received from the Ministry of Information.
However, there is still an urgent need for three (3) additional computers.

1.5 Organizational Matters Capability of the Ministry/Agency Achievements: Due to the nature of Air Traffic Services and Meteorological Services, the entire staff has to engage in ongoing training: 1.

During the current year six (6) Aeronautical Information Service Officers III from Air Traffic Services were sent to Barbados to be trained as Aeronautical Information Service Officers with five returning successful.

2.
2.

Air Traffic Services Management team attended a number of ICAO meetings and training workshops in the Dominican Republic, Peru, Miami and Canada.

These meetings brought a greater awareness as to the requirement needed by Antigua and Barbuda as an Air Navigation Service Provider (ANSP).

They were also highlight areas where, as the ANSP, the needs to be compliant with ICAO Standards and Recommended Practices and to abide by the decisions made to fit into the Regional and Global Air Navigation Plans.

3.
3.

The Meteorological Division participated in a number of conferences and workshops throughout the year.

At least nine (9) Meteorological Officers have begun training as stipulated by ICAO, in order to be compliant with regulatory requirements.

4.

The Meteorological office continues to provide weather warnings for the Eastern Caribbean, Leeward Islands and the British Virgin Islands.

During the hurricane season thus far, the islands have been affected or threatened by several Tropical Storms.
The office issued a number of public bulletins and made a number of media appearances to sensitize and warn the - 465 - public to protect life and property.

From public feedback across the islands, the public is generally pleased with the products and services that the Meteorological Office continues to deliver.

In addition, the office continues to deliver products geared toward the safe movement of air transport services into and out of Antigua and Barbuda.
This it does through services such as: flight briefings, documentation, hourly weather reports and forecasts for Aerodromes.

The upgrading and modernization of the Air Traffic Control Tower Cab has been progressing slowly, due to the large disbursements of monies that must be forthcoming to AERONAV Limited, before the project can commence.

The total cost for this upgrade is in excess of two and a half million (US$ 2.5 mil) dollars.

The current ANU VOR equipment failed its annual flight check in May 2018, due to severe malfunctioning.
The government of Antigua and Barbuda has since entered into an agreement with AERONAV Limited in order to start the construction of a new VOR.

It was agreed that both committees will meet twice yearly, once before the hurricane season and once after, minimum.

At least one meeting will be chaired by the Minister and one by the Prime Minister.
Both meetings should be compulsory to those members on the committee.

Cabinet of Antigua and Barbuda established sub-committee with oversight for risk reduction activity.

The technical committee from National Disaster Executive Committee advises this Cabinet sub-committee.

Training sessions were conducted in the following areas in order to enhance NODS capacity to better respond to Disasters:- Twenty two (22) persons were trained in shelter management from disaster committees and Barbuda.
Each trainee was issued with a shelter management manual and a shelter management check list and reference guide.

Forty Five (45) persons were also trained in damage assessment needs analysis specifically Post Disaster Needs Assessment (PDNA) a methodology employed by the World Bank, UNDP and CDB.

Participants were drawn from the government agencies, private sector - (Engineers, Architect and Contractor Associations), NGOs, the District Disaster Committee Volunteer system (DDCs) and Barbuda.
They were instrumental in carrying out the subsequent Building Damage Assessment of Barbuda after the impact of Hurricane IRMA last year.

A CERT team was trained for every district in Antigua and Barbuda.

The objective is to have each team participate in an exercise-based National CERT Challenge.

This challenge is to be done in conjunction with National Search and Rescue (SAR) mechanism.
NODS trained One hundred and Ninety Eight (198; F-98, M-100) persons form government agencies including air and sea ports, hospital, EMS, Police, E911, Tourism (lifeguards) and District Disaster Committee volunteers (including CERTs) in Basic Emergency Telecommunications procedures.

- 521 - Mass Casualty Management (MCM) training (exercises) of personnel, inclusive of personnel from Military, Police, Fire, Ports and Health were done in collaboration with stakeholder partners.
An additional Sixty Three (63; F-30, M-33) persons were trained in MCM and several persons from Fire Department (ABFD) and Defence Force (ABDF) had specialized training in Light Search And Rescue (LSAR) techniques.

NODS trained and practiced Ninety Two (92; F-28 M-64) persons in emergency operations at a national level and established links with key sectors and community level.
NODS conducted three (3) National Tsunami Evacuation exercises targeting one (1) of the most vulnerable communities to tsunami impact – Villa; Primary and Secondary Schools island-wide within the impact zone; Preschool, Daycares island-wide within the impact zone Table top exercises were done with National emergency operations staff, Airport and sea port staff.
During these exercises the following were tested: emergency procedures, telecommunications equipment, agency disaster plans and emergency resources.

Antigua and Barbuda now has the capabilities to conduct several (three) full scale Mass Casualty Management operations at the same time, with LSAR support.

NEOC staff was exposed to Standard Operation Procedures and National Emergency Operations Tools.

During these types of exercises, agencies were challenged to look inwards at their own resources.
Based on the lessons learnt from the impact of Hurricane IRMA in 2017 hurricane season, new considerations/issues were factored into the process and criteria for those who qualify for assistance in an emergency/rebuilding process.

Procedures were reviewed and updated, as well as, procedures for clearing, transporting, storage and repackaging of relief supplies, were also reviewed and updated.
Challenges There will be many challenges in the execution of this programme due to the present staffing constraints.

It will be extremely necessary for additional technical staff to execute the many activities over the programme period.
Based on experiences, most recently out of the 2017 Hurricane IRMA impact, there is a real need to expand the staffing compliment of the NODS-CU, primarily in the areas of; Logistic functions Information Technology (IT)/Database Public Education/Awareness - 522 - The re-organization of the national office of disaster services staff and re-allocation of functions is key to the success of the CDM implementation and the countries risk reduction The issue of contributions to CDEMA and Seismic must be revisited to enable us meet our obligation and continue to receive all the benefits from these institution.
The issue of integrated communications for emergency coordination continues to be a vital issue that needs to be improved with some urgency.

Lack of ownership by public sector agencies for their DRR related functions, especially by some non-traditional primary responders, must be improved.
The deficiencies attributable to the lack of completion and exercise of a Comprehensive Disaster Management sector plan by a number of pivotal agencies was evident in several aspects of operational challenges they encountered during the extended Hurricane IRMA impact response and recovery operations of 2017 – 2018.

The strengthening of the Ministry’s Disaster MIS management Liaison Officer function is an urgent matter.
The limited representation of lead ministry agencies at Hurricane IRMA impact response coordination fora was a point of concern.

The lack of resource (allocation, mobilization) by some agencies makes it quite challenging to Coordinate and manage some emergency events.

Lack of adequate training in some key agencies in respect of their emergency functions make emergency management more difficult than it need be.
The rate of rotation for staff trained in disaster management in the Public sector is quite a challenge.

The issue of support to the disaster management system from the Permanent Secretary’s forum and especially the Ministry Liaison mechanism is in need of strengthening.

- 561 - Ministry of Legal Affairs Public Safety and Labour Headquarters Business Plan For the FY 2019 - 562 - Ministry Overview In Antigua and Barbuda, the Ministry of Legal Affairs, Public Safety and Labour is responsible for:  The Prevention, detection and prosecution of Crime.

 The Maintenance of law and order.

 Enforcement of laws.

 The maintenance of industrial peace.

 The enforcing of the law relative to the health, safety and welfare of employees.
 Labour dispute management and mediation.

The Ministry comprises the following Departments, Division and Units:  Ministry Headquarters – Public Safety and Labour  Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda (RPFA&B)  Labour Department  Her Majesty’s Prison (HMP)  Sir.
Wright George Police Training Academy (SWGPTA)  Regional Cyber Crime Unit (RCCU)  Antigua and Barbuda Forensic Science Laboratory (ABFSL)  Trafficking in Persons (Prevention) Secretariat (TIPPS)  Policy Research and Development Unit  Project Support and Implementation Unit Vision Statement Enforcing and maintaining security and creating a system of justice and fair play within the borders of Antigua and Barbuda.
Mission Statement To provide a safe, twin-island state where residents and visitors are assured that the laws of Antigua and Barbuda will be executed impartially as they relate to National Security and Labour.

Service Performance Review Introduction The Ministry of Legal Affairs, Public Safety and Labour continues to provide support to its departments and divisions while partnering with other agencies; local, regional and international in providing quality service to the public of Antigua and Barbuda.
We spare no effort to ensure that safety and security are paramount and that residents and visitors are assured that the laws of Antigua and Barbuda are enforced and executed impartially.

- 563 - The Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda (RPFAB) continues to confront some of the challenges faced in 2018, by providing its members with requisite training.
During the year, they seized a number of illegal firearms and a significant quantity of illicit drugs, which ultimately contributes to a safer society.

Continued training will be maintained in advancing the organization to ensure that the RPFAB is positioned to cope with the new and emerging trends in crime.
Throughout the ministry, staff members were exposed to capacity building opportunities locally, regionally and internationally, in areas such as Cybercrime and Security, Trafficking in Persons Prevention, Labour Relations and Mediation, and Strategic Management workshops.

In addition, the industrial relations climate was fairly peaceful and any disputes were settled quickly due to the Labour Department’s collaboration and mediation with Trade Unions and Employers.
Ministry Headquarters The Ministry of Legal Affairs, Public Safety and Labour has a number of critical functions under its command, many of which are directly linked to the country’s safety and security.

It is well known that the security agencies that fall within the Ministry, are party to many regional and international agreements and treaties, which require strict adherence to implementation, management, monitoring and reporting standards.
It is also well known that we often miss out on assistance offered by the international community because they might not adequately meet the needs of Small Island Developing States such as Antigua and Barbuda unless modification is made to facilitate implementation in a local context.
Recognizing that some changes are required to enable the ministry to take full advantage of assistance available from agencies such as the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB), the International Labour Organization (ILO), the World Bank, the Caribbean Basin Security Initiative (CBSI) and others, the Ministry of Legal Affairs, Public Safety and Labour has streamlining of Policy Development and Administration, Project identified Implementation and Management and Activity Monitoring, Evaluation and Reporting, as areas of priority.
To this end, in 2018, the ministry established two units; the Policy Research and Development Unit and the Project Support and Implementation Unit.

Once fully staffed, these two Units will help to streamline some of the critical functions of the Ministry.
the Antigua and Barbuda Forensic Science Laboratory (ABFSL) The Antigua and Barbuda Forensic Services (ABFS) has acquired a temporary facility from the Social Security Board at the Antigua and Barbuda Defence Force Training Facility to house the forensic science laboratory.

The ABFS is presently in the process of having the Public Works Department (PWD) prepare design plans to retrofit the building which is a complicated undertaking.
Retrofitting an old facility with special requirements give rise to issues such as - 564 - environmental health and safety, hazardous materials, management and operational efficiency, adaptability, security of evidence, preservation of evidence in an uncontaminated state, as well as budgetary concerns.
In keeping with the mandate of the Cabinet of Antigua and Barbuda to establish a multi- discipline purpose-built facility, the Scope of Works for a feasibility study to develop guidelines for the planning, designing, construction of the new forensic science laboratory has been completed and submitted to the Public Sector Investment Program Office.

The guidelines serve as reference tools to the Forensic Science Laboratory Director when considering building a new laboratory or refurbishing an existing one.
In order to create the appropriate environment for forensic science, ultra-clean rooms or higher levels of containment will be required for some analytical procedures.

In addition, a very high level of performance standards will be required for cleanliness, temperature, humidity, and vibration controls.

Antigua and Barbuda Forensic Services has identified two market segments they will serve.
The first segment consists of all law enforcement agencies in Antigua and Barbuda that would require the use of forensic services.
Those agencies are would be the Ministry of Justice and Legal Affairs, Public Safety and Labour, the Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda (RPFAB) and the Antigua and Barbuda Fire Service, the Office of the National Drug and Money Laundering Control Policy (ONDCP), the Office of the Director of Public Prosecution, the Customs and Excise Division, the Immigration Department, Antigua and Barbuda Defence Force (ABDF), the Coast Guard Service and Her Majesty's Prison.
The second segment consist of any other Parastatals, Ministries, Companies, Individuals, etc.

that require forensic science assistance or expertise, in addition to overseas member states of the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS), The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and other Caribbean and international territories.

Services Antigua and Barbuda Forensic Services will provide forensic analysis to law enforcement agencies and stake holders in several types of forensic services.
The type of forensic services that would be offered are as follows: -  Forensic biology (trace evidence examination, serology, forensic DNA profiling and DNA database retention and paternity testing)  Forensic chemistry, toxicology and fire debris investigation  Ballistics, firearms and tool marks investigation  Forensic latent finger print examination, photography and crime scenes support  Questioned document analysis  Cybercrime, computer and digital forensic investigation - 565 - Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda The Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda continues to focus its resources on the safety of citizens and visitors of Antigua and Barbuda.
The aim of this plan is to clearly communicate the objectives of the force for the fiscal year 2019.

This will be accomplished through governmental and force policies as well as collaborating with senior public servants and other agencies.

Consideration will also be given to the views and proposals from members of the constabulary and members of the general public.
This plan reflects on the performance of the force during 2018, whereby a predominantly professional approach was adapted in responding and investigating reports of armed robberies and other violent crimes.

Police personnel often responded with bravery, maintaining high levels of professionalism, even though sometimes they had to face the challenges of being in hostile environments.

The police administration has seen a decrease in serious crimes for 2018.
The organization will continue to adopt the initiatives and activities which had a positive impact on the force and society on a whole.

In the areas where our activities were negatively impacted, we have reviewed strategized and adapted methodologies to meet those challenges.

The police administration is cognizant of the manner in which some officers abused their authority or performed their duties in an unprofessional manner.

We require the support of the general public whom we serve.
It is indisputable that the support and trust of the public is paramount to the success of the Police as we carry out our daily duties.

Restoring and maintaining public confidence and trust remains a high priority for the force.

The administration is still very concerned about the current high levels of crimes perpetrated by our youths, who, in many instances, are also victims of the criminal activities.

This is indicative of society’s failure.


Our society was built on Christian values and when these values are diminished, there is generally a lack of respect for authority and the rule of law.

The present crime situation is conducive to our tourism product.

The possibility of a tourist becoming a victim of crime is marginal; it is our intention to continue high visible policing in areas of Antigua and Barbuda that are frequented by tourists.
To this extent, the police will continue to work with the Ministry of Tourism and other agencies to provide a safe and secure environment.

The continued effective management of our resources is certainly high on our agenda for 2019.

High costs of policing must be matched by an equal high level of efficiency in relation to fiscal management.
Every aspect of police expenditure will be reviewed to ensure that our customers receive value for their money and that inefficient and uncreative practices are identified and discontinued.

It is priority that we, in collaboration with other agencies continue to make sure that we have proper road safety management mechanisms in place, as we strengthen the institutional and operational capacity to achieve national road safety; thus, reducing road fatalities.
- 566 - In an age of digital technology, where online communication is becoming the norm, internet users are becoming more and more prone to cyber-attacks.

Criminals are now using cyber space to commit crimes geared towards our financial institutions and other businesses.

In an effort to discourage these developing criminal activities, law enforcement agencies must collaborate to develop an effective resistor to these cyber-threats.
The requisite training must be sort in order for the organization to effectively reduce this scourge.

We are forging ahead with having the organization accreditation which will symbolize the organization professionalism, excellence and competence.

It is incumbent that demonstrates continued compliance to applicable standards, by tracking performances and identifying changes that are necessary to our procedures.
These plans will be subjected to scrutiny and amendments throughout the year in an effort to meet and reflect any operational changes in policing activities.

It is written in the required format as laid out in the Business Plan Template which is being circulated by the Ministry of Finance.

The plan has been drawn up to support the delivery of the Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda operational priorities for 2019.
Fire Department The Fire Brigade followed through with its mandate to save lives and property through effective Fire Suppression at the scenes of fires, and Fire Prevention Awareness in schools, hotels and the electronic media.

The Fire Brigade conducted several training exercises in various government and private agencies and facilitated field trips by several groups and educational institutions.
The department successfully carried out its mandate to suppress fires at the scene and to bring awareness to schools, hotels and the media.

Her Majesty’s Prison (HMP) The reduction of prison escapes and violent altercations among inmates at Her Majesty’s Prison was a result of improved management and better security.

The installation of CCTV cameras continued to significantly improve the security in 2018.
The Prison has seen the continued delivery of mandatory training that supports operational needs and changes to legislation, structures, policies and operating practices.

The Ministry will pursue a multi-dimensional approach in managing the overcrowding situation at Her Majesty’s Prison and implement measures to better intercept contraband including weapons, narcotics and cellular phones.

One such initiative is the expansion of the commissary to include a wider range of food items, juices and snacks.
Visitors to the prison can now purchase these items from the commissary instead of bringing them into the prison.

Given budgetary pressures, the opportunities for making the required investment in infrastructure and human resource is limited and therefore it is vital that HMP seek to collaborate in order to - 567 - maximise the use of existing resources and thus better meet the challenges of the future.

Work continues on the administrative block as well as the new kitchen.
Labour Department With the help of the International Labour Organisation (ILO), in July 2018 the Labour Department was able to train 13 conciliators and 14 employee and employer representatives in the art of effective negotiations.

This is a part of the continued effort to expeditiously dispose of Labour Relations matters.

There has already been a noted increase in the average number of matters settled at the Department.
Significantly, the inclusion of the Leeward Islands Airline Pilots Association (LIALPA) in the negotiation skills workshop has assisted in calming the Labour Relations between the association and the company to the degree that the company is now interested in company-wide negotiations skills training.
Similarly, the Labour Department has been successful at changing the age-old culture of passive conciliation ending in the expected recommendations sent after conciliation meetings have ended, now recommendations are made during the meeting.

Thus, parties take ownership for the outcome of matter and the true meaning of conciliation is being borne out.
One year into the revitalization of our weekly televised program Labour Matters, the Department can confirm wide listenership, positive feedback and viewer participation.

The program’s new format is a collaboration between the Labour Department, ABS TV, Employers Federation, ABWU, ATLU, ABFTU, other Ministries and social partners.
Two officers originally employed by the Barbuda Council and who acted as Labour Officers have now been officially employed by the Government of Antigua and Barbuda to head up the Labour office on Barbuda.

This is intended to improve customer service on the island and prepare for an anticipated increase in economic activity on the sister island.
The Labour Department, through One Stop Employment Centre (OSEC) has been partnering with private entities to offer job seekers free training in introduction to computer, Microsoft office, QuickBooks, cosmetology, hair braiding, wig making, professional makeup artistry, among others.

The Ministry has also been able to clear many years of outstanding dues to the ILO and thereby placing the twin island state in a position where we can fully benefit from the ILO’s vast resource base.
Trafficking in Persons Prevention (TIPP) The Trafficking in Persons Prevention Committee continued its education initiatives during 2018 which included the successful execution of its annual week of awareness activities in Antigua and Barbuda in September, 2018.

This year, the Committee added a new member of staff, Victim Care and Support Officer, to the recently established Secretariat.
Thus, the TIP Committee now has a fulltime Administrative Assistant and victim Care and Support Officer located within the Ministry.

- 568 - The Committee and the Task Forces executed several rescue operations during 2018 as well as targeted education and awareness campaign.

Other awareness activities are being planned to ensure that the public is aware of the signs, and effects of trafficking to enable them to make credible reports of what they see to prevent this form of “modern day slavery”.
The work of the Committee and its associated Task Forces has reaped rewards with Antigua and Barbuda being upgraded to Tier 2 on the US State Department’s Human Trafficking Report 2018.
Through educational programs, working closely with stakeholders and monitoring of the movement of people through our borders, the Government of Antigua and Barbuda, through the Trafficking in Persons Prevention Committee within the Ministry of Legal Affairs, Public Safety and Labour, will continue to spearhead the national anti-human trafficking efforts as mandated by law.
Conclusion The Ministry will continue to implement policies and programmes to enhance labour relations, prevent trafficking in persons, to ensure compliance with the Labour Laws of Antigua and Barbuda as well as other laws and its commitment to our international obligations.
Additionally, the ministry will strive to continually support and empower its men and women in the Law Enforcement Agencies in their efforts to reduce crime and make the streets of Antigua and Barbuda safe for all as well as create and maintain a climate which is conducive for peaceful industrial relations.

Critical Issues 1.
The Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda  Shortage of human resource in the various districts reducing patrol coverage and continuous investigations;  Delays of payment to business entities that provide goods and services;  Performance hampered by inadequate office space, resources and equipment;  Restructuring of Royal Police Force of Antigua and Barbuda;  Lengthy processing of administrative documents, which discourages business entities;  The physical and technological modernisation of the Criminal Record office (CRO).
 With the exception of the Liberta and Dockyard Police Stations, all of the other stations are currently in a state of disrepair.

 With the advancement of technology, a Photo Colour Laboratory is now a necessity for the Finger Print Department and a Police Record Management System for the tracking and analyzing of criminal activities.

 The budgeted allotment poses a serious constraint for the organization.
 Though budgeted for in the 2018 Estimate, the construction of the Bolans Police Stations is yet to materialise.

The repairs to Police Headquarters started and came to an abrupt end due to contractual issues.

 Training opportunities for personnel were diminished, due to financial constraints.

 Shortage of uniform, equipment and office supplies.

Efforts are also underway to permanently employ another Forensic Scientist/Toxicologist who is presently on the government job program with the ABFS.

Several other persons are presently in University studying for Forensic Science Degrees and are due to return to Antigua soon.

 Training is critical so that newly recruited staff will have the required capabilities and competencies to effectively carry out their duties.

Budgetary allocation for training is absolutely necessary.
 The present office space is inadequate to house the expected new staff, in addition to the lack of adequate furnishings and basic office equipment and lab equipment.

 Adequate budgetary allocations need to be put in place for the retrofitting of the temporary laboratory and the purchase of necessary equipment and tools.

 The Occupational Health and Safety (OHS) instruments to conduct health and safety tests at the ABFS need to be investigated and reviewed.
 Feasibility study must be conducted to assist in planning the way forward.

MINISTRY OVERVIEW 1.1 The Department The Constitution of Antigua and Barbuda, Section 66 Part 5, made 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 delay, bias, discrimination, discourtesy, failure to give reason 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 the enforcement of those rights so that there is fairness and justice at all times.

1.3 Mission To investigate, efficiently, complaints of the public against unfair administrative decisions of Government officials.
This is in keeping with the Ombudsman Act No.

5 of 1994.

1.4 Performance Review FY 2018 Parliamentary Oversight Objective 1: To investigate complaints made by clients against Government institutions and personnel The department accepted a range of complaints of varying degrees of complexity and initiated investigations as required by law.
Objective 2: To deliver educational programmes which will sensitize both officials of Government and prospective clients on the work of the Ombudsman The year 2017, the Office of the Ombudsman continued its mission of outreach within the community.

The Ombudsman visited the Boys’ Training School, Her Majesty’s Prison, National School Meals Facility, and the Defence Force.
The Ombudsman also attended “I AM ABLE”; a Conference for Persons who are “differently abled” as well as sat for interviews with students preparing for CAPE.

In July, the Office hosted a workshop entitled, “Identifying, Planning and Developing Strategies to Address Systemic Problems in the Workplace”, for Permanent Secretaries, Human Resources personnel, Officers of H.M.P, the Defence Force and the Police.

The facilitator was from Canada, an official in the Office of the Ombudsman.
The reviews were quite encouraging.

We hope to hold another workshop later to look at the laws which affect the day to day administration of the Ministries.

- 602 - Objective 3: To identify situations which have impacted negatively on the systemic operations of Government entities and to carry out own motion investigations The response to the request of the Office has shown some improvement.
However, there continues to be a problem where some Ministries have serious records management issues; where personnel files cannot be found or where records are kept in such conditions as to inhibit research.

There is need for a Records Management Center to control semi-current and non-current record.

The office is still limited by the absence of “own motion” or “own initiative”.

Hopefully, that will be corrected soon.

1.5 Summary of Critical Issues 1.


The building housing the Office of the Ombudsman is inadequate, being a three bed- room dwelling house.

It leaks, has cracks in the walls, and is in need of maintenance from the air-conditioning units to a face-lift and repair to the gate.

The Division is headed by the Telecommunications Office, a position created under the Telecommunications Act Cap 432, whose mandate is to carry out the responsibilities of the Act.

The position of Telecommunications Office has been vacant since 2013.
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 Centre.

It is anticipated that over the coming months, new Telecommunications law and regulations will be proclaimed to fully liberalize and govern the telecommunications 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.

b.

Promoting the telecommunications sector by encouraging economically efficient investment in and use of telecommunications infrastructure.

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.
Vision Mission - 664 - Structure diagram (Organisation Chart) Service Performance Review and Critical Issues Achievements In addition to its normal licensing activities, during the year 2018, 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 continued a number of ongoing work including, 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.

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 5 years (due to delayed enactment of the new legislation) - 665 - Telecommunications Officer (Vacant)Senior Technical OfficerTelecommunications Consultant Compliance Accounting Officer Telecommunications Engineer (X2) Technical Services Consultant Research Officer(GATE Corrdinator) 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 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.

$978,000 was approved in the in the 2017 for an upgrading of the Emergency Radio System and replacement of the E911 platform.
However due to a number unforeseen challenges, including the total loss of all equipment in Barbuda, a decision was made to revisit plans and to replace the entire emergency radio system in the upcoming year.
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  Management of the Universal Fund  Facilities access Regulations In 2017 an International Expert (IE) was made available by the International Telecommunications Union (ITU) to: “establish an effective institutional and governance structure which is able to meet the future needs and challenges of the sector while achieving the objectives of the new legislation and key stakeholders”.
The IE’s final report including a number of recommendations, including: • up to this number over a two year timescale • • The staff complement of the NTRC should be twelve posts, and the NTRC should build The structure of the NTRC should be profession based - 666 - A Transition Team should be appointed for about six months as soon as the Telecommunications Bill becomes law to manage the recruitment of staff and the establishment of the NTRC During this time, an Executive Director and staff for eight other posts should be recruited • • As this team comes into existence, it should initiate the NTRC’s high priority projects, including the setting of licence and spectrum fees, the issue of licences to public operators, and the production of regulations on infrastructure sharing and interconnection • This team, once established, should recruit staff for the remaining posts.
A Universal Service Administrator should be appointed once a suitable scheme has been approved by the Minister.

Once constituted, 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.
