AGP Executive Report

Last update: 9 hours ago

Back-to-School Relief: St. Kitts and Nevis has launched its 2026–2027 Back-to-School Voucher Programme, providing EC$250 per eligible child (applications open Aug. 17 to Dec. 31) to help cover uniforms and supplies, with parents required to use a JAD Digital Wallet and confirm school enrollment. Regional Policy Capacity: The OECS says it has boosted evidence-based policymaking for services trade by rolling out UNCTAD’s TiSSTAT to improve services trade data and export planning across member states. Energy & Investment: Nevis has made a US$5.9 million down payment to Icelandic Drilling Company to begin mobilising a geothermal rig, with a Nevis team set to inspect the equipment in Iceland before shipment. Health System Modernisation: The Ministry of Health has started data entry into a centralised Health Workforce Database (CHWD+) (DHIS2-based) with PAHO/WHO support, aiming for stronger workforce planning. Justice & Sentencing: The DPP says he will study a Privy Council ruling and advise the AG to revisit mandatory minimum sentences for firearm and sexual offences. Public Safety: Authorities seized cocaine and cannabis from the MV C Elizabeth at the deep-water port, and separately charged Adonis Concepcion after a firearm contraband incident tied to a Harris Village checkpoint. Judicial Appointments: Two High Court judges are being reassigned in September, with replacements arriving to take up duties in St. Kitts and Nevis. Community & Culture: Emmy-winning journalist Jego Armstrong has been named featured speaker for the Prime Minister’s Independence Lecture Series.
