Last update: 11 hours ago

Environment & Resilience: St. Kitts has begun preparations for a National Sargassum Management Project, with the Agriculture Ministry equipping tractors for coastal extraction and training operators, under UNDP with Japan partnership, to protect communities, marine life, and livelihoods. Gender Governance: With UNESCO support, the Department of Gender Affairs is strengthening monitoring and accountability for the National Gender Policy 2025–2030, using a new MELF and a Gender Focal Point Committee to track results across ministries. Public Health & Regional Business: The AfriCaribbean Trade and Investment Forum (ACTIF 2026) has been postponed due to evolving public health concerns in parts of Africa, with organisers citing caution for delegates’ safety. Healthcare Administration: The Ministry of Health has appointed a new Director of Health Institutions and a Director of Institutional Nursing Services amid mounting public pressure over system failures since 2023. Courts & Accountability: The Eastern Caribbean Court of Appeal upheld enforcement in the Ramsbury v Ocean View dispute but struck down a committal provision after finding the state failed its duty of candour. Infrastructure & Jobs: Nevis has started work on expanding Vance W. Amory International Airport, including a runway extension and new terminal and fire-fighting facilities, while St. Kitts broke ground on a Port Zante cruise terminal aimed at cruise home-porting by Nov 2027. Security & Immigration Policy: The government says it will introduce biometric registration for Citizenship by Investment economic citizens by next August to strengthen programme integrity as international scrutiny grows. Regional Inclusion: Prime Minister Terrance Drew has been named to chair a CARICOM committee on issues affecting Rastafarians across the region.
