Youth Apprenticeship Programme in Agriculture 1 INTRODUCTION 1. Tobago has not been spared from the adverse economic effects that the country encountered due to lower commodity prices in the energy sector that translated into a reduction in Government Revenue. The THA has made the necessary adjustments to adapt to the changing national and international realities. 2. Nevertheless, another critical issue that has emerged in the disruption of the smooth movement of people, goods and services between the islands of Trinidad and Tobago, is the uncertainty of both the air and sea bridges. This issue is of paramount importance given its impact on productivity and on facilitating investment as well as on the overall economic resilience of the island. 3. In order to maintain the quality of life for Tobagonians and reduce the possible negative social impacts in this period of challenging macro-economic conditions, greater emphasis will be placed on improving efficiency in the delivery of public goods and services as well as eliminating wastage. 4. The macro-economic framework for the continued development of the island is hinged on both the rejuvenation of the policy environment that treats with the expiration of the Comprehensive Economic Development Plan (CEDP 2.0) as well as the policy priorities identified by the new Executive of the Tobago House of Assembly. The new policy environment mandates a reconciliation of the two approaches within the context of the National Development Strategy 2016-2030 (Vision 2030), focusing on the areas highlighted in Table I below: Table 1: Composite of Policy Environment to Drive Development in Tobago Source: Adapted from the CEDP 2.0 and THA 2018 Budget Statement New Policy Framework Cross-cutting Areas CEDP SPA Title 1. Agriculture and Food Production Community Development 1. Branding Tobago Clean Green Safe and Serene 2.Tourism Development Public Sector Reform and Innovation 2. Good Governance and Institutional Reform 3. Education Rural Development 3. Business Development and Entrepreneurship 4. Specialised Services Dynamic Health Sector 4. Human Capital Development 5. Light Manufacturing 5. Social Development and Resilience 6. Infrastructure and Public Utilities 7. Enhanced Safety and Security 8. Environmental Sustainability 2 5. A preliminary review of the Tobago PSIP within the context of the CEDP, showed a greater emphasis being given to infrastructure and civil works across the various Divisions of the Tobago House of Assembly. The revised policy direction and the strategic shifts towards innovation and efficiency in the infrastructure projects will free scarce resources for the other priorities including enhancing social protection. 6. The new strategic direction is geared towards improving productivity and enhancing project management skills in order to bring many long-standing projects to completion and maximize the impact of PSIP spending in Tobago. 7. Human Capital Development, Safety and Security and Branding Tobago Clean Green Safe and Serene are also immediate areas of focus in terms of expanding the Tobago PSIP as well as creating linkages with the other Strategic Priority Areas. Further, even as unemployment remains below 5 percent and the number of persons with jobs reached 32,000 in 2016, there remains pockets of vulnerable citizens. This highlights the need for sophisticated research, evidenced- based policy and targeting to ensure that the resources meet the needs of the vulnerable groups in the society. This also calls for the expansion of the social safety net including primary health coverage. 8. Enhancing safety and security is also of priority. The application of social and community- based interventions are necessary to assist law enforcement in the execution of their mandate. Coordination between all stakeholders is therefore a critical success factor. 9. The THA has also highlighted in its budget estimates, other areas of sectoral focus such as Tourism, Agriculture, Health, Education, Youth Development, Housing and Community Development. At the macro-level, the main areas of focus will include job creation, strategic investment in infrastructure, diversification and environmental sustainability. These key elements along with the priorities of economic diversification and productivity, will drive the strategic focus of the Tobago PSIP for the next fiscal year. 3 OVERVIEW 10. In fiscal 2017, a total of $288.59 million was allocated to the THA for the funding of the PSIP programmes on the island. Table 2 below shows the summary of the distribution of the PSIP allocation by Sectors and the commensurate variation made to the revised allocation. The increases in the revised allocations are outlined as follows:  Economic Infrastructure from $91.9 million to $176.9 million  Social Infrastructure from $117.9 million to $123.1 million  Multi-sectoral and Other Services from $78.7 million to $84.6 million Table 2: Distribution of PSIP Allocation by Sectors Sector Original Allocation Revised Allocation TT$M % TT$M % Pre-Investment 0 0 0 0 Productive Sectors 0 0 99.7 0.0 Economic Infrastructure 91.9 31.8 176.9 46.0 Social Infrastructure 117.9 40.9 123.1 32.0 Multi-Sectoral and Other Services 78.7 27.3 84.6 22.0 TOTAL 288.5 100 384.8 100 Source: Budget Department, Division of Finance and Enterprise Development 11. The Assembly increased the allocation by an additional $96.3 million with transfers from recurrent expenditure based on a reprioritisation of the variable cost expenditure heads. As a result, the revised allocation was $384.8 million for the developmental programme. Priority projects were assigned $206.9 million of the revised allocation of $384.8 million which accounted for 53.7 percent of the revised allocation. 12. Further, the expenditure of $187.9 million on these priority projects, represented a 90.8 percent utilisation rate as at May 2017. This performance shows that much more could have been spent on the development programme and highlights the development needs of the island and the efficient and effective use of government funds. It also demonstrates the reality of the constraints in which the Assembly operates as with the rest of the nation. 4 13. The PSIP Report 2017 summarises the details of the major accomplishments of the various Divisions, sectors and heads of expenditure. Ultimately, the Report provides the initial glance into the careful re-alignment of resources to best meet the needs of the island and its people. Overall, expenditure at the end of August 2017 totalled $384.8 million and was distributed proportionally to the revised allocations. PART I: REVIEW OF THE PUBLIC SECTOR INVESTMENT PROGRAMME 2017 6 DEVELOPMENT THEME -BUILDING GLOBALLY COMPETITIVE BUSINESSES Agriculture, Fisheries, Forestry 14. An allocation of $38.4 million was provided to facilitate the development of the Agriculture Sector in Tobago. Food security continues to be a major goal of the THA and the overall objectives of the sector are:  reducing the food price inflation  reducing the dependence on external sources for basic food items  creating sustainable long-term employment  increasing its contribution to GDP 15. The THA facilitated the continuation of some key initiatives in an effort to address known challenges, these included:  encouraging youth participation through the Youth Apprenticeship Programme in Agriculture (YAPA), 140 participants graduated and there are now 56 enrolled  increasing agricultural production, distribution and access  providing technical advice to crop and livestock farmers  encouraging the consumption of healthy, locally produced food by supporting the development of home gardens  creating linkages between agriculture and other sectors  providing assistance with registration and applications for incentives 16. Other significant achievements in fiscal 2017 were as follows:  operationalisation of the packing house facility which was commissioned in April 2016  granting of incentives amounting to $0.9 million to 125 farmers  registration of 180 new farmers  establishment of 229 home gardens  development and creation of 32 new access roads 7  production and distribution of 10,402 tissue cultured plants and disease free seedlings to local farmers for the period June 2016 to May 2017  availability of tissue culture plants for crops such as dasheen, yam, eddoes, plantain and bananas to farmers at affordable prices 8 DEVELOPMENT THEME - IMPROVING PRODUCTIVITY THROUGH QUALITY INFRASTRUCTURE AND TRANSPORT Electricity and Energy 17. The THA together with the Trinidad and Tobago Electricity Commission continues to make an impact on safety, through its street lighting project in targeted rural communities. Street lamps were installed in 23 locations at a total cost of $0.5 million. Communities that benefitted from this initiative were:  Belmont Road, Hope  Pig Farm Road, Goldsborough  Golden Lane  Adelphi Road, Mason Hall  Simon Lawrence Trace, Bethel Roads and Bridges 18. In fiscal 2017, the THA forged ahead with its plans to upgrade bridges in Tobago. Work has begun on the Milford Road Bridge in Lambeau. The project is estimated to cost $18.7 million. 19. A total of 31 main and secondary roads were resurfaced across the island at a cost of $64 million. Additionally, a sidewalk was completed from John Dial to Hope in order to improve the safety of pedestrians who use this busy intersection of the Windward Road. 20. Major upgrades were also undertaken on the Orange Hill Road from the Mt. Marie intersection to the Crusoe By-Pass. Works completed included the provision of additional lanes for vehicular traffic, improved sidewalk for pedestrians and resurfaced carriage way. This was completed at a cost of $5 million. 9 Drainage 21. The increased intensities of rain and extreme weather events due to climate change resulted in more instances of flooding, landslides and related hazards. As such the THA must pay greater attention to drainage. 22. Major improvement works, inclusive of box drains, curb and slipper drains, retaining walls, head walls, culverts, road crossings and widened carriageways were carried out on 17 secondary roads across the island. To this end, the sum of $0.4 million was expended. 23. Several of the roads are at various stages of completion. Some of the works undertaken are as follows:  All Fields Trace at Thompson Trace, Lowlands - to control the flow of run off, a box drain was constructed  Farm Road, Mason Hall - the construction of box drains 1500 ft. by 4 ft., 2 culverts 20 ft. by 4 ft., Curb and slipper Drain and Crossing  Friends field Development (Phase 2) - the laying of plastic cylinders, crossings, and the construction of box drains, curb and slipper drain and the construction of box drain to connect to the river  Blackman Trace, Delaford - the construction of box drain and retaining wall  Speyside Hill - construction of a major retaining wall 24.
