AGP Executive Report

Last update: 10 hours ago

Geothermal & Power Reliability: PM Skerrit says Dominica is now feeding geothermal energy onto the national grid, but outages continue during commissioning—testing and integration are still ongoing, with promises of lower rates and better reliability once fully operational. Tourism & Marketing: Discover Dominica Authority named Wendy Lake as Destination Marketing Manager (starting June 1) to push brand and trade partnerships as nature and wellness demand grows; it also launched “Summer the Nature Island Way” with eight curated itineraries to encourage longer stays. Environment & Biodiversity Funding: The Ministry of Environment has started demarcating Morne Diablotin National Park and creating a buffer zone under the GEF/World Bank LETBP project; meanwhile DNCTF awarded over US$100,000 to biodiversity and ecosystem protection projects, including a rapid response to lethal yellowing disease. Labour & Skills: DTUC secured about US$6,000 from the ILO to complete its strategic plan and seek dialogue with government on labour issues; OECS services-sector training is set for June 29–July 2 in Antigua and Barbuda. Agriculture & Food Security: IICA highlighted support for farmers and agribusinesses at its accountability seminar, while CARICOM opened nominations for the 2026 CARICOM Farmer of the Year and Young Farmer awards. Politics & Local Economy: Roseau North by-election moves forward after Miriam Blanchard’s resignation for medical reasons; DLP selected Ashma McDougall as its candidate.
