AGP Executive Report

Last update: 3 hours ago

Housing & Construction: HAPPI home delivery is falling behind demand in Antigua and Barbuda, with the programme having built 190 homes but still facing manpower and resource limits, while the teachers’ union says some promised school works are still not done—especially at Ottos Comprehensive School. Education Infrastructure: Barbuda is set for a new primary school to ease post-Irma space constraints for nearly 200 students. Electric Mobility Skills: Antigua and Barbuda is investing EC$346,000 in an electric vehicle training laboratory under ABCAS, with hybrid/electric service and repair training for local instructors and technicians. Agriculture & Food Security: Antigua and Barbuda received a record 4,000-bag fertilizer shipment from Morocco, alongside broader support for land, water infrastructure, irrigation, and farming inputs to boost local food production. Roads & CHOGM Prep: CHOGM roadworks are accelerating, including resurfacing plans around the Performing Arts Centre and utility pipe upgrades to avoid re-excavation. Digital Skills: OECS scholarship applications for the Advanced Digital Skills programme open Sept. 10, targeting AI, cybersecurity, cloud, data analytics and more. Deep-Sea Mining Drafting: Antigua and Barbuda is drafting laws to prepare for possible deep-sea mining, as concerns grow over monitoring capacity and environmental risks. Shipping & Trade: A bulk carrier, Sacura, flagged under Antigua and Barbuda, departed Portland Port bound for Portugal, underscoring the island’s maritime links. Tourism Promotion: Antigua and Barbuda’s Tourism Authority brought Carnival to Brooklyn’s West Indian American Day Parade via major U.S. media exposure. Cost of Living: Inflation hit 4.4% in July as communication costs jumped 23.1%, adding pressure to household budgets.
