AGP Executive Report

Last update: 11 hours ago

Child Protection & Community Safety: Minister of State Dr. Cassandra Williams mourned the death of 16-year-old Jerbiah Paul of Portsmouth, saying police have charged a suspect with murder and urging parents and guardians to take stronger responsibility for protecting children. Regional Child Policy: The OECS, with UNICEF support, unveiled a Regional Child Policy and Strategic Plan 2026–2032, built on a whole-of-the-child approach and designed to translate into real action across health, education, justice, protection and social support. Mental Health Demand: Dominica recorded 398 acute psychiatric admissions to the Acute Psychiatric Unit between May 2023 and May 2024, with calls for expanded community-based emotional support as specialist staffing remains limited. Wellness & Tourism (Health Angle): Dominica is being promoted as a wellness destination, with visitors encouraged to explore nature-based healing experiences tied to local botanicals and rainforest settings. Agriculture & Nutrition: The Ministry highlighted early results from its Mini Seasoning Pepper Programme, with a Giraudel farmer harvesting over 250 pounds to support food and nutrition security. Public Health Infrastructure (Local): Opposition leader Jesma Paul-Victor renewed calls to modernize and expand the Salisbury Health Centre, including maternal and child services, accessible design, and community wellness and mental health support. Citizenship-by-Investment Scrutiny: New claims and debate continue around CBI—ranging from concerns about declining revenue to allegations of illegal discounting—amid wider questions about how health and other services are funded.
