AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Child Protection Push: Circle of Friends is urging Dominica to strengthen a coordinated child protection network after the death of 16-year-old Jerbiah Paul of Portsmouth, calling on organisations to check whether children feel safe reporting threats and whether services reach the most vulnerable. Health & Safety Accountability: In a related statement, Minister of State Dr. Cassandra Williams says the tragedy must drive action to prevent normalized abuse and exploitation of girls and young women. Mental Health Demand: Dominica recorded 398 admissions to the Acute Psychiatric Unit between May 2023 and May 2024, with local experts pointing to limited specialist staffing and calls for more community-based support. Public Health Through Prevention: OECS, with UNICEF support, launched a Regional Child Policy and Strategic Plan 2026–2032 built on a whole-of-the-child approach to protect and support children across health, education, justice, and social services. Local Health Infrastructure Gap: A completed Gurigo mortuary in Bongo District has sat unused for over six years, forcing families to travel to Bolgatanga despite public funds spent. Road Safety: A vehicle accident near the Coast Guard Base in Fond Cole reportedly sent the driver to China Friendship Hospital after the car overturned. Food & Nutrition Security: Dominica’s Mini Seasoning Pepper Programme is showing early results, with one farmer harvesting over 250 pounds of seasoning pepper. Youth Development: IHARF’s Girlhood Summer Leadership Bootcamp wrapped up, training adolescent girls in wellbeing, relationships, sexual and reproductive health, leadership, and advocacy. Wellness Tourism Spotlight: Dominica is being promoted as a wellness destination, with visitors encouraged to choose nature-led experiences over “sun-and-buffet” routines.
