The overall program objective of the OECS Education Development Project is to build human capital in the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) which in turn will contribute to the diversification of their economy and more sustainable growth. St. Lucia and St. Kitts and Nevis are the first of the OECS countries to join the program. There are three main project components. The first increases equitable access and equity in secondary education, particularly in poor rural communities, by constructing a new secondary school in St. Kitts and providing equipment, furniture, and materials; and expanding the school meals program in secondary schools. The second component comprises 4 subcomponents, which 1) develop curriculum for Forms i-III and provide instructional guides, textbooks, ad other resource materials; train trainers/educators in select areas, including fellowships, and development of a coordinated teacher appraisal system; 2) establish learning resource centers, and expand and upgrade learning centers, including science and information technology labs; 3) elaborate program to support participation of disadvantaged students, and related teacher development in special education; and, 4) provide school-based improvement projects, and extra-curricular activities. The third component expands the education management information system, including networking of schools and EMIS training.

The Emergency Recovery and Disaster Management Program Project for the countries comprising the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States--St. Kitts & Nevis, St. Lucia, Dominica, Grenada, and St. Vincent & the Grenadines--will finance lending operations in each of the five mentioned countries with the objects of 1) fortifying, or reconstructing and rehabilitating key economic and social infrastructure and facilities to minimize damage or disruption caused by future natural and man-made disasters and to speed emergency recovery following such disasters; and 2) strengthening the countries' institutional capacities to prepare for and respond to disaster emergencies efficiently and effectively. Assistance to St. Kitts & Nevis consists in particular of a fast disbursing loan for essential imports. The countries are aided in rebuilding and rehabilitating infrastructure related to hospitals, shelters, water supply, electricity, roads and coastal protection, and airports, thereby restoring public services. Similarly, the five countries are helped in strengthening their emergency preparedness and response systems; and in training, technology, and equipment for institutional strengthening.

The project Agricultural Development Support is now in the pipeline. To see more information, see the project information in the World Bank project database

The project is designed to assist in improving the pace and diversity of agricultural development through : i) changes in the incentive framework, which are aimed at providing security of landownership and migrant labor to work in agriculture (particularly in the sugar industry); ii) improvements in agricultural support services and the Government's agricultural planning capacity; and iii) major changes in the operation of the state-run sugar industry. Key agricultural development components comprise a land administration program, consisting of a new leasehold titling system, cadastral mapping and land surveying; strengthening of the Department of Agriculture's extension and land services; and agricultural planning, including market research and investment promotion. The sugar industry component would support the engagement of a small management team to keep the mill operating, and to introduce much needed operational improvements.

This report combines five emergency recovery programs for five member states of the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States--Dominica, Grenada, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, and St. Vincent and the Grenadines. The development objectives of these five Bank operations are: 1) to help safeguard and maintain the productive capacity of the countries' tourism sectors, notably by securing the industry's emergency needs in the aftermath of the September 11 events; 2) to enhance security at key airport and seaport facilities in line with international standards, with the aim of preventing further acts of terrorism and safeguarding the sub-region's image as a safe tourist destination; and 3) to strengthen the countries' institutional capacity to develop and implement security plans, procedures, and measures as mandated by the international civil aviation and marine transport regulatory agencies. There are two main project components. The first finances one critical import, low sulfur diesel fuel for electricity generation, which is critical to the maintenance of economic activity in the tourism industry by ensuring that the energy-intensive tourism facilities are kept operational during the recovery period. The second component finances the physical and technical resources needed for national port and aviation authorities, as well as individual airports and seaports, to upgrade security arrangements at key facilities and meet international regulations.
