The NDP will make it a national mission to create more and better paid jobs. We will invest in education and skills training to prepare people for the jobs of today, for example creating the TVET centre of excellence.
Crime and violence are out of control. Homicide, robbery and praedial larceny are a blight on so many communities. We have a plan to tackle crime.
We have a plan to build the four pillars of the economy: tourism, agriculture, the blue economy and the new economy.
We want to create a health service that meets the needs of all and leaves no one behind. We will create a National Health Insurance Programme to provide coverage for all, establish a Medicines Purchase Fund to ensure critical medicines are available and increase investment in frontline services.
We need to improve rapidly our infrastructure across the country. First, it’s critical to our national economic growth that farmers, businesses and others can get produce across the country.
North Leeward is a vibrant community filled with potential. However, we face challenges that have been overlooked for too long. Together, we can revitalize our region and ensure a brighter future for our families, children, and seniors.
