  • Grenada hosts tax administration workshop on Compliance Risk Management

    Grenada hosts tax administration workshop on Compliance Risk Management

    Starting in April 2026, the Caribbean island nation of Grenada will play host to a major regional capacity-building event focused on modernizing tax governance across the bloc. The four-day workshop on compliance risk management, scheduled to run from April 20 to 23, is organized by the Inland Revenue Division (IRD) under Grenada’s Ministry of Finance, and forms an official activity of the Global Public Finance Partnership’s second Community of Practice (COP#2).

    The event will be hosted at the Radisson Grenada Beach Resort, and has secured technical and institutional support from the Fiscal Affairs Department of the International Monetary Fund (IMF-FAD). It will bring together senior tax administration leaders and specialized technical experts from tax authorities across every corner of the Caribbean, uniting stakeholders around a shared goal of reinforcing regional compliance risk management (CRM) frameworks. The core objective of the initiative is to boost the overall effectiveness, operational efficiency, and procedural fairness of tax administration systems across all participating Caribbean jurisdictions.

    Sheena Lewis, Comptroller of Grenada’s Inland Revenue Division, emphasized the transformative potential of the gathering for the region. “This workshop represents a pivotal step in our collective effort to modernize tax administration across the Caribbean,” Lewis stated. “By leveraging the Community of Practice framework, we are building a regional network of expertise to move toward a data-driven, risk-based approach that ensures fairness for all taxpayers.”

    Over the course of the four-day event, participants will take part in a structured program of deep-dive technical sessions and peer-led country case presentations. These activities are intentionally designed to encourage open cross-border knowledge sharing and collaborative practical problem-solving for common tax administration challenges the region faces. The workshop will conclude on its final day with two key deliverables: participating jurisdictions will draft individual country-specific action plans to implement new CRM practices, and attendees will collectively map out ongoing opportunities for long-term peer-to-peer collaboration across regional tax agencies.

    Grenada’s IRD has reaffirmed its long-standing commitment to upholding transparent, efficient, and equitable tax administration, and underscored its dedication to continuing partnership with both regional and global stakeholders to strengthen public financial management systems across the entire Caribbean region.

  • Grenadians welcome First Caribbean Chinese Food Festival

    Grenadians welcome First Caribbean Chinese Food Festival

    On a pleasant Saturday in mid-April, the fragrant scents of sizzling sesame oil and steam rising from freshly steamed buns drifted across Grenada’s Camerhogne Park, drawing hundreds of curious local attendees to a historic cultural event. April 18 marked the inaugural staging of ‘A Taste of China in the Caribbean’ Food Festival, a groundbreaking cross-cultural gathering that brought authentic Chinese culinary tradition directly to Caribbean shores, attracting more than 400 Grenadian locals eager to experience new flavors and cultural exchange.

    In his opening remarks at the festival, H.E. Yang Shu, Ambassador of the People’s Republic of China to Grenada, emphasized that food-centric cultural events serve as a powerful bridge connecting the people of China and Grenada. Beyond being a basic daily necessity, food functions as a living expression of a nation’s culture and history, he noted. The festival was co-hosted by the Chinese Embassy in Grenada and the World Federation of Chinese Catering Industry, designed to offer a relaxed, welcoming space for visitors of all ages to explore China’s diverse culinary and cultural traditions. All festival dishes were offered as free samples to attendees, making the experience accessible to every member of the local community. To ensure complete authenticity, a team of master chefs traveled specifically from China to Grenada for the event, bringing decades of specialized culinary expertise to the Caribbean.

    The menu curated for the festival highlighted a range of classic and regional Chinese specialties, each carrying unique cultural meaning while even adapting to local ingredients. One standout dish was Crispy Shrimp Balls with Creamy Sauce, a perfect illustration of Chinese cuisine’s remarkable flexibility: the recipe uses fresh local Grenadian shrimp, reimagined through traditional Chinese cooking methods and flavor profiles. For dessert, attendees could sample Handmade Pumpkin Lattice, a delicate, crisp treat rooted in southern Chinese home cooking, where pumpkin has long symbolized prosperity and abundant harvests. Coconut Rice Balls, a sweet sticky snack, fit perfectly into the warm Caribbean climate, offering a familiar flavor profile that felt natural to local palates. Jiangnan Spring Rolls, named for the fertile region south of the Yangtze River, are a longstanding symbol of spring’s arrival and new beginnings. Fried Rice with Pickled Radish transformed humble, comforting ingredients into a standout dish through the mastery of wok hei—the distinctive smoky aroma that only a superheated wok can create. Rounding out the offerings were Fluffy Steamed Beef Buns, soft, pillowy, and beloved across China, leaving many first-time tasters deeply impressed.

    Beyond the culinary experiences, the festival offered attendees a chance to engage with other dimensions of traditional Chinese culture. Between sampling dishes, the crowd gathered to watch a dynamic Chinese martial arts demonstration that highlighted the precision, discipline, and intentionality at the core of kung fu tradition. The powerful, controlled movements of the performers created a striking but complementary contrast to the laid-back picnic atmosphere of the park. More than just a physical performance, the demonstration reflected the centuries-old Chinese philosophy of balancing mind and body, a value that permeates many aspects of Chinese cultural life.

    The overall atmosphere of the day was warm and relaxed, with community connection at its core. Local families spread out across the park’s grassy areas with plates piled high with dishes, while local journalists and media representatives spoke with visiting chefs about their craft, recipes, and culinary backgrounds. For the vast majority of attendees, the festival marked the first time they had directly experienced authentic Chinese cuisine and engaged firsthand with the cultural traditions behind the food. One local attendee, who was enjoying a serving of fried rice during the event, shared that the day offered a wonderful mix of great food and new experiences. “Good food, and something a little different. We hope they do this again,” they said. The event has laid a strong foundation for future cultural exchange initiatives between China and Grenada, opening new doors for people-to-people connection between the two nations.

  • 12 farmers receive sprinkler irrigation training

    12 farmers receive sprinkler irrigation training

    Agricultural producers across the twin islands of Carriacou and Petite Martinique have emerged from specialized hands-on training with new technical skills and critical equipment to boost crop output and strengthen their defenses against the growing impacts of climate change. The initiative focused on training farmers to properly install and maintain two water-efficient irrigation systems: micro-sprinklers and drip irrigation, and follows the recent distribution of purpose-built irrigation hardware to 12 participating producers — seven from Carriacou and five from Petite Martinique.

    Both the equipment donation and technical training were made available through the Challenge Fund for Agriculture (CFA), a core component of Grenada’s national Climate-Resilient Water Sector (G-CREWS) project. The ongoing program prioritizes expanding access to water-smart agricultural technologies across the country, encompassing not just micro-sprinkler and drip systems, but also infrastructure for rainwater harvesting. The overarching goal of these investments is to shore up long-term resilience in Grenada’s agriculture sector, which is disproportionately vulnerable to shifting weather patterns linked to climate change.

    For island communities like Carriacou and Petite Martinique, where chronic water scarcity and extended dry seasons have long hammered agricultural yields, the new irrigation systems deliver a game-changing improvement to farm operations. Unlike traditional irrigation methods that waste large volumes of water through evaporation or runoff, the technologies deployed through G-CREWS deliver water directly to crop root zones with pinpoint accuracy. This cuts down on water loss dramatically while boosting overall farm efficiency. Beyond immediate production gains, the training has also built lasting local capacity: participating producers now have the skills to independently install, adjust, and repair their own irrigation systems without relying on external support.

    Many beneficiary farmers have already highlighted the tangible benefits the program will bring to their operations. Rohan Thomas, one of the participating producers, noted that the training provided practical, actionable knowledge that will transform how he farms. “Thanks to the G-CREWS project. The training was very informative. I learnt a lot. It should help us, as farmers, in a great way. First, in conserving water and farming year-round,” Thomas said.

    Fellow beneficiary Kurt Quashie echoed that appreciation, emphasizing that the timing of the equipment and training could not have been better, aligned as it is with the annual dry season. “The equipment comes at a good time, now that it is the dry season. It will help towards improving food security in the near future,” Quashie explained.

    Kaitlyn Weekes, who supported the rollout of the new irrigation systems, outlined the broader sector-wide benefits the technology will deliver for the two islands. “It is very important that we have this system in which we can water our plants and get them growing at a faster rate. This system drops the water directly into the roots of the plants, resulting in increased production over time,” Weekes said.

    Elhaddaji Lahcen, the training facilitator from Agile Water Solutions, the private firm that led the technical instruction, explained that drip and micro-sprinkler systems stand out as the most water-efficient irrigation solutions available for small-scale producers in arid and water-scarce regions. “The only system that can save water right now on irrigation is drip irrigation and micro-sprinklers, but more drip irrigation. We did a small demonstration on the installation of the drip irrigation system, while reminding farmers of the importance of securing spare parts for repair needs,” Lahcen said.

    Derek Charles, a CFA consultant attached to the Grenada Development Bank, reported that participating farmers showed high engagement and curiosity throughout the training process. In addition to irrigation hardware, Charles noted that several producers also received new water storage tanks to support on-farm rainwater harvesting, expanding the resilience benefits of the program. “They had hands-on experience with the layout of the lines and checking the pressure within the lines. From this training we are sure, they would be able to install their own lines,” Charles said.

    The G-CREWS project is a collaborative climate initiative, with joint resourcing from the Green Climate Fund (GCF), the German Federal Ministry for the Environment, Climate Action, Nature Conservation and Nuclear Safety (BMUKK) through its International Climate Initiative (IKI), and the Government of Grenada. The project’s core mandate is to advance climate resilience across Grenada’s entire water sector through systemic, multi-level transformation that drives a long-term shift in how the country approaches climate adaptation and builds national resilience.

  • Work commences on Sauteurs Health Centre

    Work commences on Sauteurs Health Centre

    Grenada’s Ministry of Health has formally launched construction on the much-anticipated Sauteurs Health Centre redevelopment project, marking a tangible milestone in the government’s plan to overhaul the country’s primary healthcare infrastructure.

    Health Minister Philip Telesford shared his enthusiasm at the launch of the project, thanking construction crews for their early commitment to the work. He framed the development as a critical leap forward for communities across Sauteurs and its neighboring areas, where residents have waited years for improved local healthcare access. Unlike past pledges that never moved past the planning stage, Telesford emphasized that the project is already well underway, with active work happening on site every day.

    According to the minister, construction teams have already made significant early progress: demolition work is ongoing across all three existing buildings on the site, with refurbishment for one structure’s roof already started. These visible early gains, he noted, prove the project is delivering on its promises to the local community.

    When complete, the upgraded facility will offer patients a far more comfortable, welcoming care environment, matching Grenada’s goal of aligning high-quality physical infrastructure with the country’s skilled nursing and physician workforce. Telesford also outlined the broader pipeline of primary healthcare improvements across the country: following the completion of the Sauteurs project, work will begin on upgrades to the Grand Bras Health Centre, with the St David Health Centre redevelopment set to follow immediately after.

    As part of the transition process for upcoming projects, Telesford urged local residents to bear with temporary disruptions to services. The Grand Bras Health Centre will temporarily relocate its services during its own renovation work, a shift that may cause minor short-term inconvenience for patients. The minister stressed that these temporary disruptions are a necessary tradeoff for long-term improvements to primary care across the country, and are aligned with the ministry’s core commitment to raising care standards at all local health facilities.

    The Sauteurs Health Centre project is on track for steady progress, with completion targeted for the coming months. The Ministry of Health confirmed it will maintain rigorous oversight throughout construction to ensure the finished facility meets the highest possible standards for patient care and service delivery.

Our participation at WTM Latin America has laid a solid foundation for ongoing engagement and future business conversion across the region.”

    Overall, GTA’s participation in WTM Latin America 2026 underscores the authority’s ongoing commitment to targeted market development, strategic regional and global partnerships, and consistent brand visibility as it works to drive diversified, sustainable tourism growth across Grenada, Carriacou and Petite Martinique.

  • World Bank mission completed for Grenada Resilience Improvement Project

    World Bank mission completed for Grenada Resilience Improvement Project

    Grenada’s ambitious climate resilience infrastructure initiative, the Grenada Resilience Improvement Project (GRIP), has moved into a critical advanced phase, marking multiple key milestones for the $15 million World Bank-backed program. The project, which focuses on strengthening disaster preparedness and climate-resilient infrastructure for three local communities, recently held a productive implementation support mission that brought together GRIP’s project team, Grenadian government officials, and World Bank representatives. The meeting, which included both in-person site visits on the island and virtual working sessions, saw the GRIP team share comprehensive progress updates, while the World Bank team provided targeted feedback and strategic guidance to shape the project’s next phase. Attendees described the discussion as a constructive exchange that aligned all stakeholders on the path forward.

    This collaborative session came at a particularly pivotal moment for the project, as on-the-ground civil work has officially commenced at the Balthazar Bridge site. The first component of work to launch is construction of a temporary pedestrian bridge, designed to keep local residents safely crossing the adjacent river during full reconstruction of the main permanent bridge. Local contractor Farray Construction Ltd. has already begun building the bridge’s abutments, with installation of the full pedestrian bridge set to begin once foundation work is complete.

    Several major components of the project have already hit key milestones in recent weeks. Procurement for both coastal infrastructure upgrades and the full Balthazar Bridge reconstruction has been successfully wrapped up, with formal contract awards set to be announced in the near term. Additionally, four new permanent homes have already been completed for Project Affected Persons (PAPs) in Saab, St. Andrew, where existing residential properties fall within the footprint of the new bridge development. These new homes were constructed under the project’s Build Back Better Initiative, which prioritizes safer, more resilient housing for impacted community members.

    Looking ahead, the GRIP project management team, hosted by Grenada’s Ministry of Mobilisation, Implementation and Transformation (MIT), will maintain its close coordination with the World Bank team to keep progress on track. The next phase of the project will include expanded community engagement sessions to share regular progress updates with local residents, and significant increases in on-site mobilization are expected throughout the second quarter of this year.

    First launched as a government-led initiative backed by $15 million in World Bank funding, GRIP’s core mission is to boost Grenada’s ability to withstand climate-related disasters by upgrading critical infrastructure and strengthening local community disaster preparedness capacity. When complete, the project will deliver long-term benefits to three targeted Grenadian communities: Balthazar, Soubise, and Marquis.

  • Caribbean urged to prepare for hotter, drier conditions

    Caribbean urged to prepare for hotter, drier conditions

    Two leading Caribbean climate research institutions, the Caribbean Institute of Meteorology and Hydrology (CIMH) and the University of the West Indies Climate Studies Group Mona (UWI CSGM), have issued an urgent early call for regional governments, private enterprises, agricultural producers and households to implement proactive preparations for extreme climate events.

  • First phase of rehabilitation complete on Dumfries cistern

    First phase of rehabilitation complete on Dumfries cistern

    On the small island of Carriacou, where water scarcity has long been a persistent barrier to agricultural prosperity, a major international development project is delivering tangible progress toward building climate-resilient food systems and lifting rural livelihoods. The Enhancing Land Management and Strengthening Ecosystem Resilience for Integrated Landscape Restoration and Climate-Resilient Food Systems in Carriacou, widely referred to as the Carriacou ILM Project, has completed a critical milestone: the full restoration of the decades-old Dumfries cistern, a community water storage infrastructure that had fallen into disrepair and lost nearly all of its functional capacity.

    Led by the local Partnership Initiative for Sustainable Land Management (PISLM), the initiative draws core funding from the Global Environment Facility (GEF) and receives technical and operational support from the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). Beyond its broader goals of reversing land degradation, scaling ecosystem-based landscape restoration, and expanding sustainable livelihood opportunities for local communities, the project has prioritized expanding reliable water access for smallholder farmers — a foundational change that will strengthen irrigation capabilities, increase staple food output, support larger livestock herds, and raise household incomes across the region.

    Project manager Bernard McIntosh outlined the scope of the restoration work completed on the cistern, explaining, “The project intervention was to fence the perimeter, repair all the cracks and crevices on the catchment area, consequently maximising the catchment’s potential.” After the rehabilitation, the structure once again holds its full design capacity of more than 14,000 gallons of rainwater, a vital reserve in Carriacou’s climate where water resources are extremely limited.

    Agriculture is the backbone of Carriacou’s social fabric and local way of life, with smallholders growing a diverse range of staple and cash crops including pigeon peas, corn, sweet potato, yam, dasheen, watermelon, sorrel, cucumber, and butternut squash. For these producers, consistent access to water is the single biggest limiting factor to production, especially as climate change increases the frequency and severity of droughts across the Caribbean.

    The project’s next phase of work is already planned, with McIntosh confirming that teams will soon install a solar-powered pump system and a supplementary black storage tank. This additional infrastructure will allow farmers to easily access the stored cistern water for irrigation and livestock needs, turning the restored storage capacity into active, usable resources for the community.

    At its core, the Carriacou ILM Project aims to tackle long-standing land degradation across the island through a community-centered approach. By combining evidence-based ecosystem restoration, sustainable land management practices, and climate-smart agricultural techniques, the initiative works to diversify local livelihood options and build long-term resilience to climate shocks. The restoration of the Dumfries cistern represents more than just infrastructure improvement: it is a concrete step toward the project’s broader vision of a sustainable, food-secure future for Carriacou.

  • CYEN Grenada supports World Earth Day 2026 initiative

    CYEN Grenada supports World Earth Day 2026 initiative

    As the 2026 World Earth Day approaches, the Caribbean small island nation of Grenada is gearing up for a nationwide collective push for environmental action, anchored by this year’s global theme: “Our Planet, Our Power.”

    The youth-led Caribbean Youth Environment Network (CYEN) Grenada Chapter has officially announced its full partnership with the Ministry of Climate Resilience, the Environment and Renewable Energy, calling on every segment of Grenadian society to step forward with intentional, purpose-driven action when Earth Day is marked on Wednesday, April 22, 2026.

    For a low-lying Caribbean island extremely vulnerable to climate impacts like sea-level rise and coastal erosion, protecting the nation’s rich natural resources is far more than a policy priority—it is a responsibility that spans generations. CYEN Grenada, which centers youth leadership in climate and environmental work, emphasized this intergenerational stakes in its statement, aligning fully with the national 2026 Earth Day initiative led by the government ministry. To turn growing public awareness of climate issues into tangible progress, the organization is urging all citizens, local businesses, community groups, and national institutions to commit to measurable, actionable changes this Earth Day.

    To make participation accessible for every Grenadian, CYEN Grenada has outlined five simple but impactful actions people can take: First, wear green or blue—colors symbolizing the Earth’s forests and oceans—on April 22 to show visible public solidarity for climate action. Second, join national and local reforestation drives by planting native trees and supporting ongoing reforestation projects. Third, organize or join local clean-up events in neighborhoods, schools, or workplaces to remove litter from shared public spaces and coastal areas. Fourth, cut down on unnecessary waste by shifting to more conscious consumption habits and adopting long-term sustainable daily practices. Fifth, educate friends, family, and social media followers about environmental protection to spread awareness across the entire island.

    “Real change comes through collaboration. This Earth Day, we call on every Grenadian in their household, their workplace, and their community to demonstrate that our power as a people lies in our unity of purpose,” the organization said in its official statement.

    Beyond individual action, CYEN Grenada is also reaching out to government agencies, private sector businesses, educational institutions, and civil society groups to formalize their long-term environmental commitments and partner with the youth-led climate movement. The organization encourages all participants to document their Earth Day activities and share their work publicly, not only to inspire more action across the Caribbean region but also to highlight Grenada’s collective commitment to climate resilience.

    This Earth Day call is part of CYEN Grenada’s ongoing core mission: empowering young Grenadians to take leadership roles in environmental advocacy, climate education, and sustainable development. The group remains dedicated to deepening youth engagement in climate resilience work and nurturing the next generation of environmental stewards across Grenada and the broader Caribbean.
