AGP Executive Report

Last update: 4 hours ago

Geothermal Power Push: Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit says Dominica is set to be the first Caribbean country to bring geothermal energy onto the national grid, with the plant still in commissioning and teething outages being addressed. Airport Progress: Skerrit also reports the international airport at Wesley is moving ahead on earthworks, runway/taxiway work, and key terminals, with environmental safeguards and quarry approvals in place. Hurricane Season Prep: As the 2026 Atlantic hurricane season begins, the government says shelters were inspected, supplies reviewed, and agencies coordinated through NEPO, urging early public preparedness. Climate Resilience Funding: Dominica launched the $25M DOMCREP resilience project in Marigot, funded via the Green Climate Fund, targeting water security and community adaptation planning. Health & Climate Risks: The Health-Climatic Bulletin warns of warmer-than-average temperatures, flash-flood concerns, and higher risks for waterborne and mosquito-borne illnesses. Clean Energy for Fisheries: CRFM is ramping up clean energy support under the STAR-Fish project, including renewable power and cold storage to strengthen low-carbon fisheries. Tourism With a Green Angle: Dominica’s tourism momentum continues, with a wellness-focused Tourism Awareness Program rolling out through July and TravelPulse naming Dominica among the Caribbean’s fastest-growing destinations. Food Security & Local Inputs: The government plans a nearly $700,000 animal feed mill to cut import dependence, using locally grown cassava tested for feed production. Youth Climate Learning: A summer Junior Climate Resilience Champions program will train 125 children on climate and disaster readiness through community action. Community Safety: Police and partners removed derelict vehicles from multiple communities, citing health, environmental, and public safety risks. Agriculture Hit by Bushfire: A June 3 bushfire in Salisbury destroyed crops and damaged water infrastructure, with the ministry assessing next steps for support. Citizenship by Investment Tightening: New CBI rules require successful applicants to visit Dominica in person and spend time in the country before collecting renewed passports. Trade Policy Context: CARICOM’s COTED meeting opened in Guyana amid global energy and supply-chain shocks, with Dominica’s trade and energy minister chairing discussions.
