Zublin Grenada Limited Statement on Governments Response to SGRP |
|
Friday, 02 July 2010 |
Zublin Grenada Limited is disappointed at the formal response by Government to the St. George’s Renaissance Project. The Government of Grenada sent Zublin a letter stating that “the Government cannot approve the implementation of the Public Private Partnership in the form presented”.
Zublin is disappointed that this position was taken without any consultations during the last 10 months, and before more in depth study of the project was done as was recommended by the Cabinet Appointed Committee. This Committee supported the proposition of Zublin that the project be studied further because of its value and importance to Grenada. The Committee also recommended that Government sign a letter of intent with Zublin in order to structure public private cooperation. |

 (CARICOM Secretariat, Turkeyen, Greater Georgetown, Guyana) More than sixty youth participants at a workshop on Edutainment in Antigua and Barbuda on Tuesday were taught how to utilise dance, ring games, and folk songs as powerful tools that could be used to pass on anti-drug messages.
The workshop, which started on Monday, in St Johns Antigua and Barbuda, brought together young people from 13 Member States who are being trained in using edutainment to educate their peers on the social, physical, and judicial consequences of substance abuse. It is an initiative of the CARICOM Secretariat supported by the European Union under the 9Th EDF Programme, and forms part of a broader strategy to build the capacity of Member States in dealing with the worsening problem of drug abuse and illicit trafficking within the Community. |
