The Government of Montserrat is extending its sincere appreciation to stakeholders who participated in the Sustainable Development Strategy (SDS) and National Development Plan (NDP) consultation workshops.
The consultation were held from 13–17 July.
Over the five-day period, 111 stakeholders contributed their knowledge, expertise, and perspectives to help shape Montserrat’s long-term development agenda.
Participants represented a broad cross-section of society, including public servants, private sector organisations, youth, civil society organisations, and members of the Montserratian diaspora from the United Kingdom, the United States, the Caribbean, Canada, and the Middle East.
Stakeholders participated in structured workshops designed to review and validate the SDS Planning Framework and the NDP Results Logic, both of which will provide the foundation for the first draft of these national planning documents.
Following completion of the draft documents, the Government will launch an extensive programme
of public engagement to ensure all residents and stakeholders have an opportunity to review and
provide feedback.
The draft Strategy and Plan will be made available through online platforms and will be supported by island-wide public consultations, community meetings, and radio programmes designed to encourage broad national participation.
The Government encourages all residents and stakeholders to continue contributing to the development of these important national planning documents.
Comments and suggestions may be submitted through the Policy and Planning Division, Cabinet Secretariat, or by email to sempled@gov.ms or andrevhenry@me.com.
The Government of Montserrat is thanking individuals and organisations that contributed to the important exercise.
It says the collaborative spirit demonstrated throughout the consultation process reflects a shared commitment to building a resilient, inclusive, and prosperous Montserrat for current and future generations.
