- The Division of Governmental Affairs, DGA
- The THA will establish the Division of Governmental Affairs (DGA) to avoid fragmentation and conflict in decision-making processes and governance arrangements between and among the THA divisions, and between the THA and the government of Trinidad and Tobago.
