The institutional structure for implementing the considerations of the SDPP
- Other divisions of the Tobago House of Assembly
- Transfer of responsibility for development planning
- A key element of the Strategic Development Planning Pathway is the shifting of responsibility for establishing development policies, plans and programs from a centralized consultancy-led process to one that devolves direct responsibility to the Divisions of the Tobago House of Assembly.
- Currently, development planning in the THA is informed by the policy prescriptions/recommendations of a suite of past development plans, in addition to mandates derived from recent consultations with Tobagonians.
- Beginning September 1, 2025, the Tobago House of Assembly will adopt the Strategic Development Planning Pathway, which includes twenty-one (21) development agenda priorities derived from the mandates of the people of Tobago.
- Collectively, these priorities will guide development program planning across all Divisions and agencies of the THA.
- Divisions will align all existing and new development programs with the development agenda priorities using a prescribed format that identifies and outlines the contextual issues and development program planning matrix, as outlined in decision step 5 of the integrated development planning implementation logic.
