Join the change

Economic growth is the core of our mission, and we will achieve this by building the four pillars of the economy – agriculture, tourism, the blue economy, and the new economy. We want to enhance each of these sectors, unleashing economic opportunity across the country, creating jobs and growing wages.

Agriculture

AN NDP GOVERNMENT WILL

  • Establish a separate Ministry for Fisheries to sharpen the Government’s focus.
  • Establish a National Marketing Board to drive exports and ensure that we can let farmers focus on what they do best.
  • Invest new equipment to support farmers.
  • Re-introduce agricultural science at schools in our country to help develop the next generation of farmers.
  • Upgrade existing roads across our farming communities and build new feeder roads to access more lands. The multiplier effects of feeder roads can never be overstated as access to and from the farm is of paramount importance.

AN NDP GOVERNMENT WILL

  • Finance new equipment they need to succeed. We won’t dictate to them that you need this or that. We will work with them through our National Development Bank as partners in their enterprises,
    to help them get ahead.
  • Partner with existing global experts to develop a major fish industry. This will generate high quality fish for sale and good paying jobs associated with the industry.
  • Resource a new fleet of fishing boats through public and private partnership.
  • Use available technology such as fish finders, FADs, and other available resources to assist fisher folks.
  • Liaise with appropriate European regulatory bodies to allow for the lifting of the ban on our fish products such as conchs and lobsters.

AN NDP GOVERNMENT WILL

  • Create the National Eco-tourism Strategy. This plan will support individual project in North Leeward, North Windward and other key areas. We would establish a national park and facilities in the north of the country.
  • Identify further projects to provide significant employment now that sandals and other hotel projects are coming online.
  • Invest in improving access and the attractiveness of our tourism attractions particularly in North Leeward as well as our historic sites like Fort Charlotte and Fort Hamilton
  • Support local businesses to link up with major tourist attractions with series of programmes to directly link local businesses with major hotels and other amenities.
  • Establish a National TVET Centre of Excellence to improve skills in the hospitality and tourism sector.

AN NDP GOVERNMENT WILL

  • Create and fund a National Development Bank focussing on this key sector of the economy.
  • Establish a National Performing Arts Centre.
  • Deliver the National Innovation Hub.
  • Establish the National Jobs and Skills Agency.
  • Make it easier for digital entrepreneurs to monetise their content and products.

Dr. Godwin Friday

I am proud to call St Vincent and the Grenadines my home. It is a wonderful country, a beautiful landscape, generous people and boundless ambition for the future.
I live at Mt Pleasant on Bequia with my wife and family. Prior to entering politics, I was a lawyer and was called to the Bar in 2002.
I have served as a Member of Parliament for 23 years for the North Grenadines.
Throughout this time in opposition, I have seen the consistent failures of the ULP and their broken promises. Today, we are heading in the wrong direction. Over one in five people do not have jobs, and for those that do, stagnant wages offer little hope they can build a future and improve their quality of life. 

Team

Dr Friday’s NDP team is committed to getting SVG working.
We will deliver new jobs, better healthcare, opportunities for young people, and reduce the cost of living.
