Budget Speech 2011 - Government of Grenada

5.19 CULTURE AND ENTERTAINMENT INDUSTRIES
Grenada is undergoing a cultural revolution that will change our cultural
landscape. We are finalizing a National Cultural Policy and will implement
a diversified Cultural Calendar for the year.
This calendar includes the Grenada Independence Festival, a National
Pan Festival, the Spice Island Festival of Words and the Camerhogne
Celebration of Grenadian Folk Culture.
During the year, we will establish a National Performing Company as well
as Spice Mas Inc., a permanent body to manage Carnival.
5.20 PUBLIC SECTOR MODERNIZATION
Government sees public sector transformation as the vehicle to transform
the Grenada Public service into a more highly efficient and effective
workforce bringing improved services to all.
The Public Service is one of the key sectors in the economy which must
change the way it does business in the face of globalization and the economic
downturn. The public sector reform agenda that will be implemented has
as its ultimate goal the transformation of the Grenada Public Service from
a slow service provider to a high performance workplace.
During 2011, Government will undertake several reform initiatives geared
towards strengthening the public sector’s ability to deliver better and faster
services to the citizens of Grenada. These include:
• Public Sector Modernization project
• Public Sector Modernization Change Management Programme
• E-Government Regional Integration Project
• Strengthening Personnel Expenditures Management
• OECS regional public sector transformation programme (RPSTP)
that ECCB is spearheading
