Like every other part of Government, the Deputy Governor’s Office and Governor’s Group of Departments must invest in infrastructure, accommodation, technology and equipment to deliver on their mandates.  In this connection their investment programmes are part and parcel of the Government’s Public Sector Investment Programme (PSIP).

Included in the PSIP is a 92- point Government Legislative Agenda (GLA) 2003 – 2007 that contains projects, initiatives and measures for which the Deputy Governor’s Office has lead responsibility.  This Group of Projects falls under the theme “Good Governance and Government in the Sunshine”.

The other ministries and departments have investments projects as well.  The complete list of project covering the three year period 2006-2008 are found in the Capital Expenditure Estimates, 2006.

Within the Capital Estimates details including total projects costs, cumulative expenditure from previous years and estimated expenditure for each of the next three years.  The Governor’s Group Expenditure appear as the first “ministry” and the funding for projects falls into external funding, local funding , funding envisaged and loan funding.  The Capital Estimates also show the carried forward or unspent balances on the budget allocation of each project.

The projects are executed by the Deputy Governor’s Office on behalf of the departments.  Our capital programme has three broad areas of focus.  They are Governance, National Security and Courts Administration.  Our projects are broken down into planned and ongoing with the areas of focus representing a further breakdown.

We have provided policy statement and investment strategy for or Group of Departments.  An analysis of investments expenditure over the past two decades is provided for background.
