 Coming to you from RGIS Studios, I am Anisia Antoine and this is your Midday News Brief. The rehabilitation of the forestry road is now complete. Yesterday, parliamentary representative for Castries Southeast, Honourable Guy Joseph, along with officials from the Ministry of Infrastructure, held the official road opening ceremony which marks the completion of this vital community road. The road rehabilitation project was implemented by local construction firm Skelly's Construction and employed a significant number of persons from the community. The project included the construction of new drains, retaining walls, cul vets, the erection of traffic signs, road markings for traffic safety and the total resurfacing of the road. Prime Minister of St. Lucia, Hon. Alan Shastney noted that in the next few days, the residents of the new development in Soufra will see the commencement of the long-awaited community road rehabilitation. The District One Education Office in collaboration with the Office of the Parliamentary Representative for Barbono hosted the second place success award ceremony of the bogus primary school for the year 2019.

Education Officer for District One, Cyrus Seapal, noted that the student's performance is in keeping with the district's motto, changing mindsets and working smart to ensure all learners succeed. The award ceremony took place on Friday, February 28, 2020 at the bogus primary school yard. The Eastern Caribbean Central Bank, ECCB in partnership with the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States, OECS Commission and the World Bank welcomed a wide network of original social partners to the fourth Growth and Resilience Dialogue earlier this month.

The ECCB, OECS Commission and the World Bank have also partnered to launch a major digital transformation initiative within the region.
