 Welcome to NTN Nightly, I am General Norville. This edition stops stories. The Central Statistical Office of St. Lucia gathers up for the Quarterly Labour Force Survey. The District of Choselle soon to solidify its place as St. Lucia's craft mecca and the Effective Learning Institute continues to aid underprivileged students in St. Lucia. The Central Statistical Office of St. Lucia is garing up for its Quarterly Labour Force Survey. The Ministry of Health and Wellness is working with the Statistical Office establishing protocols for enumerators who will be returning to the field to ensure not only their safety but that of the public as well. More in this report. The Central Statistical Office of St. Lucia is garing up to commence its Quarterly Labour Force Survey. The Statistical Office since the onset of the COVID-19 pandemic had to resort to conducting its Quarterly Labour Force Surveys via telephone. However, now with the reopening of the country, it is looking to recommence its face-to-face interviews. Deputy Director of the Statistical Office of St. Lucia, Richard Harris, indicated that the Office is working with the Ministry of Health and Wellness in determining protocols for enumerators who are returning to the field that will ensure their safety as well as that of the interviewees. We are here to engage the Ministry of Health with regards to our enumerators returning to the field in a manner that would ensure their safety and would ensure that we can effectively perform our face-to-face interviews as we visit the different communities throughout the island. Our surveys, our Labour Force Survey, especially this particular engagement is directly related to the Labour Force Survey, which entails visiting communities, visiting households and conducting face-to-face interviews. So given the prevailing conditions concerning the pandemic and the prevailing protocols that are in place, we want to ensure the safety of not only our enumerators but the persons that we interview at the households. The survey is targeted at a randomly selected group of 800 households from all districts and across all demographic groups. It seeks to measure the levels and rates of employment, unemployment and economic inactivity in St. Lucia. Department of Environmental Health's Senior Environmental Health Officer with responsibility for COVID-19, Emerson Vitalis, explained that the protocols are based on health standards, practices in terms of operating in a COVID-19 environment. These protocols, which were rolled out last Thursday, will aid the enumerators in conducting their tasks in the safest possible way. The enumerators Vitalis indicated were also trained accordingly. There are three critical areas which we speak about and they come under infection prevention control and we promote hand hygiene, we promote social distancing we promote the wearing of masks and also hand sanitization or hand hygiene, sorry. So these are what we're going to be, you know, key components of the presentation. How do you go into the field out there? How do you interact, the safest way to interact? And I think, you know, the key one is the physical distance in between the respondent and the interviewer, how you manage the situation and you get there. And it's not only about just asking the questions the enumerators also has to be vigilant in terms of the approach in terms of even noticing any symptoms or, you know, someone may be exhibiting. They are not clinical people, but again, if you recognize someone is coughing excessively or sneezing, I mean, it sends a sign to you. And again, we will train them today in terms of how to identify some of those key components. The engagement training workshop was held on Thursday, 17th June 2021. The Central Statistical Office of St. Glutia is tentatively looking to recommend its face-to-face interviews in the next quarter. From the Government Information Service, I am Janelle Norvell. The Global Environment Facility Small Grants Program, which is implemented by UNDP, is supporting St. Glutia's efforts to integrate research and innovation into the apiculture industry. Jesse Leos reports. Since 2012, Jeff SGP UNDP St. Glutia has funded 13 apiculture projects totaling EC $1.6 million. Already successes have been achieved in producing by-products such as soap, shampoo, lotions, candles, muscle pain relief creams, granola and mead, which is a delicious wine. This investment has already contributed to a 15% increase in honey production, trained over 200 beekeepers, and increased their income by 40-60%. Recent testing of St. Glutia's honey by a laboratory in France has confirmed its suitability for exporting to the European Union. Driven by a vision which focuses on research and innovation, Jeff SGP UNDP, the Government of St. Glutia, the IANOLA Apiculture Collective and other NGOs, will establish the Apiculture Research and Learning Institute, ARLI, as a Centre of Excellence for Research, Innovation and Learning in St. Glutia and the Eastern Caribbean. What is the mission of ALI? To contribute to a sustainable climate-smart environment for pollinators. So we are going beyond bees to look at all the pollinators in the environment in St. Glutia through a programme that is science-driven, important to us, develops and nurtures strategic partnerships, mutually beneficial partnerships, builds capacity and generates benefits for communities. We believe Apiculture has those attributes to uplift our rural societies and to contribute significantly to our economy. According to the Law of Diffusion of Innovation, approximately 2.5% of any population are the real innovators. These, when behind with the early adopters representing 13.5% of any population, will provide the impetus for sustainable development. JeffSGP-UNDP has targeted such pioneers to begin to push us beyond the frontier of science, agro-processing, agriculture and biodiversity in St. Glutia and the Eastern Caribbean. The IONOLA Apiculture Collective fits within this pioneering category and has been breaking new ground in this area and will lead us with local and international partners to where we have not been before. We are a collection of young and old beekeepers together. Working to try to elevate the industry and embrace not just the craft of beekeeping but also embrace the science of beekeeping. The science is the most critical important thing that we have left behind and what we've focused on in our organisation is to focus on the science, to try to understand what's happening with our bees, where they are failing and where they are not failing and how we can improve the ecosystem around and the analysis of the diseases possibly at the bees are carrying. During a recent site visit to the IAC Apiculture Training Centre in Castries, a delegation from the Embassy of Taiwan, led by Ambassador His Excellency Peter Chen, was introduced to the vision and mission of the Apiculture Research and Learning Institute, toured the Apiary at VG and participated in an interactive session of candle-making using beeswax. Taiwan provides a broad spectrum of assistance to Senutia, including agriculture, education, technology, business, health, etc. We committed to work with Senutia government to achieve UN sustainable development goals and also enhance resilience to climate change and we look forward to working with all stakeholders and partners to benefit all Senutians in the region. So I truly believe when we work together, we will share a better future. In the long run, the Apiculture Research and Learning Institute is expected to serve as a multi-purpose field research centre that will focus on growth and optimisation of the apiculture industry, mangrove, avifana and coral species restoration and the establishment of a vibrant, diverse and authentic apitarism experience in Saint Lucia and the Eastern Caribbean. To achieve these objectives, Arlie will create strong, mutually beneficial and enduring partnerships with Sanket Senevis, Dominica, Grenada, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago and Samoa, as well as with local, regional and international universities and research centres. For the Government Information Service, I am Jesse Leons reporting. The district of Choiselle will soon solidify its place as the craft mecca of Saint Lucia. Export Saint Lucia announced that it has been receiving increased interest in Choiselle's craft products such as coal pots and with baskets from foreign markets. As interest from the UK and US markets continues to increase, Export Saint Lucia's Chief Executive Officer, CEO Sunita Danielle said that Export Saint Lucia is collaborating with the Choiselle Craft Association to edit and access in foreign markets. One step towards making this a reality is the cataloging of craft products. What we're trying to do is to get the craft items online and for sale by the outside customers and so they'll be able to access coal pots with the baskets, anything that the crafters have and they'll be able to access those online. Export Saint Lucia is currently working with a buyer in the US market and is in the process of shipping craft items to the United States. Anticipating the growth of Saint Lucia's craft industry, the CEO explained that there are plans to expand to other communities. One of the things that Export Saint Lucia does is because we are a development agency, is that we fill in any gaps that the producers themselves are experiencing. So for example, if we see that there is additional need to beef up their own expertise, we do that for them. And so we do a lot of hand-holding of our clients. We don't believe anybody should be doing it alone. There's a lot of that until we can say, okay, we let you go and do what you have to do. So we will be starting with Choiselle, but we do expect to really develop a comprehensive program for craft throughout the item. Export Saint Lucia assured its commitment to the growth and development of Saint Lucia's craft industry, finding new ways of supporting the industry, and meeting the demands of foreign markets. The Effective Learning Institute continues to play a significant role in Saint Lucia's education sector, providing aid to underprivileged students. Harmony Mark tells us more. The Effective Learning Institute, a regional organization committed to improving learning conditions for the underprivileged, has donated to families in need. The Institute headed in Saint Lucia by former educator Peter Anous provides scholarships to students of underprivileged families. Their scholarships cover the cost of uniforms, textbooks, school supplies, tuition fees, transportation, and nail hampers. The provision of these essentials is intended to better equip and encourage students to stay in school. Peter Anous, Allen Co-ordinator of the Effective Learning Institute says the organization hopes to reduce the rate of school dropouts and, by extension, reduce unwanted social ills. Too often we have children going to school, they do not have what is required, and hence we have problems. So our education, our organization, what we do is to help these parents provide the children with what they need. What do we provide? I will remind everyone of our main objectives. And as I read from our document, which stipulates that the ultimate aim of our project of funding is to empower all the less fortunate and underprivileged children. Those of low socioeconomic status, children whose parents just cannot make ends meet. The scholarships provided by the Institute are funded via crowdsourcing. Phyllis the Flabby uses the grandmother of three students who continue to benefit from the Effective Learning Institute. She made a plea to the public to contribute generously to the work of Mr. Anous and his team. Mr. Anous have been providing things for these children for many years. I am asking the people out there when they see Mr. Peter Anous out there and he said he is asking for donation, please try and help because the donation is going a long way and with groceries and school supplies and I am thankful for that because he helps the grandchildren over the years. The Effective Learning Institute has on several occasions worked collaboratively with A.S. Mirage for the provision of school uniforms to the underprivileged. From the Government Information Service, Pylmedy Mark reporting. The former owner of the St. Lucia Stars 2020 team donates promotional paraphernalia to schools and youth cricket programs in St. Lucia. One such presentation was made to the Northern Cluster Grassroots Cricket Program. Good afternoon. We are here at the Direns Army Cricket Ground handing over some cricket paraphernalia like cups, bats, cell phones, casing, cups, cones and other items which is actually from behalf of Mr. Pandir, former owner of St. Lucia Stars. True Mr. Singh is handing over to the Northern Grassroots Cricket Club to use for your enhancement in training. Whatever part of training you are doing for the youth level or at the high level, make full use of it either in communication wise, training wise and maybe those bugs can be used to carry your little gear. I hope you enjoyed the little talk and I was thankful for being here and making that special effort to be here this afternoon to have this little ceremony, this hand in over. So thank you once again. Let me just thank you Mr. Singh and Mr. Pandir for such a nice gesture. Obviously we are going to use it to the best of ability. I mean there are bugs there, there are bottles which can surely be used by better students. So thank you very much and we hope that in the future maybe we can get bigger and better things from you. Yes, definitely. I believe it was a very good gesture. I know it would mean a lot to the guys every time we are always looking for ways to enhance our game. I mean there are water bottles, phone cases and bugs that the guys can use to better their training and their transport and communication to the training so I believe that is a very good gesture. As was mentioned, I believe that this gesture would allow more of the players to be aware of the Senusha team, the Senusha Zooks team. I believe that it would just broaden their base amongst the young individuals to get to know more of the Senusha Zooks. I think that they must rather them maybe they are not aware of the CPL but now they are fully aware of the Senusha Zooks at this point. Good run! The public is herbying formed of the temporary closure of the Fokodra Road from the main road by Mr Pap Forestia Castries from Tuesday 22nd June 2021 to Tuesday the 29th of June 2021.
