AGP Executive Report

Last update: 2 hours ago

Gangs & Community Parenting: Opposition senator Karina Goodridge backed Barbados’ Criminal Gangs Bill but urged a broad public education push, with churches and community groups helping parents and young people understand the law and risks. Prime Minister Mia Mottley also called for community-based parenting clubs and a national support hotline, plus a focus on faith-based youth programmes. Crime Policy Details: Minister Michael Lashley said offender monitoring is coming for people reoffending while on bail, and lawmakers will debate a gun court next Tuesday. Youth, Climate & Green Jobs: A UNICEF-commissioned Eastern Caribbean study found Barbadian youth are less aware of green and circular economy opportunities than peers, pointing to information and access gaps rather than lack of interest. Heritage Through Writing: Pan-African Affairs and Heritage Minister Trevor Prescod urged more local writers to protect cultural identity and build economic opportunities, as a Season of Emancipation writing contest opens with a $20,000 top prize. Entrepreneurship for Creatives: The Marcus Garvey Entrepreneurship Pitch Competition launched with $30,000 in cash prizes, aiming to grow participation in Barbados’ cultural industries. Tourism & Culture Spotlight: CTO honoured Caribbean storytellers at Caribbean Week in New York, while Barbadian tourism leader Petra Roach was inducted into the inaugural CTO Hall of Fame. Local Business & Money: Fintech Zeemoney shut down in Barbados after a Central Bank suspension order, following concerns over governance and compliance. Sports & Lifestyle: BYD was named Official Car Sponsor of CPL 2026, rolling out fan activations and a “Wrap the Future” design challenge.
