- For the first time, CIP revenue will build affordable homes for Saint Lucians in Rockhall, Castries and Belvedere, Canaries.
- $10 million of CIP revenue was provided to the Millenium Heights Medical Complex for administrative support.
- CIP revenue supports NGOs like the Ubuntu Movement to roll out targeted social intervention initiatives that promote peace, heal communities and empower at-risk youth and vulnerable groups.
- CIP revenue will ensure our road infrastructure is upgraded and maintained for a smoother commute for motorists throughout the island.
“For the first time, CIP revenue is touching the lives of our people and developing our country.”, said a statement released by Office of Prime Minister.
