Page 1 of 21 PROGRAMME FOR GOVERNMENT ACTIONS Q3 Y2 Updated 27/03/19 Actions The Programme for Government ‘Our Island - a special place to live and work’ was approved by Tynwald in January 2017 and in April 2017 a performance framework, ‘Delivering a Programme for Government’, was also approved. The ‘Programme for Government 2016-21’ is a strategic plan that outlines measurable goals for Government. The Council of Ministers have committed to providing a public update against the performance framework on a quarterly basis. In March 2018 Tynwald approved a revised and updated Programme for Government for year two; 2018-19. This report provides a status report on every action in the Programme for Government, and reflects performance at the end of Quarter three of Year two (Quarter three encompassing October, November and December 2018). The following key provides information on the Red, Amber, Green status reporting system used.
