In fiscal 2012/2013, in keeping with Government’s stated Seven Interconnected Pillars for Sustainable Development which identifies infrastructure as the basis for developing human capital, indigenous capacity and expanding the country’s skills base, the Ministry of Works and Infrastructure (MOWI) continued to focus its efforts on road construction, traffic management and restoration and maintenance of government buildings and facilities. In fiscal 2012/13, the Ministry received an allocation $2,174,657,500.00 of which $1,302,173,500.00 was appropriated to the recurrent budget with the remaining sum being distributed between the IDF ($793,515,000.00) and the Consolidated Fund ($78,515,000.00), respectively to undertake capital works. The main focus of the Ministry’s Capital Programme was the continuation of the enhancement and expansion of the road and highway infrastructure which included on-going projects such as the Port of Spain East West Corridor Improvement Works Programme, Extension of the Solomon Hochoy Highway from Golconda to Point Fortin and the Dualling of the Diego Martin Main Road from Victoria Gardens to Acton Court. In 2012/2013, the focus was also on traffic management measures throughout the country and included the continuation of works on the National Traffic Management System (NTMS) which when completed would provide an improved level of service to motorists through faster detection and response to incidents and through a marked reduction of traffic congestion as a result of the co-ordination of the traffic signals. i Contents Page Number 1 THE EXECUTIVE TEAM 2012/2013 .................................................................
