  • Falkland Islands Economic Development Strategy Is the Result of an Inclusive and Cooperative Approach
    FALKLAND ISLANDS ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT STRATEGY STRATEGIC DIRECTION 29 October 2010 1 FOREWORD The Honourable Dick Sawle, MLA The Economic Development Strategy (EDS) is a process begun under the previous Assembly in 2008. The Falkland Islands economy has boomed since 1982 and the Falklands has benefitted enormously from the success of the fishing industry. Fishing now accounts for 60% of our Gross Domestic Product. There has also been a very successful and large growth in tourism and the various service sectors that surround it. However, the economy of the Falklands whilst successful, cannot rely on such a narrow economic base for the future . It is widely recognised that the private sector must grow and we must deepen and strengthen current industries such as fishing, tourism and agriculture as well as develop new industries and diversify the service sector. The EDS sets a target for economic growth of 4% to 6% per annum. With ever higher public expectations and the increasing costs associated with meeting the demands of a modern democratic society, the Falkland Islands has to grow its population and its economy in order to sustain itself. This EDS document, produced in collaboration and in consultation with all sectors of our community will act as a blueprint for our economic future . Mr. Roger Spink, President, Falkland Islands Chamber of Commerce This Economic Development Strategy (EDS) sets out a vision with respect to the Falklands economy, and how it can be realised. The EDS is a long term high level strategic plan of action for all those stakeholders in the Falkland economy who are concerned with its success.

  • The Islands Plan
    Falkland Islands Government The Islands Plan 2018–2022 Our vision To progress the sustainable economic, social and political development of the Falkland Islands [ for the benefit of all residents. ] Welcome to The Islands Plan Our beautiful home is unlike any other. We have a truly exceptional landscape, seascape and heritage. Diversity is everywhere: within our culture, our flora and our fauna. We are a fair, just and equal society that is democratically self-determined, and we are a proud member of the global economic, social and political communities. This document sets out our shared vision and priorities for the Falkland Islands over the next four years. It articulates our ambitions for improvements and the actions we will take to deliver positive results, across a range of key areas, for the benefit of every resident. We have an unprecedented opportunity for economic growth and The Islands Plan connects our community’s aspirations for protecting the environment, improving transport and communications links, and modernising our infrastructure, with the possibilities that exist to improve our prosperity, health and wealth for current and future generations. We also have some significant challenges that we cannot ignore. Many of our objectives will require significant investment and a suitably skilled and sufficient labour force to achieve, so we will need to take some big decisions to create the right environment for our plans to succeed. 1 The role of our civil service will be vital to the achievement This also means we will insist on our continued of our plans. The Islands Plan has to be more than simply commitment to robust principles of good governance, words on a page; it must be embedded in the day-to-day which recognise the value and importance of our activities and priorities of each department.

    Submission to the Committee on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights By Minority Rights Group International United Kingdom of Great Britain and Northern Ireland 58th Session, 6 - 24 June 2016 54 Commercial Street, London E1 6LT, United Kingdom Tel. +44 20 7422 4200, Fax +44 20 7422 4201, www.minorityrights.org Contact: Mr. Glenn PAYOT, Geneva Representative, +41 78 881 52 91, [email protected] Introduction: Minority Rights Group International (MRG) is an international NGO working to secure the rights of ethnic, religious and linguistic minorities worldwide. MRG has consultative status with the United Nations Economic and Social Council (ECOSOC), observer status with the African Commission on Human and Peoples’ Rights (ACHPR) and is a civil society organisation registered with the Organization of American States (OAS). MRG and its partners have researched and advocated for the rights of the Chagos Islanders for many years. In line with the mandate of MRG, this report focuses on the behaviour of the Government of the United Kingdom towards the Chagos Islanders in light of its obligations under the International Covenant on Economic, Social and Cultural Rights (‘the Covenant’). It provides an overview of the situation of the Chagos Islanders and updates the Committee on the legal developments since the consideration of the previous periodic report of the UK. The report will then contest the inapplicability of the Covenant in the BIOT as well as evaluate the UK’s behaviour towards the displaced residents of the BIOT in light of its obligations under the Covenant. 1. Overview of the Situation a. Removal of the population Up until the 1960s, the Chagos Islands in the Indian Ocean were inhabited by an indigenous people, the Ilois (also known as Chagossians), who were born there, as were their parents and many of their ancestors.

  • Halifax and Falkland Islands Sister City
    Title of meeting: Cabinet Meeting Date of meeting: 4th February 2020 Subject: Proposed Sister City Links with Halifax, Canada and the Falkland Islands Report by: Director Culture, Leisure & Regulatory Services Wards affected: All Key decision: No Full Council decision No Purpose of report 1.1 To consider a request to establish a formal Sister City link between Portsmouth and Halifax in Canada and the Falkland Island as has been proposed and to request that the Leader of the Council be formally asked to write to the Mayor of Halifax, Canada and the Legislative Assembly of the Falkland Islands with a request to establish Sister City relationships. 2. Recommendations 2.1 To recommend that the Leader of the Council write to the Mayor of Halifax, Canada and the Legislative Assembly of the Falkland Island with a request that Portsmouth be able to enter into Sister City relationships with both Halifax and the Falkland Islands to mark the long relationship between the City of Portsmouth and Halifax, Canada and the Falkland Islands. 3. Background 3.1 Historically Portsmouth City Council has supported and maintained a number of relationships with other cities throughout the world as part of a twinning, sister and friendship city process. 3.2 The oldest links we have were established out of a desire for the UK Government to foster improved relationships between UK and German cities following the Second World War. The rationale for Portsmouth to have such links has changed with the more recent emphasis being to support economic development and business development via trade, investment and education initiatives.
