    GD 2020/0058 2020/21 1 Programme for Government October 2020 – July 2021 Introduction The Council of Ministers is pleased to bring its revised Programme for Government to Tynwald. The Programme for Government was agreed in Tynwald in January 2017, stating our strategic objectives for the term of our administration and the outcomes we hoped to achieve through it. As we enter the final year of this parliament, the world finds itself in the grip of the COVID-19 pandemic. This and other external factors, such as the prospect of a trade agreement between the UK and the EU, will undoubtedly continue to influence the work of Government in the coming months and years. What the Isle of Man has achieved over the past six months, in the face of COVID-19, has been truly remarkable, especially when compared to our nearest neighbours. The collective response of the people of our Island speaks volumes of the strength of our community and has served to remind us of the qualities that make our Island so special. At the beginning of the pandemic the Council of Ministers suspended the Programme for Government, and any work within it, to bring to bear the complete resources of the public service in the fight against coronavirus as we worked to keep our island and its people safe. Through the pandemic we have seen behaviour changes in society and in Government, and unprecedented times seem to have brought unprecedented ways of working. It is important for the future that we learn from the experiences of COVID and carry forward the positive elements of both what was achieved, and how Government worked together to achieve it.

We both gave a commitment during the election to stay in touch, part of that commitment revolved around hard copy newsletters as we are aware that not everyone has access to websites, Facebook and Twitter. Programme for Government One of the most important tasks for any new administration is to put together a Programme for Government for the next five years. In the past this has been a lengthy process, sometimes taking up to 18 months. After the election in September and our appointments to the Council of Ministers, the Chief Minister was determined we echo his sentiments by putting together a programme as quickly as possible but as inclusively as possible. Consultation with all MHKs started almost immediately and there were invitations for participation in the preparation for the programme to interested external parties including businesses. As a result a 100 days after the election the Programme for Government 2016 – 2021 was approved unanimously by Tynwald. The programme is available on this link www.gov.im/media/1354840/ programme-for-government.pdf and it is not our intention to go into great detail in this newsletter but there are three strategic objectives which are overarching aims of the Council of Ministers in the long term and approved by all members.
