Community relations are about building partnerships and fostering empowerment so we have always strived to employ an approach that pays close attention to gender equality and social inclusion. Consequently, we have conducted Focus Groups with members of the Antigua and Barbuda Association of Persons with Disabilities and consulted with other vulnerable groups in an effort to ensure that all voices are being heard and responded to,\u201d Mrs. Harewood George said.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The emergence of Covid-19 has brought about a change with respect to face-to-face consultations, hence the community relations team has modified its outreach strategy which includes a grievance mechanism that enables members of the public to lodge complaints.\u00a0 The project management team has drastically changed how it operates as a result of covid-19 and there is currently a reliance on technology and a willingness to be more innovative.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Among the lessons learnt is the fact that all stakeholders are equally important, continuous community feedback is critical during project implementation and people must feel empowered to participate before, after and during the process.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The Community Liaison Officer has said that no effort was spared in ensuring that the project is socially inclusive. Throughout the project\u2019s implementation, special consultations were held with stakeholders such as\u00a0the Antigua and Barbuda Port\u00a0Authority\u00a0and truckers in reference to\u00a0roundabouts in an effort to make certain that trucks\u00a0with and\u00a0without loads would have\u00a0safe access. \u00a0A recent simulation exercise that tested the navigation of the design vehicle which is a 40 foot tailor truck was carried out with success.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The PIMU\u2019s official grievance mechanism policy has proven effective and stakeholders can file a complaint at 562-9174 0r 562-9176 or email\u00a0<a href=\"mailto:pimu@ab.gov.ag\">pimu@ab.gov.ag<\/a>.<\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-3261111136\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The Government of Antigua and Barbuda is now at the phase of wrapping up works to fully rehabilitate two of the island\u2019s major corridors. &nbsp; Friars Hill Road and Sir George Walter Highway connect the island\u2019s main port of entry, the VC Bird International Airport, to the capital of St. John\u2019s and both have been [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":120952,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[5],"tags":[118,119,117,116,107,88,102,94,96,91,90,99,92,114,115,98,108,106,104,109,95,105,110,112,113,111,101,103,97],"class_list":["post-120951","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-news","tag-268-antigua","tag-268-antigua-barbuda","tag-268-antigua-today","tag-268-today","tag-advertise-in-antigua","tag-antigua","tag-antigua-barbuda","tag-antigua-and-barbuda","tag-antigua-breaking-news","tag-antigua-caribbean","tag-antigua-crime","tag-antigua-economy-news","tag-antigua-news","tag-antigua-news-rooom","tag-antigua-observer","tag-antigua-politics","tag-antiguan-news","tag-barbuda","tag-barbuda-news","tag-barbudan-news","tag-breaking-news-antigua","tag-news","tag-news-antigua","tag-news-antigua-barbuda","tag-news-antigua-and-barbuda","tag-news-barbuda","tag-news-in-antigua","tag-news-in-barbuda","tag-tourism-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.1 (Yoast SEO v24.1) -
