5-year Strategic Plan - Staff Workshop 2013

 

The Board of the National Carnival Commission (NCC) is in the process of completing a 5-year Strategic Plan (2013 – 2017). As an institutional strengthening programme, the plan is being developed with the broadest possible consultation of the major stakeholders and publics of Trinidad and Tobago Carnival.

Spearheaded by NCC Chairman, Ms. Allison Demas, a series of consultations have been carried out with all of the key stakeholders of the NCC- including the Political & Executive Management, Staff; Line Managers; National / Regional Carnival Stakeholders; The Board of Commissioners; special interest groups and members of the general public.

Using past achievements and learning curves as guides, we have secured the foundation of a shared vision of the future for the NCC over the next five years, which reflects the rapidly-changing environment at the global, regional, local, and sectoral levels.

The NCC Strategic Plan and Institutional Strengthening Goals are being developed within the following five (5) Corporate Pillars:

• Carnival improvement including strengthening the capacities of our partners in the SIGs;
• Value for money and resource mobilization and optimization with an emphasis on sustainability;
• Superior customer care / service to all our partners and publics;
• Improving internal organizational systems and processes, including ICT and procurement;
• Human resourcedevelopment and organizational change and growth.

The strategy of the NCC is to use sector-wide programming to stimulate, shape and ensure success of this investment effort, with expansion of national public and private investment, and foreign participation. This will involve strong procurement, disbursement and accountability procedures at the NCC. The NCC promotes this module as a way to bring greater coherence and cohesion to the individual, business, association, and macro activities of Carnival. support from government.

The NCC is committed to ensuring that ownership of and responsibility for the emerging carnival development policy and its implementation lie with all stakeholders. Accordingly, the NCC will strengthen existing systems of stakeholder consultations and joint decision-making that will continue benefit the future of our culture and our people.
