Saint Lucia: Ernest Hilaire, Deputy Prime Minister and Tourism Minister of Saint Lucia shared his plans to provide assistance to the Cultural Development Foundation (CDF) in the coming budget presentation.
He expressed his pleasure at being the part of such a government which prioritizes cultural development in the country. In any country, the role of cultural development can not be neglected as it enhances economic growth by marking development in various fields that may include tourism, creative crafts or others.
The Cultural Development Foundation (CDF) is a key development agency that enriches the lives and livelihoods of aspiring creatives through various capacity enhancement initiatives and programmes. CDF is both; the champion for cultural preservation and development change agent.
And, the investment made for cultural development directs towards fostering living standards of the people. An epitome to this is the words presented by one of the netizens itself. He added, “An investment into culture is an investment in our people.”
Considerably, as Minister Hilaire continues with the preparations for an upcoming budget presentation, he met with the senior leadership at the Cultural Development Foundation. The meeting aimed at adjusting the support package.
Minister highlighted that the budget will provide support to the foundation to build on last year’s gains and give creatives an increase. Such an increase would surely increase access to capacity-building programmes and resources to take the talents among the people of the country to new heights.
The support which will be provided to the Cultural Development Foundation would promise to mark significant expansion. CDF has a crucial role in organizing many of the events in the country that contribute to the economic boost in the country.
The Government’s idea for offering the support to it marks their dedication and commitment for the growth and development of the country.
