Mandate

Our Mandate

Projects

The RDA delivers the programmes and projects set out in the revised Recovery to Development Plan through:

Effective good governance of the RDA;
Careful management and development of our staff;
Efficient business process within a culture of continuous improvement; and
Transparent and efficient procurement demonstrating Value for Money (VFM) in accordance with international best practice.

Fundraising

The overall recovery and development programme of the RDA is funded by a combination of grants from the Government of the Virgin Islands, the UK Government and private funders.

The RDA raises funds to augment Government’s commitment to the recovery process and provides opportunities for the public to participate in this process. Our fundraising process is transparent, we are accountable to our donors and responsive to their requests.

Capacity Building

The RDA exposes technical students to the industrial environment and provides recent graduates with the opportunity to gain real work experience as interns and trainees.

Our Procurement Department hosts regular workshops to educate contractors, consultants, and suppliers on crucial areas of the procurement process and to improve their capacities to effectively respond to tender opportunities. We also facilitate on-demand one-on-one trainings with contractors.

The RDA will implement its mandate using the shared understanding of Building BVI Stronger, Smarter, Greener, and Better.

Stronger

Increasing the strength of the BVI will be fundamental to meeting the challenges of the future. A more resilient BVI capable of standing up to the challenges of the future should be key to how the BVI builds back stronger through capacity building.

Smarter

A smarter BVI will be characterised by using resources – people and technology - wisely to deliver the best services across the region. This will require the restructuring of processes and structures to deliver significant change.

Greener

A greener BVI is one that is resource-efficient, maximising the benefit from the earth’s limited resources. In order to remain one of ‘natures little secrets’, it is imperative that the environment that makes the BVI so unique is maintained. The BVI has and will rebuild a greener BVI that is the exemplar across the region for sustainable redevelopment.

Better

Effective delivery of services and products across the public and private sector though investment in modern, up-to-date processes and procedures will be delivered by an effectively trained and developed workforce. The biggest asset is the BVI people as they are the foundation that a better BVI is built upon.
