Extractions: George Alleyne BRIDGETOWN, Dec 15 (IPS) - Propelled by an alarming growth in the incidence of HIV and AIDS, the Barbados government has decided to make free to all infected persons, anti-retroviral drugs that check the spread of the disease within the body. This move means that the HIV/AIDS budget will increase significantly, from its current 600,000 dollars to over 12 million dollars annually. Officials are unable to say exactly when the programme will begin, but it is expected to provide some financial relief for those infected with HIV (the Human Immunodeficiency Virus) that causes AIDS (Acquired Immune Deficiency Syndrome). HIV patients spend 800 dollars a month on AIDS medication. Currently such drugs are available without cost only to pregnant women. Prime Minister Owen Arthur, who made the announcement recently, spoke of an ambitious drive to cut by half the number of deaths attributed to AIDS, within one year. According to Dr Roland Knight of the environmental health department of the health ministry, in Barbados there is a short survival rate of 10 to 12 months for persons who have moved from the stage of HIV infection to full blown AIDS.

Coastal Zone Management Unit A government department dealing with coastal environmental protection. Features legislative regulations, public outreach events, and educational tools on conservation and environmental protection. http://www.coastal.gov.bb/
Extractions: WELCOME TO THE COASTAL ZONE MANAGEMENT UNIT FROM THE DIRECTOR'S DESK The most intriguing location of any small island is its coastal zone. This transitional strip of land contains some of the most productive and valuable habitats of the biosphere. It has multiple resources, resource users, varying levels of development and in essence is fundamental to the very existence of a small island. Barbados is no exception in this regard, especially with its highly varied coastline of unique geological formation. Barbados considers the implementation of integrated coastal zone management (ICZM) as the best way forward for the maintained effective management of the coastline and for the last twenty-five (25) years, the government of Barbados has systematically and incrementally developed its capacity to implement ICZM. We hope that you will join us in pursuit of a deeper understanding of the Barbados coastal zone. Please visit our website in the future to learn about our latest activities. We at the CZMU endeavour to keep you informed and will continue to work to ensure that the Barbados' coast is indeed 'a coast to be proud of'.

Office Of The Auditor General - Barbados, Untitled Document It is an independent office, responsible to the Parliament of Barbados. Financial statements regarding annual and special budgetary reports on the government and its expenditure. http://www.bao.gov.bb/
Extractions: 14, November 2010 Welcome Welcome The Office of the Auditor General of Barbados is an independent audit office serving Parliament and the people of Barbados. We conduct financial audits of the government's financial statements (public accounts). In doing so, the Office assists Parliament in holding the government and its administrators accountable for the administration's stewardship of public funds. The Office thus contributes to better-managed government programs and better accountability to Parliament and the public. In addition to financial audits the Auditor General may on his own initiative carry out special examinations into the financial management of Ministries, Departments, Statutory Authorities and government controlled entities. This includes the manner in which these entities use their resources in discharging their functions as regards the efficiency and effectiveness of the use of these resources. The Office has developed this site in order to provide easy access to our reports and a greater awareness of the role of the Barbados Audit Office.
