President Steve Joseph sees DPSU hosting of a virtual private/public sector stakeholders meeting yesterday to seek consultation & optimal collaboration, as a progressive move to start the new year 2024.

The Dominica Public Service Union hosted an important process to get the new year 2024 going on a platform of consultation and collaboration, at a virtual meeting held yesterday. President of the DPSU, Steve Joseph, expressed his view that insufficient efforts have been dedicated over the years to examine and establish an optimal mode of collaboration among stakeholders in the country.
 
He emphasized the necessity for exploration and dialogue aimed at identifying the most effective collaborative framework. Joseph further highlighted the pivotal role of the public sector in facilitating investment by creating an enabling policy environment and urged key state and other agencies to actively contribute to that, citing marketing as one illustrative aspect where their involvement and collaboration could significantly contribute to overall economic development.

Joseph went on to emphasize the essential requirement for more extensive research that relies on factual evidence instead of prevailing speculation. He noted a notable gap in Dominica concerning data availability, highlighting the absence of a nationwide census as a significant example.

Dominica Public Service Union (DPSU) President, Steve Joseph.
