Social Sector Investment Programme 2013

This edition of the Social Sector Investment Programme (SSIP) will focus on three (3) pillars of development: - Pillar 1: People-Centred Development - Pillar 2: Poverty Eradication and Social Justice - Pillar 3: National and Personal Security

Despite a slowdown in economic activity and the consequent decline in the Gross Domestic Product (GDP), the Government of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago, through its social safety net programmes, continued to provide support for the most vulnerable groups in society. The government introduced a number of initiatives to address issues such as crime, at-risk youth, poverty, persons with disabilities and ex-prisoners rehabilitation.
