- Food Security
- Economic Development/Growth
- Renewable Energy
- Combating Money Laundering and Terrorist Financing.
In submitting their priority learning needs, Ministries and Departments were also required to consider the following;
- The number of critical posts which have been vacant for extended periods and have proven hard to fill;
- Positions identified as critical, hard to fill and approved for funding under the Technical Cooperation Programme;
- The areas required for succession planning and business continuity;
- The areas identified where serving officers need to attain the basic qualifications for their current job.
The number of awards issued yearly is dependent on the budget allocated to scholarships and the number of awardees who would complete their studies in the particular year. The Government of Monserrat wishes to extend congratulations to the awardees and best.
