DPM Policy Platform 2026

Three anchors. One Grenada.

Grenada's best days are ahead. The Democratic People's Movement has a clear plan built on three anchors: work that pays, food we grow and catch ourselves, and healthcare that reaches every family.

Our goal

A Grenada where every family can work, eat well and get care close to home.

01Jobs, homes, skills and the North

Work that pays and stays

Our young people should be able to build a life right here at home. We will help them own their first home, train them for good jobs, cut the cost of power and travel, grow the North and give every child a strong start.

First Home Grant

  • EC$35,000 for a single first-time buyer under 35, or EC$50,000 for a couple.
  • It is a grant, with nothing to pay back.
  • Paid for from existing housing funds, Crown land proceeds and developer contributions, with no new spending.

Check what you could get

1,000 paid apprenticeships and Grenadians First

  • Earn while you learn through TAMCC and NEWLO.
  • CVQ Level 1 and 2 training in construction, electrical work and agro-processing.
  • 60% Grenadian labour on public projects by year two.

Rooftop solar with no money down

Grenlec installs solar panels on your home at no upfront cost. Grenada's net metering law already allows it. We will restore fair net metering rates through PURC and clear the approvals that have blocked household solar.

  1. Grenlec installs solar on your roof. You pay nothing upfront.
  2. You use the power. Extra power sent to the grid pays off the panels.
  3. Once it is paid off, Grenlec pays you for the extra power.

Households can save up to EC$160 a month. Vulnerable households go first.

Northern Economic Zone

Develop the North. Connect the people. Grow the economy.

We will unlock the North's potential in fisheries, agriculture, tourism, small business, culture and the blue economy.

  • A Northern Fisheries and Marine Hub for fishing, processing, boat repair and marine services.
  • Better fish landing, ice, cold storage and processing facilities.
  • A Northern Tourism Corridor linking beaches, heritage, culture, local food, nature and community tourism.
  • A Northern Business and Enterprise Centre for registration, financing information, training and technical support.
  • Priority for roads, drainage, lighting, internet, water and public facilities.
  • Youth apprenticeships and jobs in fisheries, agriculture, construction, mechanics, hospitality, marine services and technology.
  • Hotels, restaurants, supermarkets and public institutions buying more from northern farmers and fisherfolk.
  • Targeted incentives for businesses that set up or expand in the North.

Affordable, reliable transport

Moving people. Reducing costs. Connecting opportunity.

A targeted bus fare subsidy will make travel more affordable while keeping bus operators in business.

  • Subsidised student fares, with free or highly subsidised travel in designated circumstances.
  • Reduced fares for seniors and persons with disabilities.
  • A Monthly Worker Transport Pass for eligible low- and middle-income workers.
  • A Northern transport programme connecting communities to schools, jobs, healthcare and commercial centres.
  • Government compensation to registered bus operators for approved subsidised fares.
  • Explore a Grenada Transport Card for students, seniors and eligible workers.
  • Subsidies tied to safe, well-maintained buses and dependable routes.

Education, equity and innovation

Every child deserves the opportunity to succeed.
  • Quality education from early childhood through tertiary level.
  • Mastery-based learning, with less dependence on high-stakes exams.
  • Modern schools with broadband, laboratories, technology and digital learning tools.
  • Investment in teacher training, professional development and teacher well-being.
  • More technical, vocational and entrepreneurial education linked to the needs of the economy.

Less red tape

  • Faster approvals so Grenadians can start and grow a business.
02Farmers, fisherfolk and food security

Food that feeds us

Our farmers and fisherfolk can feed this nation. We will give them fair prices, land to farm, safer seas and markets they can count on, so more of what we eat is grown and caught right here.

Fair pricesAgreed with farmers before they plant
Every parishA trained fisheries extension officer
24 hoursFisheries communication and monitoring

A rebuilt MNIB

  • Fair, pre-agreed prices for our farmers, so they know what they will earn before they plant.
  • MNIB as a buyer and seller for local produce, connecting farmers to markets.
  • Cold storage so less of our harvest goes to waste.
  • Agreements for hotels to buy from Grenadian farmers.

A Land Bank and sustainable living

  • Idle land opened up for farming.
  • Preserve our mangroves and take a keener interest in marine protection.

Stronger fisheries

Safer fisherfolk. Better markets. Sustainable livelihoods.

Fisheries provide jobs, food and nutrition security, foreign exchange and coastal livelihoods. We will build a modern, profitable, safe and sustainable sector.

  • Stronger fisheries cooperatives and co-management among Government, the Fisheries Division, fisherfolk and processors.
  • At least one trained fisheries extension officer or assistant in every parish.
  • A stronger Fisheries Division Biology Unit with qualified staff, equipment and technology for regional and international reporting.
  • Modernised duty-free concessions, including satellite communication, and a Fisherman's ID Card to be explored.
  • Practical NIS contribution arrangements and education for self-employed fishers, worked out with fisherfolk organisations.

Safety at sea

  • Modern VHF radios with GPS/DSC, AIS tracking and stronger search-and-rescue coordination.
  • A 24-hour fisheries communication and monitoring station.
  • Slipways, gear lockers, floodlights and security cameras at vulnerable fishing beaches.

Better fish markets

  • Fish markets upgraded to HACCP standards, with reliable, energy-efficient ice-making and cold storage.
  • Local, regional and international markets, plus value-added products such as canned, salted and smoked fish.
  • Fisheries cottage industries that buy surplus fish, cut waste and create jobs.

Grow more here. Import less.

  • Public targets for cutting food imports.
  • Lower food prices for families as more food is grown and caught at home.
03Care in every community

Healthcare that reaches you

Healthcare must be accessible, reliable and affordable, wherever you live and whatever you can pay. No one should travel for hours to see a nurse, only to find the pharmacy shelf empty.
