This is the EU-funded project in St Kitts and Nevis revising the Social Development Assistance Act that would provide the appropriate legislative framework to improve the integration and implementation of social protection policies and programmes relevant to the current and future needs of the most vulnerable groups of population in St. Kitts and Nevis such as the National Social Protection Strategy and Plan of Action 2012-2017.
