Broad Outcome Goals
In the 2009/10 the Government outlined eighteen broad outcome goals for the 2009/10 to 2012/13 period. These outcomes are reflective of the United Democratic Party (UDP) Government’s vision, objectives and priorities. These broad outcome goals are:
1. Creating a Vibrant yet Stable and Sustainable Economy
2. Setting the Stage for Success in the Tourism Industry
3. Addressing Crime and Policing
4. Developing a World Class Education System to Foster Growth and to Benefit from Development
5. Improving Healthcare
6. Paving a better way forward for Cayman Brac and Little Cayman
7. Developing our Youth
8. Strengthening Families
9. Restoring Prudent Fiscal Management
10. Ensuring Success and Participation of Caymanians in the Financial Services Industry
11. Supporting our Caymanian Small Businesses
12. Preparing our Labor Market for Future Opportunities
13. Improving the Lives of the Elderly and Disabled
14. Reducing Substance Abuse
15. Empowering Women
16. Addressing Energy and the Environment
17. Strengthening our Infrastructure
18. Preserving our Culture
19. Enhancing Agriculture
These broad outcome goals indicate the Government’s priorities and focus and they provide a guide within which the Government’s policy decisions are made. All of the outcomes are important and interrelated; the achievement of one outcome will affect the other.
The Government recognises that while its policy actions can have a significant impact on the achievement of the broad outcomes the Government is not in total control of them, international events and the actions of local residents and businesses can also have a significant impact on whether the outcomes are achieved.
Specific Outcomes
The Public Management and Finance Law (2010 Revision) requires the Government to establish the specific outcomes that will be targeted to achieve the eighteen broad outcomes above. Accordingly, the specific outcomes the Government intends to pursue are reflected in Table 1.
In addition to establishing the specific actions, the Government has to establish robust measures for those outcomes. Such measures will allow the Government, the Legislative Assembly and the public alike to monitor outcome achievement.
