utilization of knowledge as one of the most effective ways of reducing the level of poverty in the domestic economy. The Prime Minister is convinced that Information and Communication Technology must be embraced as a vital tool in the next phase of Grenada's development. "My government is totally committed to creating an attractive policy and regulatory environment to facilitate the development …of Grenada as a Knowledge Society" The Government also designated the new decade as the Knowledge Enhancement Decade for Grenada, and set out a series of specific objectives to be achieved within the ten-year period. "At least fifty percent of our human resources [must be] engaged in highvalue knowledge-based activities, including information and communication technology, financial services, education, agriculture, tourism, sport and entertainment" The Grenada government recognizes that the development of a Knowledge-economy requires the intensification and deepening of the domestic capability for acquisition and utilization of knowledge in all sectors of the economy. Grenada will embrace information and communication technologies and use them as development tools. This Strategy and Action Plan is one more step in the development of Grenada as a knowledge-based economy. 6 A STRATEGY AND ACTION PLAN FOR GRENADA Anurag Sinha
