Abstract:
A new species of deep-water brachyuran crab, Euphrosynoplax dincao, from southeastern Brazil is described and illustrated. The genus Euphrosynoplax currently consists of two species, E. clausa Guinot, 1969, and E. campechiensis Vázquez-Bader & Gracia, 1991, both only known from the Gulf of Mexico. The new species can be easily separated from its northern counterparts by a suite of carapace and appendage characters. Euphrosynoplax campechiensis is recorded for the first time from the Caribbenan Sea (Guadeloupe and between Saint Kitts and Nevis).

Abstract:
Abstract The Caribbean spiny lobster, Panulirus argus (Latreille, 1804), is an important resource in the Western Atlantic Ocean, Caribbean Sea, and Gulf of Mexico. A nemertean egg predator of P. argus, Carcinonemertes conanobrieniSimpson, Ambrosio & Baeza, 2017, was recorded in Florida in 2017 and Colombia in 2018. This study sought to investigate the presence of C. conanobrieni in P. argus in Saint Kitts and Nevis, eastern Caribbean Sea. Nemerteans were observed in the brood masses of P. argus. Molecular techniques confirmed its presence in the P. argus population on Saint Kitts. Egg, juvenile, and adult stages of C. conanobrieni and of an undescribed Carcinonemertes sp. were found in the brood masses of 27 of 31 (87%) ovigerous P. argus. Differences in the shape of the nemertean egg masses (string versus spherical arrangement) were confirmed as two distinct species of Carcinonemertes Coe, 1902 using molecular analyses. The juvenile stage of the undescribed Carcinonemertes sp. was detected in the gills of 72 of 320 (23%) of the P. argus individuals from Saint Kitts. The prevalence of branchial nemertean infestation was not significantly different among male and female P. argus. Female lobsters with ovaries in early stages of gonadal maturation were more likely to have branchial nemerteans relative to those with ovaries in late stages of maturation, suggestive of nemertean migration from gills to egg mass once the host oviposits. This is the first report of C. conanobrieni in the Caribbean spiny lobster from the eastern Caribbean, which is approximately 1,300 miles from Florida and 1,000 miles from Colombia. This is also the first report of an undescribed nemertean worm in P. argus. The high prevalence of Carcinonemertes spp. in P. argus raises concern for the extent to which these egg predators may be impacting P. argus in Saint Kitts, an important fishery on the island.

Abstract:
Dermatophilosis is a form of dermatitis caused by the bacterium Dermatophilus congolensis. The disease usually presents as localized purulent dermatitis, crusty hair masses or widespread matting of the hair. This condition is most common in domestic ruminants; but it can also affect other wild animals and humans. Antimicrobial therapy is used in many regions to treat clinical dermatophilosis with varying results. In this study, we aimed to assess the antimicrobial susceptibility of D. congolensis isolates. Fifty-two isolates were obtained from animals showing clinical signs of the disease at farms in St. Kitts. The isolates were then confirmed as D. congolensis by phenotypic tests, PCR and MALDI-TOF Mass Spectrometry. Furthermore, minimum inhibitory concentrations (MIC) of 16 antimicrobial agents were determined, using the broth microdilution method. Although most antimicrobials showed MICs in line with published values, the tetracycline results displayed a clear bimodal distribution over the tested range, with most isolates showing low MICs and 6 isolates much higher values (+/− 100-fold increase). These results indicate the presence of acquired tetracycline resistance in D. congolensis on the island of St. Kitts. Whether the current observation has implications for efficacy of treating the disease must be confirmed in further research.

Les dispositions concernant le droit à la sécession sont très rarement incluses dans les Constitutions fédérales. En ce moment, seules les Constitutions des fédérations de l’Éthiopie et de Saint-Kitts-et-Nevis mentionnent explicitement un droit à la sécession (Kreptul, 2003, p. 79).

Abstract:
Introduction: After a large outbreak of dengue virus (DENV) serotype-3 in Saint Kitts and Nevis (SKN) in 2008, we performed a cross-sectional study to determine the prevalence of anti-DENV immunoglobulin G (IgG) antibodies in expatriate and local persons affiliated with an American veterinary school there. Methodology: This campus community comprised mostly expatriate students and faculty and Kittitian administrative staff. In 2009, a stratified random sample of students, faculty and staff was invited to complete an electronic survey to assess risk factors for DENV and provide blood for testing for anti-DENV IgG antibodies by an enzyme-linked immunosorbent assay. IgG-positive specimens were also tested by a 90% plaque reduction neutralization test (PRNT90) to determine immunoreactivity to DENV (1-4) serotypes and West Nile virus. Risk factors for anti-DENV IgG seropositivity were determined using simple and adjusted logistic regression. Results: Of the 118 participants, the overall prevalence of DENV IgG antibodies was 44.1% (95% confidence interval [CI]: 35.1-53.0%), ranging from 30.1% in students, 100.0% in staff and 57.9% in faculty (p < 0.001). Duration of residence in St. Kitts was the only variable significantly associated with seropositivity on multiple logistic regression (adjusted odds ratio [95% CI]: 1.21 [1.07-1.37]). The serotype of DENV was determined in 11 persons: DENV-1 (n = 4), DENV-2 (n = 3), and DENV-3 (n = 4). Conclusions: Expatriate students and faculty moving to St. Kitts from non-endemic areas were at high risk of DENV infection. There is a need for increased emphasis on pre-travel mosquito-borne virus prevention education for persons moving to St. Kitts to study and work.

Abstract:
AbstractThis article presents a political economic analysis of exit from federations. After the federation has formed, members’ benefits from it may be different than expected. If a member ends up not benefitting, it may wish to secede i.e. exit the federation. Based on formal models, we show how state-contingent exit penalties can induce socially efficient exit decisions: they force the secessionist member to take into account the lost benefits of the federation for the other. Even if ex-ante specified exit penalties cannot be made state-contingent, they may still enhance social welfare by preventing forceful exit. Empirical evidence concerning Montenegro, Saint Kitts and Nevis, and the EU is compatible with these claims. In spite of the simplifications inherent to any modeling exercise, we hope that our results stimulate more research into exit clauses as a means to mitigate the problem of violent secessionism.

Abstract:
Objective. To assess the ability of low-income families to obtain a standard basket of healthy foods before and during the COVID-19 pandemic. Methods. The costs of 191 food items were averaged from supermarkets, municipal markets, wholesalers, and community food outlets in high- and low-income areas in three Caribbean countries. The analysis compared foods not only by selecting high- and low-ranked commodities but by the proportions of those foods, by food group, that will be required to meet a low-cost, nutritionally balanced diet of 2 400 kcal. Results. The main finding was that low-income households will need between 22% and 47% of their earnings to obtain a healthy diet. Despite higher food prices in Saint Kitts and Nevis, low-income households there will need a smaller proportion of their income to obtain a similar basket of foods than in Jamaica or Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. Conclusions. While the COVID-19 pandemic has added economic stressors to low-income households the basic vulnerability of the poor to obtain a healthy diet remains. Despite country variations, the findings point to the need for an increase in the minimum wage, particularly in Jamaica. It is essential to embed policies that ensure reduced economic and social vulnerability at the household level.

Abstract:
This study investigates the possibility of genetic diversity between geographically separated demes of Cercopithecus aethiops on the islands of St. Kitts and Nevis. The island of St. Kitts was represented by two geographic demes, one from the Northern tip of the island and one from the Southern tip of the island. The island of Nevis was considered as one separate deme.
Eight plasma proteins were analyzed with polyacrylamide gel electrophoresis. A preliminary DNA investigation was also completed.
Three of the plasma proteins--transferrin, albumin, and an unidentified protein that migrated faster than albumin--appeared to be monomorphic. Three proteins in the alpha globulin region (between transferrin and albumin) and pseudocholinesterase were polymorphic in the total population. The DNA locus identified by the Human Molecular Fingerprinting #1 probe (locus D1Z2) was also polymorphic in all demes.
The levels of heterozygosity for North Island, South Island, and Nevis were 2.02%, 2.49%, and 2.49% respectively.
North and South Island demes were more similar to each other than either was to the Nevis deme. The South Island deme was more unlike Nevis than the North Island deme. These figures do not provide sufficient genetic evidence to evaluate divergence within the West Indian vervets according to geography.

Leon, Rose. "Étude comparée des systèmes éducatifs préélémentaires des pays de l’OECO (Sainte-Lucie, Saint-Kitts, Martinique) : politiques éducatives, enjeux linguistiques et culturels : quelle évaluation ?" Thesis, Antilles, 2019. http://www.theses.fr/2019ANTI0598.

Abstract:
L’éducation préélémentaire n’a jamais eu une place importante dans les systèmes éducatifs des pays intégrés dans l'OECO par rapport aux autres niveaux. Dans certains cas tels que celui de Sainte-Lucie, l’absence des politiques éducatives viables pour gérer ce niveau contribue à un pourcentage très élevé des petits enfants non scolarisés et donc qui ne reçoivent pas la stimulation nécessaire pour se préparer pour leur cursus éducatif. En 2013, afin de répondre aux nombreuses demandes pour qu’il s’investisse dans l’éducation préélémentaire, le Ministère de l’éducation de Sainte-Lucie, en collaboration avec le Département de l’éducation préélémentaire, a lancé un programme de l’engagement visant à améliorer la qualité de l’éducation préélémentaire dans le pays. Mais, quelle est la limite de cet engagement si des véritables politiques éducatives ne sont pas mises en place ? De l'autre côté, Saint-Kitts et Nevis semblent avoir mieux maîtrisé l'éducation de leurs enfants, permettant de parler d'un succès remarquable. Cependant, pour tous ces pays et dans une perspective plus globale, il s'agit de rendre l'éducation accessible pour tous.Un des objectifs de la Banque Mondiale pour apaiser les crises de pauvretés dans le monde, c’est d’assurer l’éducation des masses avant l’année 2015. Il s’agit de rendre l’éducation primaire obligatoire pour tous. Les pays anglophones de l’Organisation de la Caraïbe Orientale, ayant accompli cet objectif bien avant cette promulgation par la Banque Mondiale, ont décidé de se concentrer sur l’éducation secondaire pendant la dernière décennie. Quels que soient les points positifs ou les conséquences négatives, ils réclament d’avoir accompli cet objectif. À cet égard, ils portent un très grand intérêt au niveau préélémentaire, mais quels projets pour l'avenir ? Des enquêtes menées à Saint-Lucie, par nos soins, en 2013 ont révélé une éducation préélémentaire sans structures, généralement gérée par des « promoteurs d’entreprises ». Par ailleurs, la créolisation de ces pays joue un rôle important dans l’éducation des jeunes. En effet, un enfant évolue dans un contexte culturel particulier à travers lequel il apprend à s’exprimer. Toutes ces considérations sont nécessaires dans cette éducation de la masse. Parallèlement, les Antilles françaises (Martinique et Guadeloupe), membres de l’Union Européenne et nouveaux membres associés de l’OECO sont soumises à une double contrainte : les standards éducatifs européens et la volonté de prendre en compte les spécificités culturelles et linguistiques dans un contexte caribéen. En outre, leur intégration dans l’OECO est l’occasion de comparer les politiques éducatives préélémentaires, afin d'évaluer les possibilités d'un fonctionnementopérationnel
Early childhood education had never occupied an important place in the education systems of the OECO islands as compared to other levels of education. In cases like St. Lucia, the absence of viable education policies to guide this level of education results in a high percentage of young children not accessing early childhood education, consequently not receiving the necessary stimulation to prepare for formal education.In 2013, in an effort to respond to the demands of the population for greater investment in early childhood education, the Ministry of Education in St. Lucia, in collaboration with the Early Childhood Department, launched a programme committing themselves to improving the quality of pre-elementary education in the country.However, what are the limits of this commitment if it is not reflected in the Education Act? On the other hand, St. Kitts seems to have effectively organised the education of their young children, which enables them to boast of tremendous success. However, as far as it applies to all countries in a more global context, the thrust is on making education accessible to all.One of the objectives of the World Bank towards alleviating poverty in the world, is ensuring education for all before the year 2015. It entails making primary education compulsory. The English-speaking islands of the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States, having accomplished this objective long before the promulgation by the World Bank, decided to concentrate on secondary education during the last decade.Regardless of the positive or the negative consequences, they pronounce that this objective has been accomplished. In light of this, they have focused on pre-elementary education, but how do they project into the future? A survey carried out in St. Lucia in 2013, as a preliminary stage of this research, revealed a preelementary programme without structure, generally governed by local entrepreneurs. Added to this, the creolisation of these countries plays an important role in the education of the young. In fact, a child is nurtured in a particular cultural context through which he learns to express himself. All these considerations are necessary in this thrust towards education for all. Simultaneously, the French Antilles, members of the European Union and recent associate members of the Organisation of Caribbean States (OECO), are subject to a dual challenge: the European educational standards and the eagerness to take into consideration the cultural and linguistic specificities in a Caribbean context. In effect, the integration of Martinique in the OECO gives an opportunity to compare pre-elementary education policies in order to evaluate the possibilities of working on common ground
La educación de primera infancia nunca ha ocupado un lugar importante en los sistemas de educación de las islas de la OECO comparados a otros niveles de educación. En casos como el de St. Lucia, la ausencia de políticas educacionales para guiar este nivel de educación resulta en un alto porcentaje de jóvenes sin acceso a la educación de primaria infancia, y por consiguiente sin la motivación necesaria para ingresarse en la educación formal. En 2013, tratando de dar respuesta a las demandas de la población por una inversión mayor en la educación de primaria infancia, el Ministerio de Educación en St. Lucia, en colaboración con el Departamento de Primera Infancia, lanzó un programa comprometiéndose al mejoramiento de la calidad de la enseñanza de primera infancia en el país.Sin embargo, ¿cuáles son los límites de este compromiso si no se refleja en la Ley de Educación? Por otro lado, parece que St. Kitts ha tenido una organización efectiva de la educación de sus jóvenes, lo cual los permite jactarse de mucho éxito. Sin embargo, en cuanto a la aplicación a otros países en un contexto global, el empuje es de hacer que la educación sea accesible a todo el mundo.Uno de los objetivos del Banco Mundial hacia la reducción de la pobreza en el mundo, es asegurar la educación para todos antes del año 2015. Impone un carácter obligatorio a la educación de primera infancia. Las islas de habla inglesa de la OECO, habiendo realizado este objetivo mucho antes de la declaración por el Banco Mundial, decidieron concentrar en la educación secundaria durante la última década. A pesar de las consecuencias positivas o negativas, declaran que se ha cumplido este objetivo. En luz de esto, han concentrado en la educación pre-elemental, pero ¿cómo se proyectan hacia el futuro? Una encuesta llevada a cabo en St. Lucia en 2013, como fase preliminar de esta investigación, reveló un programa de educación pre-elemental sin estructura, generalmente controlado por empresarios locales.Agregado a esto, la criollización de estos países juega papel importante en la educación de la juventud. De hecho, un niño se cría en un entorno cultural determinado mediante el cual aprende a expresarse. Todas estas consideraciones son necesarias en este empujón hacia la educación para todos. Al mismo tiempo, las Antillas Francesas, miembros de la Unión Europea y recientes miembros asociados de la OECO, están sujetos a un desafío doble: las normas educacionales europeas y la avidez de tomar en cuenta las especificidades lingüísticas en un contexto caribeño. En efecto, la integración de Martinica a la OECO proporciona la oportunidad de comparar las políticas de la educación de primera infancia para evaluar las posibilidades de colaborar en un terreno común

This study examines the Citizenship by Investment program in St. Kitts and Nevis with an emphasis on the effects and public perceptions. In focus are two main aspects- Economic and Social Development. CBI was first launched by St. Kitts and Nevis in 1984 and is no new topic in our ever-increasingly globalized world. In recent years the CBI industry has experienced significant growth with thousands of people applying for alternative citizenship due to stricter immigration policies. It is thus being used as a tool to attract foreign investment. CBI has numerous benefits but can also be controversial and create risks if inappropriately managed. The researcher hoped to provide suggestions for future policymaking related to the CBI program. Secondly, by discussing the effects of the program on the economic and social development of St. Kitts and Nevis, the researcher hoped that this could be used as a guide by countries considering the implementation of the program as well as those already running it. Finally, the researcher hoped to add to the existing body of literature. A mixed-method consisting of questionnaires and interviews was used to analyze the citizens’ perceptions of the program. While secondary data was used to discuss the effects. The findings of this study indicate that the program offers several benefits that can be obtained if it is appropriately managed. Most participants believe that the program has had an effect on the economic and social development of the country however the social developments can mostly be seen in recent years as elections approach. Participants expressed that the program can also bring about threats as a result of its mismanagement and sudden fall in demand for citizenship. Secondary data also indicates similar findings. There seems to be a loophole in the program as a government policy exists with regards to giving any information to the public about the program. The researcher recommends that the government of St. Kitts and Nevis innovates with regards to other means of generating revenue rather than being overly reliant on the CBI program which the country’s financial status is heavily dependent upon. Also, restructuring the program is necessary in terms of management and transparency to remain afloat as well as continued sensitization of the public so they can be well informed.

Background: The Caribbean developing countries are experiencing an increase in chronic kidney diseases and related incidences. As a small developing state St. Kitts and Nevis has recognize the vast impact of chronic kidney disease and records one of the highest incidences of renal disease in the northern Caribbean. An integral part of chronic kidney disease is patient education about nutrition management, increased physical activity, and improvements of lifestyle choices. However, regardless of the availability of information, there remains a limited understanding of people’s knowledge, attitudes, and practices associated with chronic kidney disease in St Kitts Nevis. Methods: This descriptive correlational study designed, looked at patient’s knowledge attitude and practices of chronic kidney disease. Data was collected from 114 patients with chronic kidney disease stages 1-4 were referred and interviewed between July – September 2016, at the Eureka Health Services Medical Clinic in Nevis and the Out Patient Clinic at the JNF Hospital in St. Kitts using the chronic kidney diseases Screening Index Tool structured questionnaire. Results: Participants knowledge, attitudes and practices mean scores regarding CKD were knowledge 13.67 (58%), attitudes 53.79 (72%) and practices 46.66 (77%). Among demographics education and employment was associated with knowledge, age and marital status was associated with attitudes whilst, education and marital status associated with practices. The interrelationship between the variables showed knowledge and attitudes have positive correlation to practices, however, participants’ knowledge was not associated with attitudes. Regarding hierarchical regression analysis, attitude was the most important predictor of practices among the study participants, it predicted 12% of total variance. Implications for Practice: Efforts should be made provide more information about chronic kidney disease focusing on the factors associated with knowledge attitude and behavioral practices, management and controlling of early stage of chronic kidney disease, the importance of diet and exercise, and adhering to medical treatment. The CKD Screening Index tool is one avenue that hospital institutions collaborating with the health promotion unit can explore to screen persons who may be at risk for CKD thus increasing the awareness and to detect CKD at an earlier stage so that appropriate preventive measures can be implemented.

Background: One of the most disabling problems of DM is diabetic foot ulcers, left untreated may lead to amputation. Globally, diabetic foot problems are increasing and St. Kitts and Nevis is no exception from such problem. Diabetic foot and amputation can be prevented with proper foot care, without adequate knowledge, patients with foot problems cannot practice foot care correctly. Yet diabetic foot and amputation remain the main complication of DM in spite of efforts to educate patients about the condition and proper foot care, suggesting that knowledge among patients with the disease remains inadequate which would affect the practice of proper foot care in St. Kitts and Nevis. Purpose: The purpose of the study was to investigate the demographic and disease related characteristics associated with knowledge, attitudes, and practices regarding diabetic foot and amputation among diabetic patients in St. Kitts and Nevis. Methods: This retrospective case control study, with 210 diabetic participants, 89 with diabetic foot and amputation, and 121 without diabetic foot and amputation, were interviewed at two main hospitals, primary health centers and a private doctor’s office, from July to August 2018. This study used the Knowledge, Attitudes, and Practices questionnaire on diabetic foot to conduct research. For analysis, chi-square, t-test and hierarchical logistic regression were used to determine the relationship between independent variables and dependent variables, and to predict the outcome of diabetic foot and amputation. Results: It was found that from the demographic and disease related characteristics in gender, occupation, and duration of DM, was associated with DFA. Overall it was found that the participants had fairly good knowledge, favourable attitudes, and adequate practices of foot care. However, in hierarchical logistic regression KAP was not a significant predictor only gender (OR=3.35; 95%Cl=1.65-7.57; p=<0.01) occupation (OR=0.38; 95%Cl=0.17-0.86; p=<0.05), and duration of DM (OR=0.38; 95%Cl= 0.15- 0.97; p=< 0.05), with Nagelkerk R2 in model 1=0.265 and model 2= 0.286 showed to be significant predictors of DFA. Conclusion: The study was able to identify factors that were associated with diabetic foot and amputation. Based on the findings, strategies to prevent diabetic foot and amputation should be focus on measures to decrease the amount of problems related to diabetic foot. By ensuring specialized training of health providers in foot care management, the accessibility of information regarding proper foot care and implement programs which would target the general public to educate and to increase the awareness on DM and the potential risk of diabetic foot problem.

Abstract:
The purpose of this study was to document the ethnohistory of the leprosarium Hansen Home and to examine the local knowledge ofleprosy in the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis. Kittitians often responded to questions about leprosy in 2000 with the statement "it's not catching." In 2002, the research goal was to address leprosy from a Kittitian vantage point. Through the lens of anthropological inquiry, archival materials were examined and a variety of stories were gathered about Hansen Home and the local knowledge of leprosy. The latter task was accomplished with ethnographic techniques, particularly semi-structured interviews. The accounts collected were multilayered, exposing culturally significant aspects of identity construction and blame assignment. As the local knowledge of leprosy was revealed, a clearer interpretation of this contagion was attained. A consistent trend has been the Othering of leprosy; assigning blame to the Other for bringing leprosy to St. Kitts and more specifically to Sandy Point. Leprosy is currently defined in the context of St. Kitts as not contagious. This is a reflection of Kittitians' ability to cope with leprosy and is a testament to the success of the public health care delivery agenda set in St. Kitts and Nevis. Despite their efforts to eradicate the disease, the legacy of leprosy still affects many people today. This thesis describes the medical pluralism of the local knowledge of leprosy, which is influenced by both biomedical and ethnomedical knowledge. Furthermore, this thesis describes life for the person with leprosy who lived on both the inside and outside of Hansen Home. It also describes a gradual shift in understanding contagion in St. Kitts, from a point of highly contagious to an understanding of not contagious.

In today’s increasingly globalized world, for many persons (like entrepreneurs and investors), having a second passport is deemed as necessary due to the benefits it affords the holder. This is one of the reasons why this topic of Citizenship by Investment (CBI) has gained more attention in recent years. The idea of a CBI program was pioneered by St. Kitts and Nevis in 1984 and since then, several other countries have adapted, modified and implemented programs of their own. Many of them for the main purpose of country development from increased revenue and investments. The aim of this research was to compare two well-known CBI programs in different regions namely the Caribbean and Europe by looking at the programs in Malta and St. Kitts and Nevis. The researcher also hoped to make suggestions for St. Vincent and the Grenadines (SVG) after a thorough analysis of secondary sources from the two countries mentioned above and to also contribute to the existing literature. The research is of a qualitative nature involving the case study method, where the available literature and other sources on Malta and St. Kitts and Nevis were investigated. Several interviews were also conducted with government officials, scholars and civil servants in SVG to find out their stance on the program and their knowledge of the benefits and risks of the CBI program. The findings of the study show that there are numerous benefits to be derived from the CBI program, however, within the Caribbean, there are signs which suggest that the program is nearing its end as some scholars say it is now a “race to the bottom”. The interviews conducted reveals that many interviewees believe that the risks outweigh the benefits to be gained from the program as it relates to SVG. The researcher recommends that SVG shouldn’t enter this dwindling industry until there is some reform or unification by the existing CBI programs in the Caribbean.

This thesis examined the perceptions of citizens of the Federation of Saint Christopher (St. Kitts) and Nevis regarding the impact of The Republic of China (Taiwan’s) foreign aid provided to this country. In focus were three main aspects of development – Education, Social and Infrastructure. Using an online survey generator, a questionnaire (Cronbach Alpha of .886) was administered, with a response retrieval rate of fifty-seven percent. Generally, citizens agreed that Taiwan’s foreign aid had a strong educational impact (74%) through the provision of higher education scholarships, Information and Communication Technology (ICT) development (50%) and least impact on infrastructural development (11%). Empirical evidence of Taiwan’s contribution at work in this developing nation was presented to support the findings. It was therefore concluded that foreign aid received by the government and people of Saint Christopher (St. Kitts) and Nevis over the decade 2002-2012 from the Republic of China (Taiwan), has in fact, impacted the Educational, Social and Infrastructural Development of St. Kitts and Nevis. In addition, it is hoped that through thorough assessment of available information on Taiwan’s foreign aid to St. Kitts and Nevis, this research can provide guidance for future policy decisions on seeking and/or acceptance of foreign aid by the government and people of St. Kitts and Nevis. This research also offers a cross-check and provides recommendations on realignment of national policy to guide future decision making for both the Republic of China and the Federation of St. Kitts and Nevis on the topic of foreign aid.
