• Unfortunately there is a limited amount of money to spend

• The total budget available £84 million over 4 years.

• There is also a maximum yearly amount of £21 million that must not be exceeded

• The cost of each infrastructure is set in the third column.

• The cost of items marked with an * can be spread over 2 years.

So in pairs decide on what your highest priorities are and build them into your action plan over the 4 years. However, you are restricted to spend £21 million pounds each year.

Jobs to doJobs to do• Job 1 - Discuss with your group what the people of Montserrat

need. There are 45 available items to choose from.

• Job 2 - To make this easier use the priority column to rate each entry

• 1 = very important 4 = insignificant

• Job 3 - Once you have gone through each item you must decide how you are going to spend the allotted money and in which year you plan to build each structure.

• Think carefully about your decision you will need to explain and justify it later.

• Job 4 - Record your decisions on the matrix and action plan forms.

Remember do not go over £21 million per year.To make some decisions more cost efficient you can spend the construction

cross over two years. These are shown on the matrix as *.
