The Grenlec Community Partnership Initiative (GCPI) was established in 1994 to support initiatives that positively impact people islandwide through collaboration with community partners. Over the years, GCPI has played an important role in strengthening communities by supporting programmes that contribute to social development, skills building, and national progress.

GCPI priority areas include Social Services, Community Development, Education, Environment, Science and Technology, Energy, Sport, Arts, Heritage and Culture.

Grenlec Debates

The 2025 Grenlec Debates brought together schools across the tri-island state for a season of discussion and exchange on topical issues. Congratulations to St. Andrew’s Anglican Secondary School for earning its fourth championship and to all the schools for the high-quality performances of students throughout the Season.

NEWLO Classroom Furniture

The NEWLO project was especially meaningful because it provided an opportunity for students to contribute by building combo-chairs for their own classrooms as part of their skills training. 

Preserving Traditional Mas

Traditional Mas remains a vital part of Grenada’s cultural expression and identity, deeply rooted in history, creativity and community participation. Its continued vitality reflects the dedication of traditional masqueraders, organisers, and cultural practitioners who work tirelessly to document, showcase and preserve these traditions for future generations.

Beyond Traditional Mas, the rich cultural heritage of our Tri-Island is also expressed through longstanding events such as Lion’s Ole Mas, the Carriacou Maroon & String Band Festival and Petite Martinique Whitsuntide Regatta. Led by committed organisers and supported by community partners, these events play an important role in strengthening cultural awareness, participation, and pride across our tri-island nation.

Rebuilding in Carriacou & Petite Martinique

In the aftermath of Hurricane Beryl, recovery efforts in Carriacou were driven by the resilience and determination of residents, various partners and communities residents working together to rebuild and outfit homes.

GRENCODA

GRENCODA is a longstanding GCPI partner, and its impact continues to be recognised through support for initiatives such as the Ursula Baptiste Child Development Centre. Refurbishments carried out between 2024 and 2025, including roof and kitchen upgrades, helped improve the centre’s facilities and support GRENCODS’s ongoing work in early childhood development.

Care Institutions

Annual grants continued to be provided to a number of care institutions as part of ongoing support efforts focused on maintaining essential services and facilities.

Women’s Cricket and Netball

Reviving a longstanding partnership with the Grenada Cricket Association, the team began execution of an ambitious strategy to develop women’s cricket in Grenada.

In addition, annual collaboration with Netball Grenada and the St. Mark’s Football League continued, promoting organised sport, youth development and community engagement through healthy competitions and programmes.
