SPORT MINISTER CUDJOE ANNOUNCES EXPANSION OF THE REWARDS AND INCENTIVES GRANTS
The Honourable Shamfa Cudjoe, Minister of Sport and Community Development is pleased to announce the expansion of the National Incentives and Rewards Framework.
In 2018, the National Rewards and Incentives Framework was introduced to reward Athletes who achieved medals at the highest levels of international competition in various respective sporting disciplines. Athletes have benefited from this policy for medalling at the Olympics/Paralympics Games, World Cup, World Championships Event, Commonwealth Games, the Central American and Caribbean Games, and Special Olympic World Games.
On July 7, 2022 the Cabinet took the decision to expand the incentives framework to include the World Athletics Indoor Championships. Minister Cudjoe indicated that Jereem Richards will be the first Trinidad and Tobago athlete to receive an incentive in this new category in recognition of his gold medal performance, which set a new championship record in the Men’s 400m at the 2022 World Athletics Indoor Championships held in Belgrade, Serbia. To date, over $ 5.5 million has been distributed to one hundred (100) athletes by the Government of Trinidad and Tobago since the inception of the programme in 2018.
