Guernsey · Government Work Plan 2026-2029 · by committee
Every workstream in the States' Government Work Plan, and how far each has got.
The Government Work Plan 2026-2029 (proposition P2025-143) sets out 48 workstreams across ten committees and authorities, 11 of them super priorities for the term. The States’ own first progress report is not due until mid-2027, so rather than invent a completion percentage this page tracks each workstream against a five-rung governance ladder — filled only where a dated event on the public record supports it. See a committee President’s own profile for how this same data reads against one deputy.

How this progress is measured
Each bar tracks a workstream along five governance milestones — In the Work Plan · Committee scoping · Policy before the States · Agreed by the States · In delivery — and a rung is filled only where a dated event on the public record supports it. The States’ own first progress report on the 2026-2029 Work Plan is not due until mid-2027, so these bars read from the parliamentary and committee record rather than an official completion figure. Most workstreams sit early on the ladder this far into the term.
What the coloured badge means
The Plan states each workstream’s delivery window as one of three things: the first half of this four-year term (16 July 2025 – 16 July 2027), the second half, or across the whole term. The badge compares today’s date against that window on a straight-line pace to “In delivery” by the window’s end, against the rung the workstream has actually reached: on track is at or ahead of that pace, behind and severely behind trail it by degree, and missed means the window has closed with the workstream still short of delivery. A straight-line pace is a simplification - real policy delivery is rarely even across a window - so treat this as a schedule check against the Plan’s own stated timing, not a verdict on the committee.
