Tobago House of Assembly

The Tobago House of Assembly (THA) is the local government body responsible for governing Tobago, one of Trinidad and Tobago's two main islands. It handles regional issues like local development, infrastructure, education, and healthcare, working within the framework of national laws. The THA has elected representatives, including a Chief Secretary who leads the Assembly. It operates somewhat independently to address Tobago-specific needs, promoting regional growth and identity while remaining under the broader national government. The Assembly ensures residents have local governance regarding daily affairs that directly impact their community.
