OECS Trade Capacity Building Project |
In May 2008, the Inter American Development Bank approached the Trade Policy Unit to develop a proposal for a Regional Technical Cooperation project in the area of trade capacity building, with an initial budget of US$150.000. The Unit responded and the Bank prepared a proposal for a capacity building programme for Cdn$ 376,800 to be financed by the IDB-Canada Trust Fund. The Secretariat is required to make a counterpart contribution of Cdn$9,600.00.

CARICOM Trade and Competitiveness Project in the CARICOM Region (CTCP) |
|
The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) is pursuing an active programme of deepening integration in the Caribbean Region, particularly through the implementation of the CARICOM Single Market and Economy (CSME) which officially entered into force on 1 January 2006. The Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas establishing the Caribbean Community including the CARICOM Single Market and Economy created binding commitments with respect to the free movement of goods and services, free movement of persons, free movement of capital and the right of establishment.
To ensure the practical effectiveness of the CSME, specific development interventions are required. In this context, a Contribution Agreement was finalised in October 2007, between representatives of the Government of Canada and the Caribbean Community for the CARICOM Trade and Competitiveness Project (CTCP). Effective implementation of the Project started in May 2008 when the First Meeting of the Project Steering Committee (PSC) approved the Work Plan for 2008.
