  • Basel Convention Regional Centre for Training and Technology Transfer for the Caribbean Region
    Basel Convention Regional Centre for Training and Technology Transfer for the Caribbean Region BUSINESS PLAN 2016-2019 (Rev. Jun ‘17) 1 2 Executive Summary The Basel Convention Regional Centre for Training and Technology Transfer for the Caribbean Region (BCRC-Caribbean) is an autonomous corporate body hosted by the Government of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago (GORTT) through the Ministry of Planning and Development (MoPD). The BCRC-Caribbean was created to serve the varied needs of the Caribbean Sub-region as they relate to the understanding and implementation of environmentally sound management strategies for wastes and chemicals in accordance with the provisions of the conventions developed under various multilateral environmental agreements. The centre does this by providing: a) Appropriate training, b) Identifying and assessing environmentally sound mechanisms for waste management and then ensuring the transfer of this technology to member countries as required, c) Providing technical support to member countries in the form of consultancy services and d) Ensuring that pertinent information and awareness on the issues related to current trends in waste management are disseminated to member countries. The BCRC-Caribbean is expected to communicate its programmes of work by developing business plans that identify priority projects implementable at a regional level. In this regard, the BCRC-Caribbean has developed its Business Plan for the period 2016/2019, in consultation with key stakeholders in the Caribbean, to prioritize and subsequently address issues of major concern in the Caribbean. The BCRC-Caribbean’s Business Plan for 2016/2019, continues on from its 2014/2015 Business Plan but places a heavy emphasis on work to be done in the execution of a regional five-year project entitled “Development and Implementation of a Sustainable Management Mechanism for Persistent Organic Pollutant in the Caribbean”.
