  • Bahamas on Behalf of the Caribbean Community (Caricom)
    The I Bahama 12th Session of the Commission on Sustainable Development High Level Segment Preparations for the International Meeting in Mauritius (SIDS) STATEMENT BY SENATOR, THE HONOURABLE MARCUS BETHEL, MINISTER OF HEALTH COMMONWEALTH OF THE BAHAMAS ON BEHALF OF THE CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY (CARICOM) NEW YORK, 30 APRIL, 2004 Please check against delivery I As a global community our window of opportunity to adequately address the sustainable development needs of our people in the areas of water, sanitation and human settlements, indeed in all areas of sustainable development, is short. Now is the time for us to act and we must act boldly. Mr. Chairman In your opening statement on April 19 th you stated that "the broad picture is not very reassuring, and the international community is not on track when it comes to meeting the globally agreed targets." You stressed the need to overcome hindrances and create soldtions. The statements made over the course of the last two weeks by participants from governments; the NGO community, Youth, experts and the private sector all support your conclusion. Assessing the reports of the proceedings so far, it is a struggle not to be overwhelmed by what appears to be a daunting challenge. Such a condition however is unacceptable if we are to secure for our people their right to a sustainable future. Our responsibility, no matter how overwhelming, will overcome those hindrances and create equitable and meaningful solutions. In the Caribbean, we have spent the last two years assessing our progress in the implementation of the sustainable development goals we elaborated and agreed to in the Barbados Programme of Action.

  • The Dynamic Gravity Dataset: Technical Documentation Update
    The Dynamic Gravity Dataset: Technical Documentation Update Note Version 2.00 Abstract This document provides an update to the technical documentation for the Dynamic Gravity dataset, describing changes from Version 1.00 to Version 2.00. For full descrip- tion of the contents and construction of the dataset, see full technical documentation for Version 1.00 on the dataset page at https://www.usitc.gov/data/gravity/dgd.htm. This documentation is the result of ongoing professional research of USITC Staff and is solely meant to represent the opinions and professional research of individual authors. It is not meant to represent in any way the views of the U.S. International Trade Commission or any of its individual Commissioners. It is circulated to promote the active exchange of ideas between USITC Staff and recognized experts outside the USITC, professional development of Office Staff and increase data transparency by encouraging outside professional critique of staff research. Please address all correspondence to [email protected]. 1 1 Introduction The Dynamic Gravity dataset contains a collection of variables describing aspects of countries and territories as well as the ways in which they relate to one-another. Each record in the dataset is defined by a pair of countries or territories and a year. The records themselves are composed of three basic types of variables: identifiers, unilateral character- istics, and bilateral characteristics. The updated dataset spans the years 1948{2019 and reflects the dynamic nature of the globe by following the ways in which countries have changed during that period. The resulting dataset covers 285 countries and territories, some of which exist in the dataset for only a subset of covered years.1 1.1 Contents of the Documentation The updated note begins with a description of main changes to the dataset from Version 1.00 to Version 2.00 in section 1.2 and a table of variables available in Version 1.00 and Version 2.00 of the dataset in section 1.3.

  • Latin America and the Caribbean
    LATIN AMERICA AND THE CARIBBEAN The EU’s relations with Latin America and the Caribbean are multifaceted and conducted at different levels. The EU interacts with the entire region through summits of the heads of state and government, while agreements and political dialogue bind the EU and the Caribbean, Central America, the Andean Community, Mercosur and individual countries. LEGAL BASIS — Title V (EU external action) of the Treaty on European Union; — Titles I-III and V (common commercial policy; development cooperation and humanitarian aid; international agreements) of the Treaty on the Functioning of the European Union. REGION-TO-REGION RELATIONS A. The summits The first summit between the EU, Latin America and the Caribbean was held in Rio de Janeiro in June 1999 and established a Bi-regional Strategic Partnership. The most recent biennial summit, held in June 2015 in Brussels, was the second between the EU and the Community of Latin American and Caribbean States (Comunidad de Estados Latinoamericanos y Caribeños, CELAC). The summits strengthen links between the two regions at the highest level and address issues on the bi-regional and international agendas. Debates have focused on topics such as democracy and human rights; fighting poverty; promoting social cohesion, innovation and technology; and the environment and climate change. The Brussels summit adopted a short political declaration, a longer declaration on the different aspects of the partnership and an EU- CELAC action plan, based on the priorities established by the recent

  • Member States of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Have Been Given Access to the Africa Medical Supplies Platform (AMSP), a Proc
    STATEMENT BY THE CHAIRMAN OF THE CARIBBEAN COMMUNITY (CARICOM) THE HONOURABLE MIA AMOR MOTTLEY, PRIME MINISTER OF BARBADOS ON ACCESS BY CARICOM TO THE AFRICA MEDICAL SUPPLIES PLATFORM Member States of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) have been given access to the Africa Medical Supplies Platform (AMSP), a procurement system for supplies and equipment in the fight against COVID-19. The AMSP unlocks immediate access to an African and global base of vetted manufacturers and procurement strategic partners. It enables African Union Member States to purchase certified medical equipment, such as diagnostic kits, personal protection equipment (PPE) and clinical management devices, with increased cost effectiveness and transparency. Chair of CARICOM, the Honourable Mia Mottley, welcomed the development and thanked the Chair of the African Union (AU), His Excellency Cyril Ramaphosa, President of South Africa, His Excellency Uhuru Kenyatta, President of Kenya and Dr. Tedros Ghebreyesus, Director General of the World Health Organization (WHO) for their assistance in making it possible. “The COVID-19 crisis has produced, among other things, a glaring example of the disparity among developed and developing states regarding the access to critical supplies necessary to successfully combat the spread of the COVID,” the Prime Minister said. “We have seen supplies being withheld from transhipment, and our relatively small populations put us at a disadvantage for successful optimal procurement of needed supplies. We, therefore, welcome this opportunity which has become available through inter-regional discussion. This underlines the strength of the relationship between Africa and CARICOM,” Prime Minister Mottley added. The outgoing CARICOM Chairman went on to say “Coincidentally, last week we were to have been holding the inaugural OAU- CARICOM Summit in Nairobi to discuss such partnerships but this had to be postponed because of the COVID-19 pandemic, and here we are today with a tangible outcome of the partnership between Africa and the Caribbean”.

  • M. Erisman Evolving Cuban-CARICOM Relations : a Comparative Cost/Benefit Analysis Survey of the Basic Developmental Dynamics
    M. Erisman Evolving Cuban-CARICOM relations : a comparative cost/benefit analysis Survey of the basic developmental dynamics involved in the evolving Cuban-CARICOM relationship. On the basis of a cost-risk/benefit analysis, the author provides some projections regarding the future of this relationship. He concludes that there appear sufficient potential benefits for both sides to deepen the relationship. Cuban-CARICOM integration, however, has no top priority for either partner.

The acronym CARICOM refers to the Caribbean Community and Common Market, a regional organization formed in 1973 to promote economie integration, cooperation in various functional areas (e.g., health, education, Communications, transportation), and foreign policy coordination. CARICOM is a direct descendant of the West Indies Federation and CARIFTA (the Caribbean Free Trade Association). The Federation, an unsuccessful attempt at pre-independence political unification, operated from 1958 to 1962. In 1968 its ten former participants, along with Guyana, founded CARIFTA, which in 1973 was transformed into what is today known as CARICOM.1 Historically, despite their close geographic proximity, Cuba and the CARICOM countries have for the most part displayed little inclination to establish truly close, cooperative ties.

  • The Caribbean Epidemiological Network: the Complexities of Developing a Regional Perspective
    The Caribbean epidemiological network: the complexities of developing a regional perspective K.-G. DOUGLAS Project Director, Drug Abuse Project, Caribbean Epidemiology Centre, Trinidad and Tobago J. HILLEBRAND Epidemiology Adviser, United Nations Office on Drugs and Crime, Vienna ABSTRACT The present article describes the geographical, political and cultural difficulties involved in developing a regional drug abuse epidemiological network in the Caribbean. Earlier initiatives such as the Caribbean Community Epidemiology Task Force failed owing to a lack of resources. It was not until 1996 that a major success was achieved, when the Plan of Action for Drug Control Coordination and Cooperation in the Caribbean laid the groundwork for the establishment of a comprehensive and sus- tainable effort to control substance abuse in the region through drug demand reduc- tion. In 1997, the Santo Domingo Declaration against Drugs reinforced the recom- mendation of the Barbados Plan of Action and called for the timely implementation of an epidemiological system for substance abuse. Subsequently, member States of the Caribbean Community allocated resources to the Drug Abuse Epidemiological and Surveillance System Project, which is being implemented by the Caribbean Epidemiology Centre. Within the framework of the project, the Caribbean Drug Information Network was launched in 2001; this concentrates on institution-building, training and the development of practical expertise in survey research. In order for the Network to continue its work, it will need further political support, adequate funding and the ability to link its activities to other aspects of demand reduction. Keywords: Caribbean; drug abuse; demand reduction; epidemiology network; regional initiative. Introduction Features of the sector The Caribbean region has a total land area of 700,000 sq km and comprises a number of islands, including those in the Caribbean Sea, along with the Guianas (Guyana, French Guiana and Suriname).
