This Handbook provides information on election observation in general, background to and Terms of Reference (TOR) for CARICOM Election Observation and an aggregation of internationally accepted techniques in election observation that have been developed over the past decade. Its purpose is to provide an easy source of reference for CARICOM Election Observers, both new and experienced and should be used to complement country specific materials that are usually prepared and distributed by the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) Secretariat prior to the mounting of a Mission.

The aim of the report is to outline a framework for the reformulation and reinvention of the CARIFESTA festival. The report is divided into two main sections: a strategic review and analysis and the articulation of the strategic plan. The report has focused on analyzing the history, context and prognosis of the CARIFESTA festival. The strategic analysis suggests that the festival is uncompetitive in the regional and international context and no longer fulfilling its mandate and consequently is ripe for change.
