Documents and Publications

The CARICOM Secretariat’s Education Programme ensures inclusive, equitable, quality education and promotes lifelong learning opportunities for the Region. As part of this responsibility, the Programme has developed a Human Resource Development 2030 Strategy, which is currently being implemented.

COVID-19 has presented extraordinary circumstances that have required CANTA to review aspects of the delivery of CVQs and make adjustments to the CANTA Quality Assurance Criteria Guidelines (2015); in particular, to assessment procedures and the collection of evidence. As the health and safety of candidates is of paramount importance, the use of electronic and digital technologies throughout the assessment process is encouraged.

The PANCAP Social Contracting Toolkit is a reference document designed to be used by Governments and Civil Society Organisations (CSOs) in CARICOM member countries in the roll out of social contracting mechanisms as a sustainable approach to service delivery for HIV services. 

Examples of existing partnerships between governments and CSOs or the private sector are referenced as part of understanding the national landscape of financing options at the country level.

COVID-19 has turned the world upside down. Everything has been impacted. How we live and interact with each other, how we work and communicate, how we move around and travel. Every aspect of our lives has been affected.

IMPLEMENTATION PLAN

The timeframes in the plan are as follows:

This first publication on Climate Change Statistics for CARICOM countries contains data up to 2019 in some instances, while for other series it comprises data up to 2012/13.  It aims at providing statistics on climate change for the region and follows the Framework for the Development of Environment Statistics (FDES 2013) of the United Nations Statistics Division (UNSD) and its refinements based on the Inter-governmental Panel on Climate Change (IPCC) schematic framework.

The Baseline Report (BR) is intended to be used as a guide for policy dialogue on the development of regional targets for the CARICOM Human Resource Development 2030 Strategy (C-HRD 2030 S), as well as the actions that are required to achieve them. The report provides a snapshot of the region’s readiness to report on Key Performance Indicators (KPIs) for Phase One of the Regional Action Plan (RAP) for implementation 2017-2021.

This document aims to provide a road map for adolescent health and well-being with recommendations and implementation considerations for policymakers and planners in Member States to develop adolescent-centred, evidence-based strategies for addressing adolescent health. It also includes a youth-led advocacy component to facilitate adolescents’ involvement in decision-making, planning, designing, monitoring and evaluation of programs and interventions.

The document is divided into the following chapters:

The report issues 14 recommendations to reform, redesign and revitalize the global architecture, so it can effectively foster financial integrity for sustainable development.

It finds that strengthening coordination and global governance related to financial integrity is an essential component of the common agenda for the common future of present and coming generations.

Accountability, legitimacy, transparency, and fairness must form the foundation of the global financial system.
