The Caribbean Council for Science and Technology (CCST) is pleased to present, for the consideration of the leaders of the Caribbean Community (CARICOM), this Regional Policy Framework for Science, Technology and Innovation (STI). It is now the only such document to be put forward by a regional body which attempts to specifically guide the region’s policy and decision-makers on building STI capacity to meet the pressing new demands of the knowledge-driven era.
The content of this document reflects the output of eighteen months of public consultations held in ten countries across the region, with the participation of the region’s top academic and technical advisors as well as stakeholders from all interest groups. The recommendations are in accord with regional, hemispheric and international agreements endorsed by CARICOM heads.
