Strategy or Strategic Plans

 The Caribbean Community Action Plan for Social Development and Crime Prevention 2009-2013 (CSDP) Action Plan’s main objective is to prevent and reduce levels of violence and crime in Member States. It underscores the need for the integration of crime prevention considerations into all relevant social and economic policies and programmes, including those addressing employment, education, health, housing and urban planning, poverty, social  marginalisation and exclusion with particular emphasis placed on communities, families, children and youth at risk.

The CARICOM Youth Development Action Plan (CYDAP) aims to promote, through a regional partnership agenda, an enabling environment for adolescent and youth wellbeing, empowerment and participation in national and regional development.

A strategy for strengthening Health and Family Life Education in CARICOM Member States

It is recognised that trade expansion has an important contribution to make towards achieving that goal.
