CARICOM SG and Institutions discuss the impacts of declining international development assistance
Dr. Carla Barnett, CARICOM Secretary-General
Executive Directors and other senior officials of Caribbean Community Institutions have updated Secretary-General Dr. Carla Barnett about the adverse effect of the current geopolitical developments on their ability to deliver essential services to the Region.
The developments were highlighted during a virtual meeting which the Secretary-General convened with Executive Directors and other senior officials of Community Institutions on Tuesday, 29 April.
The Meeting, attended by more than 50 participants, explored matters including the way forward against the background of declining international development assistance.
Representatives shared on the implications of funding cuts and the imposition of tariffs on weather forecasting, disaster management, health, and education, information-sharing, research, networking and procurement.
Shortly after the 48th Regular Meeting of the Conference of Heads of Government in February, the Secretary-General held discussions with regional institutions whose mandates include weather forecasting and climate resilience, disaster management and health.
The Secretary-General will formally engage the heads of Institutions again in September.
