Published purpose
The purpose of this project is to help the Caribbean region participate in global trade liberalization in a way that benefits its people. The project has two components: support for the CARICOM Single Market and Economy (CSME) and assistance to the Caribbean Regional Negotiating Machinery (CRNM). 1) CSME: In 2006, the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) set up a single market space across its member states, making it possible for Caribbean citizens to move freely within the region or set up a business in any state in the region. This project helps to make the CARICOM single market a reality by putting in place the national processes and procedures necessary for it to function properly. This includes initiating the process of re-engaging Haiti in the CSME. 2) CRNM: The CRNM represents the CARICOM states in international trade negotiations. This project helps the CRNM formulate negotiating positions and undertake trade negotiations.
