Canada-CARICOM Expert Deployment Mechanism

About this project

This project aims to address priority needs identified by national government entities by providing Canadian technical assistance to Caribbean Community (CARICOM) member states over a period of four years. The ultimate goal is to support Caribbean countries in their efforts to diversify and strengthen local economies, build strong and climate resilient communities, and reduce gender and economic inequalities. As such, the Canada-CARICOM Expert Deployment Mechanism builds the capacity of local government organizations in the area of good governance. Project activities include: (1) enhancing effectiveness, transparency and accountability; (2) strengthening equitability and sustainability in policies; (3) enhancing the digitalization of government services and goods; and (4) improving the management of financial and human resources. The coronavirus (COVID-19) has had a devastating impact on Caribbean economies, many of which are highly dependent on tourism. This has heightened the need to diversify economies and improve government effectiveness in addressing socioeconomic inequalities and alleviating poverty.
