In recent months there has been much discussion in the regional media about the issue of devising new institutional arrangements for the management of Caricom’s business. This has particularly related to the establishment of machinery to ensure more effective and timely implementation of decisions taken by heads of government and the various ministerial councils of the community.
It is in that connection that questions have been raised about the fate of a report on the governance of Caricom prepared by a technical working group appointed by the heads of government some years ago, since no definitive decisions appeared to have been taken by the heads that would indicate a reorganization of the community’s organs and its secretariat. But no significant announcements seems to have emerged from the Caricom Secretariat in recent times, to indicate that real progress was being made.
