CARICOM is an internationally recognized grouping of Caribbean island states for the purpose of (among other things) accelerated, coordinated and sustained economic development and convergence; and enhanced functional co-operation including intensified activities in health and education. As an associate institute of CARICOM, UWI has important functional relationships which contribute to the achievement of the objectives of the Community. UWI is therefore supported by Caribbean governments and is recognized as the institution with the mandate for providing the region with the skills needed for national and regional development. The institution is intimately involved in high level decisions regarding human resources and has the trust of the Caribbean governments. As an associate member of CARICOM, UWI attends PAHO’s annual meeting of the CARICOM Council on Human and Social Development (COHSOD) held in Washington DC and presents Ministers of Health with an annual update on the work of CHLI. UWI is also a member of the Pan Caribbean Partnership Against HIV and AIDS (PANCAP) and has a major role in the development and implementation of the Caribbean Regional Strategic Framework (CRSF) for HIV and AIDS. |
