Project Description

The objective of the project is to assist government agencies, which are responsible for border control and cargo movement, to reduce the cost, time and documents required to trade goods. The project will promote dialogue and initiate reforms in the Eastern Caribbean region. The project will consist of the following activities:
1. Set up or reinforcement of public private dialogue mechanisms to prioritize and guide reforms, with input from all relevant stakeholders;
2. Institute regulatory and legislative reform, process mapping to eliminate administrative bottlenecks and use of Information communication and technology solutions to increase the efficiency and quality of services;
3. Support coordinated and risk management systems by technical border agencies. The project will start in Antigua and Barbuda, Dominica, Grenada, St. Kitts and Nevis, and St Lucia and if there is further demand, additional countries among Guyana, Jamaica, Suriname, or Trinidad and Tobago. This project will partner with institutions working on trade logistics in the Caribbean region.
