In addition to its routine review of the work of the institution, the Board of Directors will pay particular attention to progress in a range of areas. Foremost among them is the harmonization of administrative arrangements for the implementation of the CSME, the development of a regional strategy for e-Governance and the introduction of a regional public service awards scheme. The Award Scheme will be closely tied to a programme of celebration to mark CARICAD’s thirtieth anniversary.
The meeting will be preceded by the Meeting of the Management Sub-Committee which functions as an executive oversight committee of the Board. In addition to the Meetings of the Board of Directors, CARICAD will host a seminar on the theme “Regional Integration and Public Sector Modernization and Transformation”. Presentations will be made by Sir Kenneth Hall, former Governor General of Jamaica and former Pro Vice Chancellor of the Mona Campus of the University of the West Indies; Professor Winston Anderson, former General Counsel of the CARICOM Secretariat and Director of the Caribbean Law Institute Centre (CLIC); and Professor Ralph Carnegie, also of the CLIC.
Describing the institution’s performance over the last year, Executive Director Jennifer Asataphan, stressed that there was a strong emphasis on working with regional governments to improve their managerial performance and strengthen their systems of Public Administration and Governance. She also observed that despite the challenge of the global recession, CARICAD’s performance during the last year underscores the fact that the institution continues to improve on the quality of service it delivers to stakeholders.
