Training was conducted under the auspices of the CTCP under Component 100 and 300 (Information Flows).

Component 100 focuses on the standardization and harmonization of the Single Market administrative practices and Procedures while Information Flows is concerned with the strengthening of existing channels of Information Flows on the CSME.

Around 200 persons within the CARICOM region were trained to appropriately and accurately represent CARICOM and its goals and achievements in their day-to-day areas of concern.  The training focused on the following Territories:

  • Jamaica
  • Dominica

BASSETERRE, St. Kitts – THE gaps that exist between media practitioners and their audiences concerning education on the CARICOM Single Market and Economy (CSME), as well as the need for clarity on the subject matter, are two of the driving forces behind a two-day workshop being held at the St. Kitts Marriott.

 

The workshop is being held under the auspices of the CARICOM Secretariat CSME Unit as part of its CARICOM Trade and Competitiveness Project, which seeks to ensure that better and more opportunities are provided for the people of CARICOM and also benefitting from the CSME.
 
The interactive sessions brought the participating media personnel up to speed on developments within the CSME framework, stimulated thought on the way CSME-related issues are being reported or why they are not being reported and even encouraged introspection relative to personal branding.
 
Communications Specialist at the CARICOM Secretariat CSME Unit, Salas Hamilton explained to this publication that one of the legs of the CTCP is ensuring that stakeholders could participate in and understand the CSME, which is why media practitioners are among those being focused on during this exercise.
