The CARICOM Secretariat is pressing ahead with its public education programme regarding the CARICOM Single Market and Economy (CSME). It will be hosting a series of three (3) public sensitization sessions on the facilitation of travel within the CSME.
The first of these will be held in Dominica on Friday, September 9 and a wide cross-section of the public is expected to attend. These sessions are being facilitated by resource persons from the Secretariat and implemented with assistance provided under the 10th European Development Fund (EDF). The other two (2) sessions will be held later in Guyana and Jamaica.
The public sensitization exercise will cover the provisions for free movement and travel under the CSME regimes such as those for CARICOM Skilled Nationals and the Right of Establishment, for example.
The aim is to inform CARICOM citizens of their rights and responsibilities as they move within the CSME for reasons related to employment, leisure or business. Members of the public will also be apprised of the CARICOM Complaints Procedure if they feel that they were hindered from accessing their rights under any of the regimes. At the end of these sessions, participants should be better informed about the provisions for free movement and how to make use of them as CARICOM nationals.
The session will be held at the Goodwill Christian Union Church and officials from Dominica’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs and CARICOM Affairs and Trade will be in attendance.
This public awareness activity is part of a larger public education strategy to promote the CSME as an important platform for achieving the goal of regional integration and an improved quality of life for all citizens of the Caribbean Community.

There’s a very hot place somewhere down there where all the unsaved will go. That’s where these people should go.
After all the years of CSME talk, now is when public education is taking place? SMH.
Caricum is a wast of time with too much discrimination..if we all have the same passport it should not be a certain category of people with skills alone that should be allowed to work in a country of their choice. If this is the case, give me back my Dominican passport and keep you all caricum passport for the job privilege few..check the USA and European Union, all citizen have the right to travel and work freely. Be it you from New York ,Boston,Miami ect.or france Germany, uk. It’s not a chosen few..
