Now, all of us can appreciate the tremendous challenge that would pose to any government if you can only amass 20 per cent of your total revenue to do what you have to do.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cSo we are hoping that the international community can recognise the importance of channelling the resources through the Government of Haiti to respond to the needs of its people,\u201d Skerrit added.<\/p>\n<p>Guyana\u2019s President, Bharrat Jagdeo, who also spoke at the closing press conference, stressed the importance of doing more than paying lip-service to the Haitian people, who have endured the worst natural disaster on record in this part of the world.<\/p>\n<p>He said as early as next week, his country would be in a position to provide financial assistance to Haiti to assist with budgetary spending.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is very important that we do this,\u201d Jagdeo told reporters.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cWe can\u2019t urge the multilateral financial institutions and bilateral donors to respect the sovereignty of Haiti and to respect the government that\u2019s the leading force and then we ourselves try to spend money outside of the government and exacerbate the problem that they have with coordination. So we are saying, by our own example, that we trust that the government will spend the money well,\u201d the Guyanese leader said.<\/p>\n<p>The CARICOM heads of government also announced that they agreed on the need to beef up the resources of the Barbados-based Caribbean Development Bank (CDB).<\/p>\n<p>Skerrit said this was a necessary decision to take since \u201cat present the CDB is receiving requests way beyond the resources it has\u201d and that by increasing the capital levels of funding to the CDB, it would be in a better position to help member states confront social and economic challenges.<\/p>\n<p>Many countries of the region have been experiencing prolonged dry spells in recent months &#8211; a situation that did not escape the attention of Caribbean leaders, even though they could not be realistically expected to provide a quick fix to the frustrations of drought being experienced by the people of the region.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt is something that the Caribbean Community is taking very seriously and we are hoping to advance and work together to see how we can work together as a community to see how we can ensure that in the future if we are visited by a drought then there would be systems in place to help countries in need,\u201d Skerrit told journalists.<\/p>\n<p>He said two of the Community\u2019s organs &#8211; the Council for Human and Social Development (COSHOD) and the Council for Trade and Economic Development (COTED) &#8211; would be mandated to meet in the coming months to devise a wide range of short-, medium, and long-term measures for sustainable water management for the consideration of government leaders when they meet for their July summit in Jamaica.<\/p>\n<p>Jamaica accepted to take over the rotating chairmanship at that time because of the dire situation in Haiti, which was originally due to assume the post and host the next meeting.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cIt would be difficult for me to manage Haiti while taking care of CARICOM. It was an honour for me but really I think you understand if I am doing a job I do it well,\u201d Haiti\u2019s President, Rene Preval told journalists at a separate press conference.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cYou understand we lost 300,000 people and we have one million people sleeping out on the streets everyday. Already, just to be in this meeting took a lot of effort for me to be here. I was an honour for me to play that role in CARICOM but unfortunately I can\u2019t,\u201d he said.<\/p>\n<p>CARICOM leaders also agreed to begin introducing CARIPASS, a regional travel document designed to facilitate easier inter-regional travel, by the start of July.<\/p>\n<p>Discussions also focused on crime and security, agriculture, food safety, border issues and climate change.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"ROSEAU, Dominica, CMC &#8211; Caribbean Community (CARICOM) leaders ended their two-day summit here late Friday having agreed on steps to tackle socio-economic issues confronting their citizens and calling on the international community to show more respect for the Haitian government&#8230;","protected":false},"author":15,"featured_media":6048,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"_acf_changed":false,"_cbd_carousel_blocks":"[]","footnotes":""},"categories":[14],"tags":[],"class_list":["post-6049","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-regional"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v27.7 -
