The Caribbean Community (CARICOM) was founded on 4th July 1973, and is the oldest surviving integration movement in the developing world, which promotes and supports a unified Caribbean Community.
CARICOM, which is home to approximately sixteen (16) million citizens, comprises fifteen (15) full Member States: Antigua and Barbuda, Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, Montserrat, Saint Lucia, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago; and five (5) Associate Members: Anguilla, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands and Turks and Caicos Islands.
CARICOM’s mandate is to create a Caribbean Community that is integrated, inclusive and resilient; driven by knowledge, excellence, innovation, and productivity; a community where every citizen is secure and can realize his or her potential with guaranteed human rights and social justice; and contributes to, and shares in, its economic, social and cultural prosperity; a community which is a unified and competitive force in the global arena.
All members have an equal say regardless of size or economic status. This ensures that every member has a voice in shaping CARICOM.
