Cooperation in the fields of R&D and innovation

The networking of key players in this sector facilitates the technology transfer between the R&D sector and enterprises. This contributes to the economic diversification and integration of the region.

Cooperation to improve digital connectivity and the use of digital solutions in the Caribbean

Digital access in the Caribbean can be improved by developing the interoperability and interconnection of networks. The development of digital uses at the business strategy level or for purposes of modernisation and to improve access to public services offers a tremendous opportunity in the regional context. Developing cooperation in these areas can drive development and growth, facilitating exchanges between territories in the Caribbean.

Health cooperation

To make the Caribbean truly inclusive, the health system must be supported. Better cooperation with the countries and territories would help to improve their ability to respond to public health challenges. It would also improve access to healthcare and the efficiency of the health systems and long-term care beyond national borders. Finally, better cooperation in this field would promote exchanges between students on the patient care pathway within the cooperation area.

Mobility and regionalisation of education and training pathways

We can create a more inclusive Caribbean by promoting the mobility and regionalisation of education and training pathways. Support for the internationalisation of training programmes promotes the acquisition of linguistic and intercultural competences, among others. More generally, strengthening skills within the region can help drive employment and economic growth.

Cooperation to promote social inclusion and fight poverty

Working to improve social inclusion and fight poverty are key actions to achieve a more inclusive Caribbean. Better cooperation in these areas could improve the resilience of the social systems and their ability to respond to the existing poverty issues at the level of the territories of the cooperation area. This would for example encourage the development of internationalised and complementary initiatives or pave the way for better support to marginalised groups through concerted action between sectoral actors on either side of the border.

Cooperation to better protect the biodiversity and ecosystems of the Caribbean

A greener and more resilient Caribbean protects its biodiversity and ecosystems. Better cooperation between countries and territories of the Caribbean would strengthen environmental protection (e.g., marine protected areas, protected mangroves, national parks, etc.). It would also contribute to the enhancement of the environment, including the sustainable use of resources for economic purposes.

Cooperation to tackle risks from natural disasters and the effects of climate change

The Caribbean region is extremely vulnerable to natural disasters and the effects of climate change. Better cooperation between the countries and territories of the region would help build capacity in terms of climate change adaptation and contribute to ramping up the region’s prevention and response capacity.

Cooperation to encourage the use of renewable energy

The increased share of renewable energies in the energy mix promotes the development of energy autonomy in the territories. The Caribbean context requires the implementation of solutions that are adapted to the geographical context of the territories and to the naturally available resources. Establishing forms of cooperation in the field of renewable energies facilitate the emergence of adapted and relevant solutions that take the local constraints of each of the territories into account.

Cooperation to promote the transition to a circular economy and the recovery of all kinds of waste

The development of a circular economy represents a relevant solution for all the territories of the Caribbean, enabling them to save resources, reduce pollution, prevent the production of waste and collect and recover any waste that has been generated. Forms of cooperation must be set up in this field to promote the emergence of solutions that are adapted to the specific contexts of the territories of the cooperation area.

Cooperation to improve maritime, air and road connectivity in the Caribbean

The development of (air or maritime) transport networks is a condition for enabling territories to reduce the impact of air and maritime isolation that is an obstacle to their economic growth. The challenge of developing the maritime and air transport network promotes the integration of the territories and countries of the Caribbean zone in international trade, for tourism and the development of trade, but can also help to reduce carbon emissions.

Cooperation with a view to improving governance and the prospects for regional cooperation in the Caribbean

Better cooperation between the countries and territories in the region would allow for better governance of cooperation in the Caribbean. It would facilitate the identification of project coordinators and ideas that are worth supporting, networking among key stakeholders and the development of internationalised initiatives. Finally, better cooperation in terms of governance would help improve the mutual knowledge of stakeholders in the cooperation area as well as the prospects for obtaining additional funding from the ERDF for more structuring projects and the strategic management of the Interreg Programme.
