Over the next five years, there will also be a renewed focus on resource mobilization, communication, and knowledge management, human capacity development and the adoption of information and communication technology. To best execute this Strategy, the Institute’s structure will be realigned to achieve improved operational efficiency, responsiveness and effectiveness. These are all complementary actions deliberately designed to assist CARDI in achieving our vision of ‘A resilient, innovative, and sustainable CARICOM agri-food system that adequately meets the food security and nutritional needs of Caribbean people.’
The Plan is rooted in a thorough analysis of the institute’s performance over the last strategic period (2018 – 2023) and compliant to the adopted CARICOM’s Results Based Management (RBM) framework. It also aligns with the Vision 25 x 2025, the OECS Fast Strategy, the CARICOM Strategic Plan and the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development among others. This Strategic Plan is dynamic and will be proactively adapted to meet the evolving and changing needs of stakeholders. I wish to thank everyone who contributed to the development of this Strategic Plan. Your valuable insights and feedback are appreciated. We at CARDI wish to extend an open invitation to you to work with us to transform and reposition Caribbean agriculture as an engine for economic growth and sustainable development.
