2019-2020 Annual Report and Statement of Accounts

Fourth Growth and Resilience Dialogue With Social Partners The Growth and Resilience Dialogue (GRD) is designed for a wide regional network of social partners to brainstorm and create a programme of activities and/or project(s) for addressing the constraints to growth, competitiveness and employment in the ECCU. The ECCB, the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) Commission and The World Bank jointly hosted the Fourth Growth and Resilience Dialogue with Social Partners from the ECCU on 13 February 2020 under the theme: Regional Transformation Through Innovation . The theme signalled the ECCU’s call to action to develop and adapt technologies that would foster stronger and sustainable growth and build resilience. The main output of the fourth GRD was the Caribbean Digital Transformation Project. The project will contribute to increased access to digital connectivity, digital public services and the creation of technology enabled businesses and jobs across the participating Eastern Caribbean countries. Additionally, the regional programme activities will be financed through a regional International Development Association (IDA) grant, and implemented by the regional Project Implementation Unit (PIU) housed at the ECCB. The regional PIU will work with other regional institutions, depending on the technical area being supported. Regionally implemented activities will focus on cross-cutting areas that support development of a digital economy, and outputs from these activities will benefit all participanting countries and the wider Eastern Caribbean region.
