AGP Executive Report

Last update: 5 hours ago

Anti-Corruption Tech & Policy: Jamaica’s Integrity Commission chief Craig Beresford urged Caribbean governments to align anti-corruption laws and enforcement, warning fragmented systems let sophisticated schemes slip through, while highlighting tech upgrades like big-data analytics and forensic tools. Youth & Learning: St George Secondary student Athena Browne won Barbados’ national letter-writing contest, tying human connection to the digital world. Climate Data for Decisions: Barbados-based CIMH head Dr David Farrell says weak data-sharing across the region is blocking climate research and decision-making, calling for urgent policy to unlock datasets. Green Economy Awareness: UNICEF-backed research finds Barbados youth lag peers in knowing green and circular economy opportunities, pointing to a communications gap rather than low interest. AI & Work Protections: Barbados Workers’ Union warns AI and platform employment are already reshaping jobs, urging stronger worker protections as “account deactivated” becomes a workplace reality. Blue-Green Research Push: Government launched a drive to put scientific research at the centre of policymaking, linking agencies like CZMU and Fisheries with UWI and international partners. Payments & Digital ID: Barbados is rolling out WhatsApp-based bill payments tied to BiMPay and digital ID, with an AI voice-note payment concept. Hurricane Readiness: Fisheries officials tested hurricane preparedness by relocating vessels, aiming to avoid repeat losses after Hurricane Beryl. Tourism Strategy: CTO unveiled a Tourism Supply Side Initiative to make tourism deliver more value locally, with Caribbean Week in New York pushing the agenda.
