| Sumario: | The Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), Subregional
Headquarters for the Caribbean convened an expert group meeting on Social Exclusion, Poverty,
Inequality – Crime and Violence: Towards a Research Agenda for informed Public Policy for
Caribbean SIDS on Friday 4 April 2008, at its conference room in Port of Spain.
The meeting was attended by 14 experts drawn from, the University of the West Indies
(UWI), St. Augustine, Trinidad and Tobago; and Mona Campus, Jamaica; the St. Georges
University, Grenada; the Trinidad and Tobago Crime Commission and the Ministry of Social
Development, Government of Trinidad and Tobago and representative of Civil Society from
Guyana. Experts from the United Nations System included representatives from the United
Nations Fund for Women (UNIFEM), Barbados; the United Nations Development Programme
(UNDP), Port of Spain and UNDP Barbados/SRO and the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean
States (OECS). The list of participants appears as an annex to this report.
The purpose of the meeting was to provide a forum in which differing theories and
methodologies useful to addressing the issues of social exclusion, poverty, inequality, crime and
violence could be explored. It was expected that at the end of the meeting there would be
consensus on areas of research which could be pursued over a two to four-year period by the
ECLAC Subregional Headquarters for the Caribbean and its partners, which would lead to
informed public policy in support of the reduction of the growing violence in Caribbean society. |
