Haiti - CARICOM

Haiti is a member of CARICOM, The Caribbean Community, an organisation of 15 Caribbean nations and dependencies.

CARICOM's main purposes are to promote economic integration and cooperation among its members, to ensure that the benefits of integration are equitably shared, and to coordinate foreign policy.

CARICOM's major activities involve coordinating economic policies and development planning; devising and instituting special projects for the less-developed countries within its jurisdiction; operating as a regional single market for many of its members (Caricom Single Market); and handling regional trade disputes.

The secretariat headquarters of CARICOM is based in Georgetown, Guyana.
