CARIFORUM-EU EPA WORKSHOPS

The CARIFORUM-EU EPA workshop was devised in 2017 in partnership with the EU and with contributions from the CARIFORUM Directorate. The workshop is designed to improve participants’ understanding of the rules and opportunities under the CARIFORUM-EU EPA, as well as to increase their capacity to trade. Between January 2017 to December 2020, the Agency conducted six EPA workshops benefitting at least two hundred and sixty-four (264) CARIFORUM participants. Table 5 provides information on the annual participants for these EPA workshops. The overall feedback on the workshops was positive. Results showed that the training contributed to increased knowledge, understanding and capacity of the participants.
