INFORMATION AND COMMUNICATION TECHNOLOGY AS A STRATEGY FOR THE ECONOMIC DEVELOPMENT OF CARIBBEAN COUNTRIES : Prepared Text for Address by Dr.The Hon. Keith C. Mitchell, Prime Minister, Grenada at the Commencement Ceremony of the University of the West Indies, Cave Hill , 25 th October 2003 The Caribbean Region confronts the twin challenge of domestic reform and the specter of globalisation. Today, my friends, globalisation influences, if not shapes, virtually every facet of our inter-phase with the global markets. It is, therefore, timely for us, as Caribbean people, to rethink our development paths and prospects. We must begin this thought process with an explicit recognition that the world order as we have come to regard it, is not changing - it has changed. Changes in both the terms and nature of our international trading engagements with the international community have already rendered much of our commodity trade in products such as bananas, textiles and apparels non-competitive. In fact, the same fate seems likely to beset commodities such as rice, sugar and other diversified products in exports markets.Source:CARICOM |
