Background
The Origins of the Integration Process
Movement to a Single Economic Space
The establishment of the Caribbean Community and Common
Market (CARICOM) by the Treaty of Chaguaramas in 1973 was
the result of a 15-year effort to fulfill the Caribbean peoples
aspirations of regional integration which was born with the
establishment of the British West Indies Federation in 1958. The
West Indies Federation came to an end in 1962 but its end may
be regarded as the real beginning of what is now the Caribbean
Community. In 1989, Member States reaffirmed and broadened
the Communitys core objectives to include the creation of a
CARICOM Single Market and Economy (CSME), setting new
strides for the regional integration process, as one aspect of its
response to the challenges and opportunities presented by
the changes in the global economy. The Single Market was
established in 2006.

Results Achieved
Some of the main results achieved were:
1. With respect to the RSWP, a new structure, based on the
Database of International Statistical Activities (DISA) was
developed.
2. On the basis of this new structure, the RSWP was redesigned
and re-prioritized.
3. Strategies in implementing the redesigned RSWP were also
recommended in order of urgency.
4. Information about adherence to Good Practices in Statistics
has been collected through the questionnaire earlier
mentioned. By using a scoring system compliance of countries
with good practices were analyzed.
