The Montserrat Government UK Office was delighted to host the launch of the African Policy and Research Consortium's Caribbean Hub for Montserrat, opening a new chapter of cooperation between Africa, the Caribbean and the United Kingdom.
The Hub was launched in London on 15 July under the Africa–Caribbean–United Kingdom Partnership, and will bring together governments, universities, researchers, entrepreneurs and investors to advance policy dialogue, leadership development and strategic investment across the three regions.
Professor Stephen Sinikiem Azaiki, Executive Coordinator of APRC, described Montserrat as a symbol of resilience and renewal, and an ideal home for the Caribbean Hub.
The launch also confirmed the Consortium's regional leadership. Dr Rudi Page was appointed Regional Leader of the APRC Caribbean Hub, Dr Gertrude Shotte as Adviser for Education Transformation, and Celia Davidson as Caribbean Ambassador for Sustainability Mainstreaming and UWI Partnerships.
