With investment-starved countries in the Caribbean and Africa keen to turn the tide and attract a more generous level of foreign investment into the region, the United Nations Industrial Development Organization (UNIDO) is seeking to shoulder at least some of the responsibility associated with attracting meaningful investment opportunities into those countries.
Caught in the grip of a multiplicity of challenges that include food security, energy, and financial market performance, are the seventy nine (79) member states of the Organization of African, Caribbean, and Pacific States, (OACPS) many of which are currently confronted by major challenges that include food security, energy, and financial market crises. Meanwhile, Caribbean member countries’ efforts at alleviating the challenges include an intra-regional initiative designed specifically to seek to roll back food insecurity, and to promote intra-regional investment.
