AGP Executive Report

Last update: 7 hours ago

Reparations Push: The CARICOM Reparations Commission is in the UK for a four-day push for reparatory justice, meeting clergy and parliamentarians and calling for decolonisation—while also challenging a recent claim that former colonies should repay Britain. Regional Identity & Travel Tech: Caribbean countries are aligning digital identity and biometric efforts to support smoother governance, travel, tourism, and security, including national ID upgrades in places like Curaçao and the Cayman Islands. Barbados Crime & Community Response: A 21-year-old, Cammeron Ifill, was shot dead in Christ Church, and his uncle publicly urged Prime Minister Mia Mottley to make lowering gun violence a top priority. Literacy for Growth: Finance Minister Ryan Straughn says reading is a key economic driver, highlighting the Babbs Reading Clinic at Barbados Community College. Skills & Youth Development: UWI Global Campus marked a decade of its PTFTC-TCL programme, celebrating 149 graduates from a six-month employability and life-skills course. Music & Culture: Sanctuary Vibez is pivoting from soca to a more “world artiste” sound, while LR (Lone Realness) is releasing a positive, non-violent EP for the Sweetest Summer Festival. Tourism Spotlight: Barbados topped a Caribbean “Ultimate Winter Escape” list, and Caribbean Airlines rolled out discounted Barbados–Guyana fares for September. Business & Work Culture: Signature Aviation earned Great Place To Work® certification for a third straight year, including its Barbados team. Reading Culture Event: A Mega Book Launch and Showcase is set for 22 November to reconnect Barbadians with reading and spotlight local authors.
