Title
Capacity Building - Preparing Caribbean Public Sector Unions for an Economic Environment in Transition
Abstract
This paper seeks to examine the renewal of the Caribbean Public Sector trade unions (CPSU), and make a number of recommendations as it regards the capacity building and institutional strengthening of these unions. The paper begins with an introduction that lays the foundation for the discussion of capacity building for CPSU. It continues with a socio-historical background to the current difficulties facing the CPSU, and continues with an examination of a number of regional concerns for the CPSU. Based on the Regional concerns identified and the fact that CPSU need to step out of their traditional role of representation and, in addition, become concerned with national issues, the paper concludes with a number of recommendations for the way forward for the CPSU.

L’introduction expose les éléments de fonds qu’il s’agit d’avoir à l’esprit pour comprendre la capacité d’action des SSPC. S’en suivent une présentation des conditions socio-historiques qui expliquent leurs difficultés actuelles, puis un examen des questions régionales auxquelles ils font face. De là, et prenant parti que les SSPC doivent sortir de leur rôle traditionnel de représentation, y inclus une prise en compte des questions nationales, l’article conclut en identifiant des voies d’avenir.
