A group of university students from Barbados is now in Jamaica gaining first hand experience on the practical operations of the CARICOM Single Market and Economy (CSME).

The visit is part of a project “Students Engaging the CSME through Field promotion”, being executed by the CARICOM Secretariat and funded under the European Union’s 10^th European Development Fund (EDF).
