track the results and the benefits which accrue. In that regard, the Committee is intended to provide a range of services which will complement the work of the Organs and of the Secretariat (the best practice example of the OECS Commissioners is noted); iv. Formalise the current Forum of the Secretary-General and Heads of Community Institutions to facilitate coordinated implementation of the Strategic Plan. This Forum will be convened by the Secretary-General and can be expanded to include the Committee of Ambassadors, and the Private Sector and Civil Society as needed, for consultation, strategic discussion and guidance on specific issues (committee of the whole). Further to the reform of operating procedures and governance structures, the following is proposed to strengthen decision making and implementation: v. Strengthening the executive role and function of the Community Council and Secretary-General as intended by the RTC. For the Community Council, the executive function will be strengthened as it relates to its role in monitoring the policy and decision-making process, as well as implementation of mandates, ensuring compliance to Treaty obligations and mandates among Member States and ensuring the efficiency of the Conference of Heads of Government. Similarly, the Secretary-General will need to act and take decisions regarding the approach to and optimal use of resources in pursuit of mandates. The development of the Strategic Plan for the Community provides the opportunity for a Community-wide approach to managing the regional integration process. However, a key consideration is the role of the Secretary-General, in the capacity of CEO of the Community, providing oversight to the work of the Community Institutions; (b) Support Implementation in Member States by harmonizing functions and responsibilities and building capacity of CARICOM Units in Member States (building on previous initiatives to develop a model for Regional Integration Implementation Units) as well as other ‘partner’ public sector ministries or institutions. These Units should be headed by the CARICOM Ambassador. Additional measures to support implementation in Member States include 39 | P a g e
