The Organization of American States’ Unit for the Promotion of Democracy (OAS/UPD) is launching a sub-regional course for young democratic leaders in five Caribbean countries: Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, the Bahamas, Dominica, and Saint Kitts and Nevis. The initiative has the support of the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).
This is the first time the OAS will offer this type of course in the English-speaking Caribbean. In the last four years, the UPD has been involved in training hundreds of young political leaders in other countries and sub-regions of the hemisphere.
“The Caribbean region has a strong democratic tradition and I am certain we will have a dynamic group of young people interested in participating,” said Elizabeth Spehar, UPD Executive Coordinator, in announcing this initiative, part of the Training Program for Democratic Leaders (known by its Spanish acronym, CALIDEM). This will be the first of several courses to be carried out in the Caribbean during the next few years.
The CALIDEM program brings together a diverse group of civic and political leaders under 30 years of age, representing a broad spectrum of party affiliations. The program aims to deepen participants’ understanding of democratic institutions, values and practices, and develop effective political leadership.
The OAS/UPD has designed the course framework, contents and methodologies, but the training course will be implemented by outside training institutions based on a competitive bidding process. The OAS has called for bids from governmental and private institutions with experience in implementing training courses. Proposals must be submitted to the OAS/UPD by July 31, in order to conduct the course in the fourth quarter of 2002. Details of how to apply to participate in the program will be announced later in the year.
