DELEGATES HANDBOOK

MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN OF THE BOARD OF GOVERNORS

2016 marked another challenging year for many of the Caribbean economies. This past year was filled with events that catapulted us in the direction of “Change”. This change has helped us in the Caribbean region to rethink how we conduct our country’s affairs, trade, manage or foster our growth and market our countries to the world.

Socrates stated “the secret of change is to focus all your energy not on fighting the old, but on building the new”.

It is in this vein, with a sense of rejuvenation and hope that I extend a warm welcome and express pleasure in acceding to the Chairmanship of the Caribbean Development Bank’s Board of Governors 2017 Annual Meeting, being held in the Tourism Capital of the Turks and Caicos Islands, Providenciales.

With this year’s theme for the Annual Meeting being “Integration, Trade and Growth”, I eagerly anticipate participating in the fruitful dialogue among my regional colleagues.

The Caribbean Development Bank has been beneficial to our region and especially the Turks and Caicos Islands. The Bank has been instrumental in assisting with the development of many member countries’ development agenda. Over the next few days I trust that, through these meetings, seminars and the caucus of Governors, you will leave revitalized.

I wish to extend heartiest greetings and welcome to all of our visitors. Please take an opportunity, during your stay, to enjoy the Turks and Caicos Islands warm hospitality and exotic scenery.

Hon. Sharlene Cartwright Robinson Premier and Minister of Finance, Trade and Investment Turks and Caicos Islands

MESSAGE FROM THE PRESIDENT

OF THE CARIBBEAN DEVELOPMENT BANK

Welcome to the Forty-Seventh (2017) Annual Meeting of the Board of Governors of the Caribbean Development Bank.

This year’s Meeting will embrace the theme of integration, trade and economic growth. It is a theme that is built on a platform of transforming the Caribbean economies to meet the challenges of the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda.

The global community is already marking the first anniversary of the launch of the 2030 Sustainable Development Agenda. It is a stark reminder about the passage of time; and the critical importance of Caribbean countries moving resolutely to meet their commitments under the Agenda. Caribbean policy-makers remain concerned about growth rates that are still too low and prospects that are still too uncertain.

The Annual Meeting’s theme will acknowledge the centrality of growth and growth–related considerations in discussions about the future of the Caribbean and the imperatives for long-term development. Given the small size of Caribbean economies, this calls for a reexamination of the economic and other arguments for co-operation between Caribbean Community (CARICOM) member states. This is important to ensure that the Members exploit their synergies and maximise the benefits of the regional agreement, while moving closer to the goal of inclusive growth and shared prosperity.

We extend our appreciation to the Government and People of the Turks and Caicos Islands for hosting this year’s Meeting.

Wm. Warren Smith, PhD, CD President

CTCS WORKSHOP Venue: The Sands at Grace Bay Facilitators: Mr. Kenneth Harvey, CDB Consultant

Mr. Jock Springer, CDB Consultant This year marks the 35th anniversary of CDB’s Caribbean Technological Consultancy Services (CTCS) Network. CTCS contributes to strengthening private sector capabilities by linking people who have business and technical experience with businesses that need consulting advice and assistance.

CTCS will be conducting a workshop on the “Computerised Job Estimation Tool” (CJET) at The Sands at Grace Bay, during the period May 22-26, 2017. The workshop will be held in collaboration with the Ministry of Infrastructure, Housing and Planning of the Turks and Caicos Islands Government.

CTCS’ experience in working with artisans and small contractors has consistently shown that one area of greatest weakness is the inability of the artisans and small contractors to accurately and reliably prepare job estimates to ensure that they can both manipulate and present their bids, especially the bill of quantities, in a manner to ensure competitive advantage. Consequently, small contractors tend to be at the mercy of larger and more structured business entities with the capability to employ or hire the services of consultant engineers, quantity cost surveyors and accountants.

In an effort to give artisans and small contractors a greater competitive advantage, CDB through its CTCS programme, has developed CJET for artisans and small contractors.

CJET is a simple but effective computerised tool which allows the small contractor to always know her/his finite cost, as she/he progresses through preparation of each line item in the bill of quantities. The tool allows the contractor to be in a position to determine and manipulate the quality of his bid, see the impact of a given bid ratio/rate on the overall line cost and anticipate the projected earnings in excess of each line cost.

This capability, therefore, allows the contractor to intentionally bid high or low on a given line item, while maintaining the option to spread any projected line losses over other items.

14

The workshop will target: a. Artisans and small contractors who are self-employed and have been in business for no less than five (5) years. b. Small contractors who have undertaken privately contracted projects valued between USD50,000 and USD250,000. c. Artisans who have executed sub-contracts in their specific area(s) of specialty between USD30,000 and USD80,000. d. Artisans and contractors who have successfully executed projects above USD80,000 on any project financed by Turks and Caicos Islands (TCI) Government in collaboration with any regional and/or extra-regional agency. e. Students of TCI Community College (TCICC) who are in their senior year in any technical field offered by TCICC.

Caicos Conch Farm The Caicos Conch Farm was started in 1984 by Chuck Hesse, a retired U.S. Naval Officer and marine biologist. He pioneered methods to raise conch commercially, which helped relieve pressure on the wild stocks. The Farm raises Queen Conch (strombus gigas), the common species of conch eaten in the islands.

Cheshire Hall Plantation Encouraged by the success of his brother Wade Stubb’s plantation - Wade’s Green on North Caicos, Thomas Stubb set up Cheshire Hall in the late 1700s to raise cotton.

Eventually Thomas Stubbs gave up on Cheshire Hall and sold it to his brother Wade.

Up to the early 1800s, Cheshire Hall was the most important site on Providenciales and at its height comprised about five thousand acres and employed hundreds of slaves. After a few decades of mild success, the boll weevil insect, soil degradation and hurricane damage put an end to the cotton industry in the Turks and Caicos.
