P.J. PATTERSON INSTITUTE FOR AFRICA-CARIBBEAN ADVOCACY

At the sitting of the U-F&GPC on October 27, 2021, The UWI ratified the Naming Committee’s decision to convert the P.J. Patterson Centre for Africa-Caribbean Advocacy into a University Institute.

The re-envisioned entity is now known as the P.J. Patterson Institute for Africa-Caribbean Advocacy.

This change from a Centre operating on the Mona Campus to an Institute allows the entity to work across all the campuses. Its mandate continues to be the coordination of public policy and advocacy in fostering development relations between the Caribbean and Africa. The new structure will ensure the engagement and deployment of the full range of distinguished scholars, technical experts and friends who are already committed to provide focused expertise on a critical range of regional needs to facilitate national, regional and international collaboration.
