Informed and inspired by a conference hosted by International IDEA and UNDP in Bridgetown, Barbados, in June 2023, the report enables the sharing of experiences and the cross-pollination of ideas from across the region. It brings together the perspectives of Commonwealth Caribbean constitutional scholars and leading practitioners of
constitutional change, including government ministers, other senior parliamentarians, members of constitutional reform commissions or committees, and international advisors from UNDP and International IDEA.
This report will be useful to anyone involved in these constitutional review and reform processes, whether governmental, intergovernmental, non-governmental or academic.
