The training sessions, scheduled to take place across several OECS Member States, will provide participants with key insights into competition law enforcement and institutional frameworks necessary for establishing effective competition authorities. The initiative is funded under the OECS 11th European Development Fund (EDF) – Regional Integration Through Growth Harmonisation and Technology (RIGHT) Programme.

The workshops will be held as follows:

• 17-19 February 2025 – St. Kitts and Nevis (Joint Session with Montserrat)

• 6-7 March 2025 – Grenada
• 10-11 March 2025 – Antigua and Barbuda (Joint Session with Dominica)

This initiative is part of a broader effort by the CCC and OECS Commission to strengthen regional competition enforcement and policy, ensuring compliance with the Revised Treaty of Chaguaramas and the Revised Treaty of Basseterre. The training aims to foster fair competition, encourage economic growth, and enhance regional consumer welfare.
