Participants in the Caribbean Climate Smart Agriculture Forum met for the third time this year at the IICA Delegations in each of the English speaking countries in the Caribbean region to learn about the Green Climate Fund (GCF) and the opportunities it presents for the agriculture sector. 

Laetitia De Marez, Readiness Advisor with the GCF for the Caribbean Region, explained the strategic objectives, financial instruments, investment priorities and how to access the funding.  Following the regional exchange, the stakeholders in each country discussed national priorities and potential next steps to take to channel potential resources from the fund towards the agriculture sector.
