Portfolios

Each of the regional leaders have been relegated to a specific task to oversee, in the capacity of a CARICOM quasi-cabinet. Once work on a specific subject area is completed, that information is transmitted to the other CARICOM Heads of Government and then a process of implementation is carried out by the governments in other member states.

Footnotes

  1. Note that for Guyana only the past Presidents are listed. In most instances the past Presidents of Guyana since it joined CARICOM were also past Prime Ministers at some point. Only Arthur Chung and Cheddi Jagan have never been Prime Ministers. Prime Ministers of Guyana (since it joined CARICOM) that were never Presidents at some point were Ptolemy Reid and Hamilton Green.
  2. The head of the interim government in Haiti, which was installed under controversial circumstances had been suspended, (as of 2004) from the councils of the Caribbean Community and was not recognized as the legitimate government, hence its leaders aren't listed.
