Activities

The UNESCO Kingston Cluster Office for the Caribbean was set up in January 2002 as part of the reorganization of UNESCO field structure. It works with and for 13 Member States and four Associate Member States in the English and Dutch-speaking Caribbean.  Before 2002, the Kingston office had responsibilities for Jamaica, Belize and the Bahamas.

The mandate of the office is to serve the Caribbean countries in the pursuit of peace, eradication of poverty, sustainable development and inter-cultural dialogue through programmes in education, culture, natural sciences, social and human sciences and communication and information.
