Consequently, many contributing governments have found themselves unable to meet their financial commitments to The UWI. As often stated by Professor Sir Hilary Beckles, Vice-Chancellor of The UWI, the region\u2019s ability to attain its higher education objectives is critical to its quest to become globally competitive and to provide a dignified, prosperous and sustainable lifestyle for all its inhabitants. Adequate funding, therefore, remains high on the university\u2019s list of priorities.<\/p><div id=\"antig-2783042676\" class=\"antig-content_4 antig-entity-placement\"><a

education to build more diversified and resilient post-COVID economies\u201d, which drew over 100 participants. The discussion revolved around the mobilisation of international resources to support the regional objectives of CARICOM. The forum, held in conjunction with the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), brought together leading international donors such as the World Bank, the IMF, the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), the European Union Aid, and agencies from Canada and Australia for a bilateral discussion. According to Vice-Chancellor Professor Beckles, \u201cThis was arguably the first time that The UWI was able to sit down with all the global development partners and speak about the future of the Caribbean.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p><div id=\"antig-880384657\" class=\"antig-content_3 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.antiguabarbudaculinarymonth.com\/\" aria-label=\"CM key_WEB 1300x300_1\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1301\/h:301\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CM-key_WEB-1300x300_1.jpg\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1301\/h:301\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CM-key_WEB-1300x300_1.jpg 1301w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:69\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CM-key_WEB-1300x300_1.jpg 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1024\/h:237\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CM-key_WEB-1300x300_1.jpg 1024w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:178\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/04\/CM-key_WEB-1300x300_1.jpg 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1301\" height=\"301\"   \/><\/a><\/div>\n<p>Through this multi-partner approach, The UWI seeks to establish a US$600 million trust fund over three years for the Caribbean\u2019s human capital development.

The result of this engagement was the signing of a Memorandum of Understanding (MOU) in September 2020. Among the areas of focus will be The UWI\u2019s wide-ranging climate change research and focus on climate justice, as well as the consolidation of climate initiatives through The UWI\u2019s Global Institute for Climate-Smart Studies and Resilience (GICSRS).<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>Each campus is also developing bankable projects to take to market. Among the signature ones are The UWI Global School of Medicine at Debe, Trinidad, and the move by The UWI Open Campus to provide online education products to new markets like Guyana.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>The delicate balancing of revenue generation and cost containment remains a priority for the university system. Therefore, developing on the concept of The UWI\u2019s next funding frontier, which Vice-Chancellor Professor Beckles introduced in May in his annual report to Council, he re-emphasized the two-pronged \u201cTen in Two Strategy\u201d, which mandates a reduction in expenditure across the board of 10% in two years. Through careful re-evaluation and revision of its expenditure, The UWI has succeeded in further cutting its budget by 6% in 2020.<\/p>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<p>These initiatives, as articulated by the Vice-Chancellor are reflective of a UWI that is becoming more agile, sustainable and equipped to exercise its mandate.<\/p>\n<div id=\"antig-1071027677\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Though the scope of the COVID-19 global pandemic might have been difficult to foresee at its onset, The University of the West Indies (The UWI), as an agile and responsive organisation guided by the tenets of its Triple A Strategy, has been both strategic and resourceful in seeking the funding needed to uphold its purpose [&hellip;]<\/p>\n","protected":false},"author":3,"featured_media":107563,"comment_status":"open","ping_status":"open","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[7],"tags":[118,119,117,116,107,88,102,94,96,91,90,99,92,114,115,98,108,106,104,109,95,105,110,112,113,111,101,103,97],"class_list":["post-120382","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","category-regional","tag-268-antigua","tag-268-antigua-barbuda","tag-268-antigua-today","tag-268-today","tag-advertise-in-antigua","tag-antigua","tag-antigua-barbuda","tag-antigua-and-barbuda","tag-antigua-breaking-news","tag-antigua-caribbean","tag-antigua-crime","tag-antigua-economy-news","tag-antigua-news","tag-antigua-news-rooom","tag-antigua-observer","tag-antigua-politics","tag-antiguan-news","tag-barbuda","tag-barbuda-news","tag-barbudan-news","tag-breaking-news-antigua","tag-news","tag-news-antigua","tag-news-antigua-barbuda","tag-news-antigua-and-barbuda","tag-news-barbuda","tag-news-in-antigua","tag-news-in-barbuda","tag-tourism-news"],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO Premium plugin v24.1 (Yoast SEO v24.1) -
