Partner Agencies
The BCRC-Caribbean works with numerous international and regional partner agencies to accomplish its aims. These agencies range from funding partners such as the Global Environment Facility (GEF) to implementing agencies that oversee the implementation of projects including the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP). The Centre has also worked with the Governments of other Caribbean countries that are not Parties of the Basel Convention, and therefore are not officially served by the Centre.
