Caribbean Policy Development Centre

The Caribbean Policy Development Centre (CPDC) is a coalition of Caribbean non-governmental organizations.

The Caribbean Policy Development Centre (CPDC) was established in 1991 and is a legally registered non-profit organisation headquartered in Barbados. The CPDC was first established as a policy unit within the Caribbean Conference of Churches (CCC) on the recognition of the significant adverse impacts that national, regional and international development policies were having on the region’s most vulnerable communities. Many of these communities were being served by the CCC and other Non-Governmental Organisations (NGOs). The NGO community recognised that its quality of life interventions were threatened by an inability to articulate people-centred policy advocacy and lobbying.
