The Sixteenth Intergovernmental Session of the IOC Sub-Commission for the Caribbean and Adjacent Regions (SC-IOCARIBE-XVI) will be held from 3 to 6 May, 2021. This Session will be a Virtual Session. Due to the COVID-19 Pandemia, the Board of Officers of the IOCARIBE Sub-Commission agreed to convene for the first time an Online Session to enable continuity and follow-up of the work of the Sub-Commission. The Session will review the implementation and development of the IOCARIBE activities since the last session of the Sub-Commission held in Aruba in 2019 and evaluate the new project proposals based on Member States common interests and examine the state of implementation of the approved Recommendations. The Sub-Commission finally will formulate a new work plan and elect its Board of Officers for the next Biennium.
