The Caribbean Growth Forum (CGF) wasthus designed to respond to these concerns: to be both aforum of dialogue to identify needed reforms, and a catalystfor the implemen¬tation of agreed reform priorities,creating the needed accelerators to make reforms happen,while keeping in mind the political economy factors thathave impeded reforms in the past. Since inception, the CGFprocess has been solidly grounded on few core principles:(i) tailor¬ing: the approach is based on locally definedproblems and solutions (home grown); (ii)ac¬tion-orientation: prioritization and sequencing ofreforms (e.g., combining gradual reforms with longer termstructural changes) and their translation into clear,achievable and measur¬able targets, dashboards and roadmapsfor implementation; (iii) transparency: making both targetsand the process public to increase participation and sharedcommitments, thus creat¬ing a routine culture of publicreporting to track progress openly (introduce behavioralchang¬es); (iv) flexibility: to ensure that the processallows for adjustments if targets are not reached and tocreate space for innovation; and (v) accountability:infusing a sense of shared re¬sponsibility across thecoalition that is supporting change, thus moving from ablaming cul¬ture to a culture of finding solutions by doing;and, eventually, anchoring the process around a small groupof responsible government officials and support them indelivering policies.
