ISN/ECC invites not-for-profit organizations, educational institutions, and PIOs to submit grant proposals for working with Caribbean Community (CARICOM) officials and CARICOM members to conduct a gap analysis of existing CARICOM members’ strategic trade control laws in the context of United Nations Security Council Resolution (UNSCR) 1540 implementation.

ISN/ECC has approximately $400,000 available to fund this project.
