History

Operation

The institute publishes research[2][3][4] in the areas of Economics, Governance, Sustainability and Social Issues. Recommendations from CAPRI's studies are shared with the public via large forums, and with policy-makers and influencers in Jamaica and other Caribbean countries.[5] CAPRI puts strong emphasis on advocating for the evidence-based policy recommendations it puts forward.[6]
