1. ABOUT CARIBBEAN EXPORT
The Caribbean Export Development Agency (Caribbean Export) is the premier trade and investment promotion agency of the CARIFORUM region. Mandated to drive sustainable economic growth across its 15 Member States, the Agency designs and implements a wide range of programmes, activities, and events — including trade missions, business clinics, capacity-building workshops, sector-specific forums, export readiness seminars, and investment facilitation events.
These activities take place across the CARIFORUM region, spanning both the English- and Dutch-speaking Caribbean. Capturing the energy, impact, and stories generated during these engagements is central to Caribbean Export’s communications strategy and its mandate to demonstrate visible, on-the-ground results for the private sector.
2. PURPOSE OF THIS EXPRESSION OF INTEREST
Caribbean Export is building a regional roster of skilled local content creators who can provide professional photo and video support during Agency activities and events across the CARIFORUM Member States.
Rather than relying solely on travelling staff to capture content, the Agency wishes to engage local talent with knowledge of their country’s culture, context, and environment. Content creators selected for the roster will be contacted on an as-needed basis whenever the Agency schedules activities in their respective country or territory.
This EOI is not a guarantee of engagement. Being included on the roster means the Agency will reach out to you when relevant activities are planned in your location. Engagements will be confirmed individually, with agreed deliverables, timelines, and fees communicated at the time of each assignment.
