Approval of the West Indies First Policy

The ‘West Indies First Policy’ was conceptualised in recognition of the rich legacy of West Indies cricket in general, and the urgent need to protect its value and role within the context of CWI’s desire for achieving modernisation and excellence, on a dynamic global stage.

The policy speaks to the need for prioritising a pro-West Indian approach as it relates to employment opportunities, the procurement of goods and services, and the transfer and application of technology. More specifically, the policy ensures that persons of West Indian heritage are always considered for job opportunities, and empowered once employed. The historic culture-reshaping policy also recognises that some circumstances may require the engagement of non-West Indian professionals and suppliers, but mandates the exposure of those with West Indian heritage wherever possible. The West Indies First policy was unanimously approved by the Board of Directors
