- Small Islands Voice
-
Small Islands Voice is an inter-regional initiative focusing on small islands - both small island developing states, and islands with other affiliations - in the Caribbean, Indian Ocean and Pacific regions. The goal of this initiative is that the voice of the general public in small islands is heard loud and clear and that this voice becomes a driving force for island development. While this is a long-term vision, it is hoped that Small Islands Voice can make a significant contribution, which can help pave the way towards sustainable island development. Small Islands Voice started in early 2002 from St Kitts and Nevis in the Caribbean, from Seychelles in the Indian Ocean and from Palau in the Pacific, and they have all embarked upon different activities within their regions.
