1. Who are we?
The Caribbean Regional Representation Office (CRRO) is based in Trinidad and Tobago and is one of the two regional extension offices of the Americas Zone that delivers secretariat services to its member National Societies. It is staffed by a regional representative, and provides finance, human resources and programme coordination support to the 13 Anglophone National Societies of the region.
Under the re-structuring of the Americas Zone, which commenced in 2013, the Caribbean Office assumes more direct responsibility for the coordination of its programme based secretariat staff. The staff supports various funded activities; primarily for disaster risk reduction, given that the Caribbean is located in one of the planet’s major hurricane belts.
The CRRO benefits from the dedicated focus of the Zone’s technical expertise, for a collaborative effort to more effectively assist National Society programme implementation and to deliver organizational support services to the Caribbean National Societies.
In addition, the CRRO houses an American Red Cross delegation under an Integration Agreement for the implementation of its bilateral activities in the Caribbean region.
