Evaluation of the meeting on promoting energy effeiciency in the Caribbean

The Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC), in collaboration with the
Caribbean Development Bank, convened the meeting “Promoting Energy Efficiency in the
Caribbean” on 13–14 May 2010 at its Subregional Headquarters for the Caribbean, in Port of Spain,
Trinidad and Tobago. The meeting had its genesis in the convening of consultations in 2009 with
Latin American and Caribbean countries, members of the Latin American Energy Agency, and
resulted in a report calling for greater awareness of energy efficiency among Caribbean countries, so
as to provide the impetus of the development of a regional energy efficiency strategy.
An evaluation form was distributed towards the end of the meeting, providing the participants
with the opportunity to assess the quality and success of different aspects of the meeting (the logistics
of the meeting, venue, the organization and the technical aspects of the meeting). ECLAC has
acknowledged the importance of receiving feedback from its meeting participants to tailor future
meetings to the specific needs of its clients.
