The objective of the exchange between Jamaica and Barbados was to implement a national organic inspection and certification system in Barbados, based on the Jamaica Organic Association Movement (JOAM) experience. JOAM reached out to connect the Barbadian NGO with the International Organic Inspectors Association (IOIA), which provides training to organic inspectors, and promotes consistency and integrity in the organic certification process.
JOAM also put Organic Growers and Consumers Association (OGCA) in touch with the Grenada Organic Agriculture Movement (GOAM) which extended the South-South cooperation to Grenada, and members from GOAM were able to participate in the training of future inspectors in Barbados, with support from UNDP's GEF Small Grants Program (SGP).
