The Caribbean Policy Research Institute (CAPRI) is a public policy think tank based at the University of the West Indies, Mona, Kingston, Jamaica.[1] The think tank's executive director is Dr. Damien King, Jamaican economist and lecturer in economics at the University of the West Indies, Mona.

Operation

The institute publishes research[2][3][4] in the areas of Economics, Governance, Sustainability and Social Issues. Recommendations from CAPRI's studies are shared with the public via large forums, and with policy-makers and influencers in Jamaica and other Caribbean countries.[5] CAPRI puts strong emphasis on advocating for the evidence-based policy recommendations it puts forward.[6]
