A CAYAB proposal under development

CRAIG

The trusted digital infrastructure proposed for Caribbean agrifood.

CRAIG is being designed as a separate operational platform that can connect trusted identities, readiness, services and opportunities. CAYAB.org will continue to explain and govern the initiative; a future CRAIG portal would handle approved operational services.

One registry, one pathway

We are building on the Living Registry—not replacing it.

The Living Registry remains CAYAB's network and public entry point. Within the proposed CRAIG architecture, it becomes the first voluntary layer from which a user may later choose additional services.

No one becomes a verified supplier simply by joining. Verification, procurement eligibility and contract awards remain separate decisions made under approved rules by competent authorities.

Proposed architecture

Three connected parts, with clear boundaries.

CRAIG is conceived as interoperable trust infrastructure, not another centralised database or a replacement for existing national and regional systems.

01

Living Registry

Who are you?

A voluntary CAYAB profile for youth, producers, students, professionals, organisations and allies—with clear consent choices.

02

Trust Framework

What evidence supports your readiness?

Proposed consent-based credentials for identity, skills, farms, production, business, compliance, learning and performance.

03

Relationship Graph

Who issued or supports that evidence?

Proposed authorised connections among users, extension, ministries, buyers, training institutions, finance and research.

What remains on CAYAB.org

The public information and community doorway.

  • What the Living Registry is and who may join
  • Benefits, privacy information and participation choices
  • Consultations, news and opportunities
  • Public CRAIG information, policies and governance updates
  • A single link to the official registration service when ready

What a future CRAIG portal would handle

Private accounts and approved operational services.

  • Accounts, profiles and consent management
  • Authorised evidence and Trust Passport credentials
  • Readiness pathways and support referrals
  • Opportunity connections and approved integrations
  • Corrections, appeals, data requests and private records

Trust requires boundaries

What registration does—and does not—mean.

Registration

Creates a voluntary CAYAB network profile with consent choices.

Verification

Would require evidence checked or issued by an authorised institution.

Eligibility

Would be determined separately against the rules of each buyer or programme.

Award

Would remain the responsibility of the lawful procurement or programme authority.

Current status

CRAIG is a proposal—not yet an approved CARICOM platform.

CAYAB is developing the concept, governance, safeguards, interoperability requirements and phased pilot route for consultation with the LoA Committee, CARICOM, Member States and relevant institutions.

The formal expansion of the name CRAIG, permanent ownership, operating institution, partner roles, financing and regional designation all remain subject to consultation and written approval.
