The Living Registry + CRAIG

Join the network now. Choose your pathway later.

The Living Registry remains a CAYAB programme and the voluntary entry point for young people and organisations. It is also being designed as the first layer of CRAIG, CAYAB's proposed trusted digital infrastructure for Caribbean agrifood. CRAIG is not yet an approved CARICOM platform.

Living Registry membership, verification, procurement eligibility and contract award are separate stages. Registration does not guarantee verification, funding, market access, a contract or an award. CAYAB's LAFP and CRAIG remain proposals subject to consultation and formal approval.
