Since my first introduction to the Eastern Caribbean in July 1986 it has been my privilege and pleasure to meet and work with a great many people from all walks of life and from both public and private sectors. Without exception, all have knowingly or unknowingly contributed to this Training Manual by way of information, advice or debate. I would like to think that this Manual is just the first step towards repaying my debt of gratitude to those concerned.
In particular, I would like to thank those who have worked directly with and for the project, especially Cornelis (Kees) Schuur and his wife Jacqueline for their patient support to the 'boss' over the last two years. Thanks are also due to the Consultants on the project and co-workers in the region, including: Bob Patterson, John Burden, Mike Griffin, Lynda Wickham, David Crucefix, Andy Medlicott, Hannes Bjarnason, Ian Marshall, and all those workers from aid and development organizations in the region who have helped in any way they could.
Finally, I would like to thank Mr. Frederick Zenny for his valuable advice, guidance and patience, and all of his staff at the FAO Representative's Office in Barbados for putting up with me and supporting the project for the best part of three years.
