Antigua St John's - Antigua & Barbuda’s High Commissioner to London, His Excellency Dr Carl Roberts CMG, was elected to chair the Board of Governors of the Commonwealth Secretariat for the next two years.

The Secretariat, a release said, is comprised of two governing bodies, namely the Board of Governors on which all 54-member governments are represented, and a 16-member Executive Committee which was constituted by the Board 10 years ago.

As an intergovernmental organisation, the Secretariat is responsible for implementing the agreed decisions of Commonwealth Heads; coalition-building; information sharing; analysis; technical assistance; capacity building; and advice and policy development.

“The Commonwealth Secretariat is a geographically and economically diverse association with direct access to policy-makers and governments,” the release said.

“This makes the Commonwealth uniquely able to facilitate projects, programmes and meetings. It also allows for the sharing of best practice between members who are often facing similar issues.

The governing body also works along with other international organizations such as the United Nations (UN) to help them deliver on the mandates from Heads of member governments. This collaboration eliminates duplication of projects and enables responsible use of resources.
