| Summary: | The OECS and the IOC are two small organizations which share many similar characteristics and also some important differences, including in respect of the presence and membership of the French overseas regions. If historically, the OECS had economic and monetary integration in its core agenda, the IOC remains fundamentally focused on regional functional cooperation. The presence of the French Republic within the IOC is quite old, whereas in the OECS it is much recent and builds on the spirit of ‘territorial diplomacy’. Still, both these organizations gather small island economies with a view to support them addressing their common challenges and delivering many services and projects. In particular, they are able to leverage substantial resources brought by donors, from limited contributions earmarked in national budgets. Their existence therefore brings a strong value added to their Member States. |
