Shaping our future together.
Through consultation with the citizens and organizations of Barbados, whether at home or abroad, the Constitutional Reform Commission has been appointed to oversee the development and enactment of a new Constitution of Barbados.
We have conducted this process through:
In-depth, multi-sector public consultation
Review and consideration of proposals from the general public
Knowledge sharing and public education around the Constitution
Conducting public awareness and engagement through relevant meetings and media programs
Producing a comprehensive plan of action in 15 months, from the inception of the Commission

The Role of Public Consultation.
The Commission facilitated public engagement, awareness, knowledge sharing, and development toward producing a dynamic Constitution that represents and steers a 21st Century Barbados.
To that end, every voice mattered. Through a series of robust town hall events, we invited every Barbadian at home and abroad to become craftsmen and women of our fate; to shape the Barbados we want it to be for us and for future generations, together.

“They have a mirror image of themselves. They have self-respect. They have a desire to move their country forward by their own devices. They are not waiting for anybody to come and give them handouts. And there is no unemployment.”
