About the Centre of Excellence

The world’s small island nations have built an intergovernmental institution of their own, a Centre created by SIDS for SIDS, global in scope and anchored in solidarity.

The SIDS Centre of Excellence, established through the Antigua and Barbuda Agenda for SIDS (ABAS) 2024–2034, marks a turning point, a shift from advocacy to action, from vulnerability to collective strength.
