Functions of the west Indian federation?

The West Indian Federation, established in 1958, aimed to promote economic collaboration, political unity, and social development among its member territories. It sought to enhance regional trade, improve infrastructure, and foster a sense of Caribbean identity. The federation also aimed to provide a collective voice for member states in international matters, particularly relating to governance and self-determination. However, it faced challenges, including political divisions and economic disparities, leading to its dissolution in 1962.
