Independent Country Programme Evaluation: UNDP Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean
Independent Country Programme Evaluation: UNDP Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean
February 26, 2021
The Independent Country Programme Evaluation for the United Nations Development Programme in Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean, covers the programme period 2017 to 2020.
The Eastern Caribbean islands are among the most important biodiversity hotspots in the world. Hurricanes and extreme weather events, whose magnitude have been exacerbated by the consequences of climate change, are clear symbols of their vulnerability. The COVID-19 pandemic has, however, drawn attention to the multifaceted nature of their vulnerability, and the dependence of their economies and livelihoods on tourism as a
driver of development.
The evaluation found that UNDP is a valuable partner in the region. UNDP is primarily perceived to have added value in the area of climate change and natural resource management, where it hasappropriately focused its efforts. The UNDP decision
to expand its footprint outside Barbados facilitated strong relationships with national governments, and is well aligned with its commitment to strengthen support to Small Island Developing States.
