UNDAF Report for Barbados and the OECS UN Subregional Team Office for Barbados & The OECS
January 7, 2019
The 2012-2016 United Nations Development Assistant Framework (UNDAF) was undertaken at a very challenging time for the ten programme countries of Barbados and the OECS. The countries were coping with the continuing effects of the global economic downturn, rising unemployment, worrying levels of crime and violence, social vulnerabilities, the damages wrought by natural disasters, and the existential threat of climate change. This report highlights the collective work of UN agencies between 2012-2016 UNDAF projects in addressing key issues facing the sub-region – the environment, disaster risk reduction, energy, social protection, health, and poverty reduction — through interventions in capacity building, support to policy and legislative design, advocacy initiatives and other forms of technical assistance. |
