About the Sub-regional Resource Facility (SURF)
Established in September 1999 as one of the nine UNDP regional resource
facilities across the globe, UNDP’s Caribbean SURF supports the
Country Offices serving the English and Dutch-speaking countries in
the region (19 countries and territories) through the provision of expert
and information referrals; technical and general backstopping; and policy
advice leveraging UNDP global knowledge and making it applicable.
These countries and territories include: Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda,
Aruba, the Bahamas, Barbados, the British Virgin Islands, the Cayman
Islands, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, Montserrat, the Netherlands
Antilles, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Lucia, St. Vincent and the Grenadines,
Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, and Turks and Caicos Islands.
We work in three primary areas:
i. Achievement of the MDGs and Poverty Reduction
ii. HIV-AIDS
iii. Governance
The SURF also hosts UNDP's global gender network and provides gender-related
services to country offices.
