Regional projects
Support to Poverty Assessment and Reduction in the Caribbean
This multi-donor and regional programme is coordinated by UNDP. It is
designed to strengthen poverty monitoring so as to further develop social
policy in Caribbean countries. The programme builds on the existing statistical
support programmes of CARICOM, the Caribbean Development Bank, the UN
system and other aid agencies. It has been helping the countries and the
region as a whole to systematically collect, analyze and distribute data
for social policy formulation. The overall outcome of this programme will
be a systematic and coherent flow of donor inputs to support a Caribbean-wide
system that captures social data, monitors poverty and develops policy.
