CARICOM-UNDP Diagnostic Document: A Regional Approach to Addressing Crime, Violence, Resilience and Human Security in the Caribbean
May 22, 2026
The CARICOM–UNDP Diagnostic Document: A Regional Approach to Addressing Crime, Violence, Resilience, and Human Security in the Caribbean provides a regional analysis of the interconnected drivers, trends, and impacts shaping crime, violence, institutional trust, and human security across the Caribbean. Grounded in a public health and prevention-oriented framework, the document examines how violence intersects with governance, social inequality, mental health, organised crime, gender dynamics, youth vulnerability, and broader development pressures across the region.
It is accompanied by the CARICOM-UN Framework for Action - a strategic support tool for Caribbean governments and regional institutions in strengthening prevention-oriented approaches to citizen security, resilience, and human security.
