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.
