This project is designed to strengthen the institutional capacities of six Caribbean countries for national development planning and integrates the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development and the SIDS agenda in the subregion. Through this project, beneficiary countries will improve their capacities to design and implement evidence-based development planning and be better positioned to review and follow-up on the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This will be achieved through technical assessments and a series of training workshops on evidence-based approaches to national development planning and monitoring and evaluation methodologies. The project will be implemented through a stakeholders’ engagement strategy that puts national ownership as the basis of project implementation and that focuses on policymakers, development planners and statisticians as key stakeholders. This project will be implemented by the Economic Commission for Latin America and the Caribbean (ECLAC) subregional headquarters for the Caribbean, ECLAC’s Planning of Public Administration Division (ILPES) and the Small Island Developing States (SIDS) Unit of Division of Sustainable Development (DSD), Department of Economic and Social Affairs (DESA).
