This document presents a synthesis of the main findings and lessons learned from evaluations completed in 2025 and published in early 2026, as well as from Project Completion Validation Reviews (PCVRs) conducted between 2023 and 2025. Together, these sources provide a consolidated view of the evidence emerging from the Caribbean Development Bank's recent evaluation portfolio.The evaluations and PCVRs offer important insights into what is working well, where challenges persist, and what lessons can be drawn to strengthen future programming. They provide evidence for the Bank, its Borrowing Member Countries (BMCs), and the Board of Directors to inform decision-making, enhance development effectiveness, and strengthen the design and implementation of future interventions.

Summary
This is the first country strategy evaluation of Barbados commissioned by the Office of Independent Evaluation. It covers two strategies: the 2010-13 Country Assistance Strategy (CAS) and the 2015-18 Country Strategy Paper (CSP). It also comments on the developments in the first year since the new government formed after May 2018, going slightly beyond the CSP period (by an additional 6 months) since these are highly relevant to the issues covered.
