This evaluation examines the Caribbean Development Bank’s (CDB) Country Engagement Strategy (CES) for Saint Lucia for the period 2020–23, including activities designed and implemented until December 2024. The evaluation uses a mixed-methods approach, combining document reviews, portfolio analysis, and stakeholder interviews, to inform the next CES. The evaluation process supported participation, reflection, and co-creation. During the inception phase, feedback was collected from CDB staff and Government of Saint Lucia (GOSL) counterparts to refine the focus and ensure evaluation questions would generate insights aligned with both CDB’s strategic needs and GOSL priorities. A Theory of Change workshop was conducted with CDB and GOSL stakeholders to reconstruct the underlying logic of the CES and identify key assumptions and change pathways. This collaboration provided a shared foundation for assessing progress and strategic alignment. Validation of emerging findings was carried out via an online workshop. A hybrid co-creation workshop was held with Saint Lucia-based stakeholders and CDB staff to collaboratively develop recommendations and ensure proposed actions are useful, specific, and actionable, with the aim of increasing the success of the next CES.

Summary
Since the early 1970s, landslides have presented a direct safety hazard to persons living in affected areas or using the major roads along Grenada’s coasts and have posed a threat to the coastal road infrastructure. Three of the major roads in Grenada that form the arteries of the Strategic Highway Network are the Western Main Road; the Eastern Main Road; and the Grand Etang Road. Damage on these roads resulting from hurricanes Ivan and Emily had increased the risk factor (to medium and high) for many of the vulnerable sites where road collapse from landslides and erosion was imminent and posed considerable risk to human life, private and public property, natural assets, economic production, and communication and transportation infrastructure. Given the vital role of the road network and the major impact and disruption caused to the economy and society, GOGR decided to assess and address the risks and vulnerability of 42 sites.
