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
In December 1997, the Board of Directors of CDB approved a loan to GOSKN of an amount not exceeding the equivalent of 7.026 million (mn) United States dollars (USD), which was funded by a mix of funds from CDB’s Special Funds Resources and Ordinary Capital Resources (OCR), to assist in financing the reconstruction of approximately 17 kilometres (km) of the Island Main Road (IMR) and institutional strengthening of the Public Works Department (PWD) of the Ministry of Communications, Works, Public Utilities and Posts (MCWPUP)1 to carry out effective road and bridge maintenance in the island of Nevis. In July 2001, the Board of Directors of CDB approved an additional loan to GOSKN of an amount not exceeding the equivalent of USD3.75 mn from CDB’s OCR to address funding constraints arising from tender prices received, which were higher than the estimates at appraisal.
