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 1993, the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) provided technical assistance (TA) by way of a contingently recoverable loan to allow the Government of the Commonwealth of Dominica (GOCD) to engage consultants to visit, study and evaluate 12 ecotourism sites identified by GOCD and to make recommendations for improvements of access and facilities for the sites which had the most economic potential. This project was informed by the findings of that TA consultancy.
