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
The Cluster PCVR is presented as two volumes. Volume 1 covers the three RRLs and will follow the standard validation process in which four core evaluation criteria (relevance, effectiveness, efficiency and sustainability); as well as two complementary criteria (CDB and Borrower performance) are assessed against the PCR. The validating of the five IRLs will focus only on two core criteria (efficiency and effectiveness); as well as complementary criteria (BMC and CDB performance). The validation of the IRLs is presented in Volume 2.
