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.
