Overview

WHO WE ARE
Launched in February 2022, CARE is a five year, 14 million Euro initiative to support disaster risk management (DRM) and climate resilience building efforts in CDB’s Borrowing Member Countries. The programme is funded with grant financing from the European Union through the 11th European Development Fund’s (EDF) Intra- African Caribbean Pacific – European Union- (ACP-EU) Natural Disaster Risk Reduction Programme and implemented by CDB.


WHAT WE DO
The CARE Programme is focused on improving governance on DRM and climate change adaptation in CDB’s BMCs and on strengthening evidence-based planning, decision-making, and financial response of BMCs. It also seeks to strengthen community infrastructure and livelihood resilience to climate change effects and natural hazards.
