The provision of Technical Assistance (TA) is a core function of the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB)in carrying out its purpose which is to “contribute to the harmonious economic growth and development of the member countries in the Caribbean... and to promote economic co-operation and integration among them.” Yet, the financing and the management of TA has changed significantly over the past 40 years and past evaluations of CBD’s TA portfolio as well as feedback received in 2010 from CDB’s internal and external stakeholders have consistently highlighted weaknesses in terms of the strategic relevance and programmatic coherence of the TA portfolio. A revised CDB TA Policy and Strategy were developed and are presented to CDB’s Board for approval.
