CIDT recently supported the Caribbean Development Bank in documenting outcomes from the Basic Needs Trust Fund Ninth Programme (2017–2022). BNTF 9 delivered 114 projects worth USD 38M, benefiting 54,000+ people across nine Caribbean countries.

Using a participatory and gender-responsive approach, we produced case studies from Jamaica, St. Lucia and Suriname, illustrating how targeted community investments can transform lives—from improved access to water to strengthened livelihoods and child-focused services.

CIDT is now supporting BNTF with a follow-up review to enhance Country Project Completion Report processes.
