A new era of United Nations partnership in the Caribbean is about to begin! 🇺🇳✨

Caribbean governments and the UN have set the stage for a strengthened development partnership at with the presentation of the new Multi Country Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (MSDCF) for the English and Dutch speaking Caribbean.

Covering 2027-2031, this framework will guide coordinated UN support to national and regional priorities, helping to accelerate progress toward the Sustainable Development Goals and deliver meaningful results for people and communities across the region.

The Framework was presented during the 2026 Annual Coordination Meeting of the United Nations MSDCF for the Caribbean, convened on 16 June 2026 in Belize. 🇧🇿

"The goal is not just to implement another plan but to achieve tangible results for the Caribbean: resilience to shocks, inclusive economies, opportunities for youth and women, stronger institutions, social cohesion and lasting prosperity."

Addressing , Roberto Valent, Director of the UN Development Coordination Office for Latin America and the Caribbean said the new cooperation framework that will guide UN partnership and development support in the Caribbean for the next five years must be ‘fit for purpose’ if it is to provide Caribbean countries with the support needed to achieve medium to long-term development goals

This, he said, requires the cooperation framework to be be forward-looking flexible, strategic and able to help countries navigate uncertainty while accelerating progress towards sustainable development.

Today in Belize, the United Nations and governments across the English- and Dutch-speaking Caribbean have gathered to present a shared regional development agenda for the next five years.

The Annual Coordination Meeting of the United Nations Cooperation Framework (ACM) is a yearly gathering where the regional UN System leadership and Caribbean government representatives review progress on the region's shared development priorities and plan the road ahead.

The 2026 ACM carries special significance. Five years ago, the UN and governments across the region committed to a shared blueprint for regional development — the UN Caribbean Multi-Country Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (MSDCF) 2022–2026. That framework, which has guided United Nations partnership in the region, expires at the end of this year. Today lays the foundation for a new phase of United Nations Caribbean partnership.

On the agenda: the presentation of the 2025 Regional Results Report, taking stock of what the current framework delivered in its final year, followed by the formal presentation of the MSDCF 2027–2031.

The new framework will shape how the UN partners with countries and territories of the English- and Dutch-speaking Caribbean over the next five years, driving progress across four pillars of development that will be shared during the meeting.
