CDB and Dominica’s new action plan for resilient growth

Published on December 1, 2025

The Caribbean Development Bank and the Government of the Commonwealth of Dominica recently conducted a Country Portfolio Performance Review (CPPR) and Country Engagement Strategy (CES) mission that culminated in an agreement to develop a joint Action Plan to guide future collaboration.

The CPPR and CES meetings convened senior government officials, CDB representatives, and key national stakeholders to review project progress, address implementation challenges, and identify new opportunities to advance Dominica’s sustainable development agenda.

Discussions focused on key sectors including infrastructure, water, agriculture, climate resilience, energy, and education. Featured initiatives included the Dominica Geothermal Project, the Basic Needs Trust Fund (BNTF) and the United Kingdom Caribbean Infrastructure Fund (UKCIF).

Insights from these discussions directly informed the focus of the joint Action Plan, a multi-year framework designed to support Dominica’s ambition of building a resilient, inclusive, and sustainable economy. During the meetings, the Government also presented its medium-term priorities and outlined areas for support under CDB’s Special Development Fund (SDF) 11.
