Dutch-speaking Caribbean comprises several Small Island Developing States that face similar challenges in managing <strong>economic, financial, geographic and climate-related impacts that affect the food and nutrition security of the most vulnerable</strong>, particularly in crises. These countries and territories are also exposed to natural hazards such as droughts, earthquakes, floods, hurricanes, storms and volcanic eruptions.</p> <p>The <strong>high cost of living and the lingering impact of COVID-19 are driving food insecurity in the region. </strong>High-energy prices are further exacerbating the food-price crisis and affecting the affordability and consumption of food, especially for the poorest families. </p> <div class="expand expand--closed expand--field-field_rich_text_0"> <p>A CARICOM/WFP Caribbean Food Security and Livelihoods Survey in May 2024 estimated that 3 million people, or<strong> 43 percent of the population in the English-speaking Caribbean, are food insecure.</strong> While there has been a modest improvement compared to 2023, people continue to highlight challenges such as high food and input prices, and the impact of heatwaves, floods, droughts and tropical storms over the past 12 months. The survey highlights the growing hardships and challenges faced by the most vulnerable people.</p> <p>Climate-related disasters continue to increase in frequency and intensity, r<strong>eversing significant development gains</strong>, <strong>paralysing national response capacity</strong>, and <strong>threatening progress towards the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development</strong>. While there is a foundation of regional and national institutions to address the needs of vulnerable people, there is a need improve data access and analysis, coordination and visualization, for improved planning and decision making.</p> <p>Furthermore, Caribbean states face some of the highest rates debt in the world. Government debts average <strong>90.1 percent of GDP since 2020</strong>, placing the region significantly above the World Bank’s threshold for developing countries. Caribbean governments are advocating for more innovative climate financing and access to resources, to increase climate resilience.</p> <p>WFP Caribbean works with national, regional and international partners to strengthen resilience to the climate crisis, and to other risks. WFP adopts a systems-focused approach as part of its capacity-strengthening efforts, through <strong>research and advocacy, digitalization, human-resource development, South-South Cooperation, and by investing in critical infrastructure and assets</strong>. WFP works with partners to provide direct assistance to vulnerable people impacted by shocks, when events surpass national and regional capacities.</p> <p>These investments place the most vulnerable people at the centre of efforts to minimize the combined impacts of climate, economic and other shocks. WFP Caribbean’s 2022-2026 Multi-Country Strategic Plan supports 22 countries and territories across the English- and Dutch-speaking Caribbean through the provision of expertise in <strong>vulnerability analysis and mapping; end-to-end supply-chain management; shock-responsive social protection; food-systems strengthening, and climate-risk financing</strong>.</p> <p><strong>Countries covered by the WFP Caribbean Multi-Country Office include</strong> Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Aruba, Bahamas (the), Barbados, Belize, Bermuda, British Virgin Islands, Cayman Islands, Curaçao, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, Montserrat, Saint Lucia, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Sint Maarten, Suriname, Trinidad and Tobago, and Turks and Caicos Islands.</p> </div> <div class="tc expand--link-wrapper"> <a href="#" class="expand--more" data-js-expand-target=".expand--field-field_rich_text_0"> <span class="expand--label">Show more</span> </a> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="columns__side"> <div class="field field--field-paragraph-sidebar"> <div class="wfp-wrapper"> <section class="wfp-wrapper page--video bg-grey-2 w-100"> <div class="tc video"> <div class="video-player" data-accessibility-title="Video: WFP Caribbean&#039;s emergency preparedness and response operations" data-type="jwplayer" data-id="veZMxdmY" data-extension="" data-size="720"></div> </div> <div class="ph3 pv2 fs6 page--video-text"> <h3 class="fs5 fs4-md"> <div class="field field--field-title"> <div>WFP Caribbean's emergency preparedness and response operations</div> </div> </h3> <p></p> </div> </section> </div> </div> </div> </div> <div class="field field--field-paragraphs"> <div class="paragraph paragraph--type-page-accordion paragraph--view-mode-full mv4 mv5-lg clearfix"> <h2 class="page-stripe__title wfp-wrapper">What the World Food Programme is doing in the Caribbean</h2> <section class="accordion wfp-wrapper js--accordion"> <dl class="accordion__items js--accordion__items"> <dt class="accordion__item-title active"> <div> <span>Vulnerability analysis and mapping</span> </div> </dt> <dd class="accordion__item-panel active"> <div class="accordion__item-content">WFP Caribbean supports vulnerability and risk analysis, assessments and monitoring of cash programmes, and the introduction of innovations such as digital solutions – including remote surveying – to increase accountability and service delivery, and to inform decision-making.
