## Resource

The Caribbean Development Bank is revolutionizing how the region tackles development by launching its first-ever Caribbean Evaluation Space—a bold, three-day forum uniting evaluators, policymakers, and local experts to build evidence-driven solutions. Led by the bank’s Office of Independent Evaluation, this initiative marks the first time the Caribbean is designing its own evaluation platform, rooted in local realities and leadership. With climate change and digital transformation reshaping the region, the CDB sees evaluation not as a final check but as a continuous learning tool to improve decision-making, boost accountability, and ensure every investment delivers real impact. They’re empowering young professionals to reshape how evidence guides policy—and ultimately, transforms lives across the Caribbean.
