CDB’s $76m program for St. Kitts and Nevis to improve energy infrastructure

The Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) has announced a program of assistance of $76.2 million for St. Kitts and Nevis over the period 2017 to 2021. The Bank’s Board of Directors approved the new strategy, which will support economic and social development, environmental protection and infrastructure enhancement. The program is built on three pillars: environmental protection and infrastructure enhancement, economic development and enhanced livelihoods, and inclusive social development.

The Country Strategy is a joint collaboration between the Government of St. Kitts and Nevis and CDB. The Bank consulted with stakeholders, including Government officials and development partners, emphasising country ownership of the proposed programme of assistance. Salient issues that emerged during these discussions, including urgent sector priorities and ongoing interventions supported by other development partners, have been taken into account.
