Programme Agenda: MSDCF 2022 Signing Ceremony Jamaica

The Multi-Country Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (MSDCF) for the English-Dutch-speaking Caribbean, covering the period 2022-2026, is the chief instrument for planning and implementation of the UN development activities towards the fulfilment of the 2030 Agenda. In the Caribbean, as elsewhere, the impact of the COVID-19 pandemic aggravated and revealed existing structural vulnerabilities and provides the opportunity to ‘build back better’. To address such vulnerabilities the UN and the governments in the region are committing to contribute to significant structural changes in the economies and governance systems of the countries, towards:

1. Economic resilience and shared prosperity
2. Equality and well-being
3. Resilience to climate change and shocks, and sustainable natural resource management
4. Peace, safety, justice, and the rule of law
