The Multi-Country Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (MSDCF)

The Multi-Country Sustainable Development Cooperation Framework (MSDCF) for the English- and Dutch-speaking Caribbean, covering the period 2022-2026, is the most important instrument for planning and implementation of the UN development activities towards the fulfilment of the 2030 Agenda. This framework has been developed as the world continues to grapple with the COVID-19 pandemic. In the Caribbean, as elsewhere, the impact of the 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
