This Country Gender Assessment (CGA) for St. Lucia was commissioned by the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) as part of an initiative to update the CGAs for Anguilla, Belize and St. Lucia that had been completed in 2012. In implementing the CDB’s 2008 Gender Equality Policy and Operational Strategy (GEPOS), the assessments not only inform CDB’s support to the specific Borrowing Member Countries but also contribute to advancing gender equality in the Caribbean region. We would like to extend special thanks to Dr Carolina Ferracini, Mr. Elbert Ellis and Ms. Denise Noel-DeBique for their tremendous leadership of and support for this project.
