🌟 #DYK in 2023, we launched the Accelerated Sustainable Energy and Resilience Transition (ASERT) 2030 Framework to expedite the Caribbean’s transition to #greenenergy? The ASERT-2030 Framework encourages and supports our Borrowing Member Countries to boost their #renewableenergy investments, enabling a transition from high-cost, carbon-intensive energy sources to cleaner, sustainable alternatives. This framework is a cornerstone of our commitment to environmental sustainability, aiming to create a future where our Region thrives on resilient, low-carbon energy systems that benefit both people and the planet. 💡See how we’re promoting environmental sustainability and much more in our 2023 Annual Report! 📊📈 https://ow.ly/gowK50SV1i10 #ASERT2030

Women's economic empowerment is crucial for achieving gender equality, yet women in business continue to face significant challenges. We're committed to addressing these issues and providing platforms that elevate women entrepreneurs. The Equality Village - Entrepreneurial Marketplace at SIDS4, hosted in partnership with UN Women was one such initiative, where 30 women entrepreneurs showcased their innovations and shared their powerful stories of overcoming challenges and driving change. With the support of ITC SheTrades, UK in the Caribbean and other development partners, these trailblazers had the chance to attend and amplify their voices on a global stage. Their participation highlighted how collaboration and support can break down barriers and inspire a more equitable future. Discover their stories and see how we're working together to create lasting change.🔗https://ow.ly/RiT150T6Z7a

🌟 The Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) is transforming lives in Haiti! We are thrilled to announce that we have approved a USD 5 million grant for the First Power (Rural Electrification Mini-Grid) - Haiti Project! This ground-breaking initiative aims to bring reliable electricity to rural communities in Haiti, where many still rely on candles, kerosene, and charcoal. Key highlights of the project include: 🔹 Expanding low-voltage distribution networks 🔹 Connecting customers to energy mini-grids 🔹 Procuring a skilled operator 🔹 Implementing a sustainable business model 🔹 Integrating a Gender Policy and Action Plan With only 40% of Haiti's population having access to electricity, and just 10% of rural areas with reliable energy, this project is a major leap towards the Government of Haiti’s goal of providing modern, affordable energy to all by 2030.
