PORT OF SPAIN, Trinidad and Tobago \u2014 The Inter-American Development Bank Group (IDB Group) launched three key regional initiatives on cybersecurity, capital market integration and fiscal policy under its regional program\u00a0ONE Caribbean<\/a>, that aims to foster long-term stability and growth in the Caribbean.\u00a0<\/p>

The new actions were presented during the ONE Caribbean Ministerial Dialogue in Port of Spain, Trinidad and Tobago, a high-level gathering that marked the program\u2019s two-year milestone. Through this leadership dialogue, IDB Governors and regional partners deliberated on emerging priorities for shaping the next phase of the program.\u00a0<\/p>

\u201cRegional integration delivers its greatest value when it leads to practical solutions for people, businesses, and governments across borders, and ONE Caribbean is showing exactly what that looks like,\u201d said Anabel Gonz\u00e1lez, Vice President for Countries and Regional Integration at the IDB. \u201cIn just two years, the program has moved from concept to action, providing a strategic framework for alignment of over a billion dollars of IDB Group operations across the region, and leveraging an initial $20 million in IDB non reimbursable resources to raise an additional $13 million in donor grants, cultivating high-impact partnerships,\u201d she added.\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Under the Cybersecurity Preparedness and Rapid Response initiative, developed in partnership with the CARICOM Implementation Agency for Crime and Security (IMPACS), a coordinated regional response is being delivered to escalating cyber threats. ONE Caribbean is providing targeted support for countries to develop cybersecurity action plans and has established a dedicated facility offering rapid technical assistance for severe cybersecurity incidents.\u00a0<\/p>

ONE Caribbean is partnering with the CARICOM Private Sector Organization (CPSO) and Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) to promote deeper financial integration and explore feasibility of an ambitious Regional Capital Market which would foster harmonization of standards, reduce cross-listing barriers, and unlock long-term public and private financing across the region.\u00a0<\/p>

ONE Caribbean is also expanding fiscal research, training, and capacity building under the Fiscal Research Centre (FRC), established through a partnership between the IDB, University of West Indies, University of Ottawa, and Government of Jamaica. The FRC serves 17 countries across the region and through a \u201ctrain the trainers\u201d capacity-building model is now rolling out a foundation course for policymakers and academics as well as producing a flagship publication on lessons learnt from a decade of reforms, providing a local platform for economic and public financial management dialogue.\u00a0<\/p>

Additionally, under ONE Caribbean, the\u00a0Project Preparation Coordination Mechanism<\/em><\/a>\u00a0provides support for structuring public, private, and PPP projects across the region. The initiative has generated strong momentum with over 300 stakeholders engaged, 30 project proposals submitted across sectors such as energy, transport, water, waste management, and urban development, and multiple projects allocated funding in its first year alone.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t

Dr. Kennedy Swaratsingh, Minister of Planning, Economic Affairs and Development for Trinidad and Tobago, and Governor on the Board of Governors of the IDB said: \u201cThe ONE Caribbean Ministerial Dialogue is both a moment of reflection and a call to action. As Governors and Ministers, donors and supporters, our responsibility is to recognize that our region not only faces shared vulnerabilities, but also shared opportunities to pool technical expertise, scale up investment, and leverage innovative financing mechanisms. Today, we are more resolute than ever to ensure that ONE Caribbean delivers practical, people-centered outcomes with regard to safer communities, stronger economies, more reliable food systems and resilient infrastructure.\u201d\u00a0<\/p>

ONE Caribbean is the IDB Group\u2019s regional program and strategic framework for addressing shared Caribbean challenges in the areas of resilience and adaptation, disaster risk management, citizen security, private sector development, and food security, while strengthening institutions and promoting digital transformation.\u202fCreated in 2024 at the request of Barbados, Belize, Guyana, Jamaica, Suriname, The Bahamas, and Trinidad and Tobago, the program has crowded in grant resources from the United Kingdom and Canada, and also indirectly benefits countries of the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States through IDB\u2019s partnership with the Caribbean Development Bank.\u00a0<\/p>

The ONE Caribbean Ministerial Dialogue was co-chaired by the IDB with Government of the Republic of Trinidad and Tobago and was held on Tuesday April 21, 2026.<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t
