This Country Strategy Paper (CSP) articulates the Caribbean Development Bank’s (CDB) programme of support and planned interventions for The Commonwealth of The Bahamas (The Bahamas) over the period 2018-2022.  The principal objective of the proposed Country Strategy (CS) with The Bahamas is to help the country achieve its medium-term development plan (MTDP).  This CS has strategically focused on particular intervention areas that have been identified in collaboration with the Government of The Commonwealth of The Bahamas (GOCB), for which implementation is at an advanced preparatory stage.  These intervention areas include the provision of quality climate resilient infrastructure, energy efficiency (EE) and renewable energy (RE), as well as governance and human capital improvement. The support will contribute to GOCB’s mandate of delivering inclusive and environmentally-sustainable growth.  In this context, the proposed CS responds to the development priorities of The Bahamas and is aligned with CDB’s Strategic Objectives of: (a) supporting inclusive and sustainable growth and development; and (b) promoting good governance, as well as CDB’s cross-cutting objectives of gender equality, regional cooperation and integration, and energy security.
