Development of an Implementation Plan, Financing Strategy and M&E Framework associated with the Regional Framework for Achieving Development Resilient to Climate Change in the Caribbean

The CCCCC has engaged OIKO to undertake consultation with fourteen (14) CARICOM Member States and develop an appropriate comprehensive Implementation Plan, Financing Strategy, M&E Framework and reestablishment of a RCCCC towards operationalizing the Climate Change and the Caribbean: The Revised Regional Framework.

The development process was such that the regional framework, and the deliverables of this consultancy, were considered living documents owned by a cross section of stakeholders including Governments, nonstate actors, communities. It was necessary as well for this development process, to be gender sensitive and culturally appropriate. The deliverables of this assignment were presented to the CARICOM Community Council and the Heads of Government as such should be audience appropriate.
