BRIDGETOWN, Barbados, CMC – The Barbados-based Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) says it has unveiled a new web presence, establishing a focal platform to make evaluation findings and other knowledge resources more easily accessible to stakeholders.
The CDB said that the online portal serves as the central hub for independent evaluations of the bank’s strategies, policies, programmes, and projects.
“It makes evidence more accessible to governments, development partners, civil society, and other stakeholders across the Bank’s Borrowing Member Countries, an important step in strengthening transparency, accountability, and learning across CDB’s operations in the Caribbean.”
The region’s premier financial institution said that the portal has been designed with accessibility and usability at its core and that the new web presence offers streamlined navigation, enhanced search functionality, and mobile-friendly access to evaluations, reports, and knowledge products.
It said it is grounded in the OIE’s mandate to support accountability and continuous improvement, and that the platform connects evaluation findings directly to decision-making and action.
“Our new web presence reflects CDB’s commitment to transparency, continuous learning, and connecting knowledge to action,” said Roberto La Rovere, the head of CDB’s OIE.
“By making evaluation findings more accessible, we are empowering stakeholders across the Caribbean to use evidence in shaping policies and programmes that deliver meaningful results.”
The CDB said that the platform introduces several important enhancements designed to improve access, usability, and engagement. At its core is a comprehensive “Evaluation & Resources” section, which serves as a basis for a one-stop platform for evaluation reports, management response action plans, briefs, and knowledge products.
In addition, a “News & Events” feature provides timely updates on recent developments, learning engagements, and key activities led by the OIE or delivered in collaboration with partners.
“This element aims to keep stakeholders abreast of ongoing evaluation work and highlight opportunities for dialogue and knowledge exchange across the region. Also, the portal’s User-Centered Design offers an optimal browsing experience across all access devices. ”
