Evidence snapshot for Antigua and Barbuda
Antigua and Barbuda has pursued multiple development and social initiatives grounded in evidence. UNESCO partnered with the Ministry of Education to deliver youth media and information literacy engagements in 2024, reaching 338 stakeholders including 46 youth organisations and 3 disability organisations, with a regional extension planned for 2026, though documented impact focuses on participation counts rather than literacy or classroom outcomes. The country's goat and rat eradication programme on Redonda island (2016–2018) triggered a sixfold rebound in endemic ground lizard density and over 2,000% increase in vegetation biomass, leading to the designation of a 30,000-hectare Redonda Ecosystem Reserve in 2023. Since January 2019, Antigua and Barbuda has operated the Eastern Caribbean's first Sexual Offences Model Court with specialised judges and integrated survivor support, adopted as a regional template by the Caribbean Court of Justice, though no published conviction or outcome statistics are available.
