Evidence snapshot for Bahamas
The Bahamas has implemented several digital and conservation initiatives with mixed early evidence. AccessAbility Bahamas' free mobile app reached over 2,000 users (roughly 20% of persons with disabilities) in its first year, bundling emergency services, sign-language interpretation, and job listings, though these figures come from government reporting rather than independent evaluation. In November 2024, the country closed a $300 million debt conversion deal unlocking an estimated $124 million over 15 years for a Protected Areas Fund managing 6.8 million hectares of marine protected areas, though management improvements remain in early implementation stages with only 26 of 70 protected areas assessed as of mid-2026. A 2016 constitutional referendum on gender-equal citizenship rights passed unanimously in parliament but was rejected by voters (61–79% No).
