What works in Bahamas

The Bahamas has implemented several digital and conservation initiatives in recent years. The AccessAbility Bahamas Mobile App reached 2,000+ users in its first year, serving approximately 20% of persons with disabilities by bundling emergency alerts, sign-language interpretation, job listings, and transport bookings—though these figures are self-reported by government and UNDP rather than independently verified. The Bahamas' debt conversion for marine conservation closed in November 2024, refinancing $300 million of commercial debt to unlock an estimated $124 million over 15 years for managing 6.8 million hectares of marine protected areas, though management improvements are still in early implementation stages as of mid-2026.
