Evidence snapshot for Saint Vincent and the Grenadines
Saint Vincent and the Grenadines has undertaken several targeted development initiatives. The Gender Aware Beneficiary Assessment of St. Vincent and the Grenadines' Public Assistance Programme identified systemic gender gaps in the country's main social-assistance safety net and produced 10 concrete reform recommendations, finding a paper-based system with an individual rather than household-based benefit structure that disadvantages women. The One Laptop per Student Initiative has distributed laptops to secondary students since 2014 targeting 12,500 devices, though cumulative distribution totals and learning outcome evaluations remain unpublished. The Tobago Cays Marine Park operates as a self-financed protected area since 2006 with no government subsidy, serving an estimated 50,000 annual cruise-ship passengers and roughly 8,000 yachts, though a 2007 survey found live coral cover had declined to only 5–30%, demonstrating that financial sustainability alone has not reversed ecological degradation.
