With its capital mandate and instruments, UNCDF offers “last mile” financing models that unlock public and private resources, especially at the domestic level, to reduce poverty and support local economic development. In Eastern Caribbean region, The UNCDF is implementing a new global initiative entitled “Leveraging digital finance to increase resilience of African, Caribbean and Pacific Countries” which has been signed by the Organization of African, Caribbean and Pacific States (OACPS), funded by the European Union. Countries eligible for services of this programme selected by the OACPS include countries across the Pacific Islands, Sub-Saharan Africa region and Caribbean region.
