\"\"Five-day training at Robert Mathavious Institute (12\u201316 May 2025) will sharpen local capacity to analyse poverty, manage public institutions and accelerate evidence-based development.<\/em><\/p>\n

Road Town, Tortola\u2014The Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) Commission, in partnership with the Caribbean Development Bank (CDB), will host a five-day \u201cMacro-Social-Economic Analysis & Institutional Assessment\u201d (MSEA-IA) workshop from\u00a012\u201316 May 2025<\/strong>\u00a0at the Robert Mathavious Institute, Oleander Building, JOMA Properties, Port Purcell. The training is a flagship activity of the\u00a0Enhanced Country Poverty Assessment (eCPA)<\/strong>\u00a0programme that spans all nine OECS Member States.<\/p>\n

Why the workshop matters for the BVI<\/strong><\/p>\n

\n
    \n
  • Builds home-grown analytical skills.<\/strong>\u00a0BVI public- and private-sector participants will learn to interrogate national data on growth, jobs, social protection, climate risk and service delivery, using CDB\u2019s internationally recognised eCPA toolkits. This equips local teams to produce high-impact poverty and vulnerability assessments without relying exclusively on external consultants.<\/li>\n
  • Strengthens institutions that citizens rely on.<\/strong>\u00a0The Institutional Assessment (IA) sessions show how to rate agencies on policy quality, effectiveness, equity and accountability\u2014then close gaps so that schools, hospitals and social-protection bodies serve the public better.<\/li>\n
  • Informs smarter, faster investment decisions.<\/strong>\u00a0A robust MSEA pinpoints the sectors, locations and population groups where targeted financing will deliver the greatest poverty-reduction pay-off\u2014vital intelligence as the BVI positions itself for resilient post-pandemic growth.<\/li>\n
  • Creates a cadre of certified trainers.<\/strong>\u00a0Participants leave with practical \u201ctrain-the-trainer\u201d materials, seeding a nucleus of local experts who can replicate the methodology across ministries and NGOs.<\/li>\n
  • Aligns the Territory with regional & global benchmarks.<\/strong>\u00a0Outputs plug directly into SDG monitoring frameworks and OECS regional dashboards, ensuring that BVI progress is visible to investors and development partners.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

    What participants will experience<\/strong><\/p>\n

    \n
      \n
    • Four interactive sessions per day<\/strong>\u00a0covering demographic analysis, fiscal trends, labour-market dynamics, climate-change impacts, institutional survey techniques and gap-analysis tools.<\/li>\n
    • Hands-on use of Survey Solutions software<\/strong>, giving attendees real-time practice in digital data-collection and dashboard visualisation.<\/li>\n
    • Group simulations<\/strong>\u00a0that walk teams through drafting an executive summary, policy matrix and monitoring plan for an actual MSEA-IA report.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n

      OECS Commission leadership<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Ms. Sisera Simon, Head of the OECS Human & Social Division, notes:<\/p>\n

      \u201cThe eCPA is about empowering Member States to own their development story. By bringing this training to BVI we are investing in the BVI\u2019s ability to diagnose challenges, craft solutions and demonstrate results to citizens and partners alike.\u201d<\/p>\n

      CDB Investment<\/strong><\/p>\n

      Elbert Ellis, Portfolio Manager, Social Sector Division, Caribbean Development Bank, emphasises: \u201cThe training workshop is a critical investment in building national capacity to conduct rigorous, context-specific analysis of the social, economic, and institutional drivers of poverty and inequality.\u00a0\u200b By equipping stakeholders with the tools and knowledge to better understand social and institutional dynamics, we are empowering them to design and implement more effective, inclusive development strategies in alignment with national priorities and objectives of CDB’s Enhanced CPA Programme.\u201d<\/p>\n

      The workshop will be facilitated by Kairi Consultants Ltd.\u2014regional pioneers in poverty diagnostics\u2014under the oversight of the eCPA Project Coordinator. Funding is provided through a CDB technical-assistance grant.<\/p>\n

      Expected outputs<\/strong><\/p>\n

      \n
        \n
      • A draft macro-social-economic profile of the BVI that highlights policy priorities for 2025\u20132030.<\/li>\n
      • A preliminary institutional score-card pinpointing strengths and weaknesses across key public-service agencies.<\/li>\n
      • A cadre of 25\u201330 national practitioners ready to finalise the BVI\u2019s full MSEA-IA by August 2025, feeding into the Territory\u2019s wider Country Poverty Assessment and medium-term development strategy.<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n<\/div>\n
