These decisions, while understandable from a national perspective, have direct and painful consequences for our region,\u201d\u00a0 he told the gathered representatives from regional groups.<\/p>\n<p>&#8220;At the Caribbean Policy Development Centre, we have already felt this deeply, losing over US$200,000 in programme and project funding in just the past three months alone. This is not just a number; it translates to fewer services, fewer outreach programmes, fewer lives impacted. Across the region, similar stories are playing out. Organisations are being forced to scale down and postpone initiatives, or, in some cases, shut their doors. We are witnessing a slow erosion of the very ecosystem that supports Caribbean people in some of their most trying moments,\u201d he continued.<\/p>\n<p>Jones also pointed out that despite the \u201cgrowing threat\u201d of climate change, funding allocated for climate adaptation in vulnerable populations is experiencing a \u201cnotable decline.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThis is especially troubling because these communities\u2014often rural, coastal, or Indigenous\u2014are the least equipped to absorb shocks, and the least represented in decision-making,\u201d the social development expert continued.<\/p>\n<p>He called on delegates to explore diverse funding avenues, including engaging private sector partners and diaspora communities. Additionally, he urged participants to remain committed to their identity as representatives of the Caribbean NGO sector. Too often, our narrative is written from the outside, framed by donor priorities or international benchmarks. But we know that our experiences, solutions, and contributions are unique and worthy of documentation and celebration.\u201d<\/p>\n<figure id=\"attachment_343487\" aria-describedby=\"caption-attachment-343487\" style=\"width: 640px\" class=\"wp-caption aligncenter\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" class=\"size-large wp-image-343487\" src=\"https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IME00330-642x428.jpg\" alt=\"\" width=\"640\" height=\"427\" srcset=\"https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IME00330-642x428.jpg 642w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IME00330-300x200.jpg 300w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IME00330-768x512.jpg 768w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IME00330-1536x1024.jpg 1536w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IME00330-640x427.jpg 640w, https:\/\/dominicanewsonline.com\/news\/wp-content\/uploads\/2025\/06\/IME00330.jpg 1920w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 640px) 100vw, 640px\" \/><figcaption id=\"caption-attachment-343487\" class=\"wp-caption-text\">Senior Development Specialist at CPDC Olivia Chase.
