Our Offer

Within the Caribbean, the German Federal Ministry for Economic Cooperation and Development (BMZ) supports regional cooperation on climate resilience, environmental sustainability, biodiversity conservation, renewable energy, circular economy approaches, and inclusive economic transformation. These priorities are implemented through a regional GIZ portfolio developed in partnership with the Caribbean Community (CARICOM) and its 15 member states.

The Caribbean region faces challenges including climate change impacts, biodiversity loss, unsustainable waste management, energy insecurity, and limited economic opportunities for young people. GIZ is implementing six regional projects that support sustainable and climate-resilient development across the Caribbean, focusing on green and blue skills, sustainable blue economy, climate-resilient energy systems, circular economy, biodiversity conservation, and sustainable use of organic waste and sargassum. All six projects started in 2025 and run until 2028/2029. The main executing partner is the CARICOM Secretariat, based in Guyana. Country-level implementation focuses on Dominica, Grenada, Saint Lucia, and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. The GIZ project office for the portfolio is in Saint Lucia; the Regional Office in Santo Domingo oversees the wider portfolio.
