This Independent Country Program Review (ICPR) assesses the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB) Group’s strategy and program in Trinidad and Tobago (T&T) over the period 2016–2020. ICPRs assess the relevance of the Country Strategy (CS) and provide aggregate information on the alignment and execution of the corresponding country program and, to the extent possible, provide an overview of key achievements. ICPRs are primarily addressed to the IDB Group’s Boards of Directors (BoD). They seek to provide the BoD with relevant information, otherwise not readily available to them, to inform their consideration of the upcoming IDB Group CS. Like the Country
Program Evaluation (CPE), the ICPR draws on available projectand program documentation and involves interviews with key IDB Group staff members. Unlike the practice in CPEs, however, country stakeholders (both government and civil society) were not interviewed for the ICPR and no missions were undertaken.
