  • The Situation of Children in the Eastern Caribbean Area and UNICEF Response
    The Situation of Children in the Eastern Caribbean Area and UNICEF Response This Multi-CPAP covers 12 countries: Anguilla, Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, British Virgin Islands, Dominica, Grenada, Montserrat, Saint Kitts and Nevis, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines, Trinidad and Tobago and the Turks and Caicos Islands, managed by the UNICEF Office for the Eastern Caribbean Area based in Barbados and some out-posted staff in Trinidad and Tobago. Eastern Caribbean Area countries covered by this document are included in (1) the United Nations Development Assistance Frameworks (UNDAFs) 2012-2016 for Barbados and the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) and (2) UN Joint Programmes for Trinidad and Tobago. The poverty headcount in the Eastern Caribbean area ranges from 14 per cent in Barbados to 39 per cent in Dominica. The situation of those living under the poverty line is exacerbated by high income inequality where 20 per cent of the richest people receive 57 per cent of total incomei. Children account for a disproportionate share of the income poor in these Small Island Developing States (SIDS). The most disadvantaged girls and boys in the Eastern Caribbean Area include an estimated 500,000 children from income poor families, as well as non-income poor children from rural areas and outlying islands within island states; those at risk of violence, abuse, exploitation and discrimination- such as boys who have dropped out of school, street children, children in conflict with the law, children in institutions, children affected by migration, indigenous children in Dominica, children affected by HIV and children with disabilities.
