The Spotlight Initiative is backed by an unprecedented EUR 500M investment from the EU and aims at achieving transformational change. Based on evidence, the Initiative will focus on particular forms of VAWG that are prevalent or prominently emerge in specific regions: femicide in Latin America; trafficking in human beings and sexual and economic (forced labor) exploitation in Asia; sexual and gender-based violence (SGBV), including harmful practices (HPs), and sexual and reproductive health and rights (SRHR) in Sub-Saharan Africa; domestic/intimate partner violence (IPV) in the Pacific; and family violence in the Caribbean. Other donors and partners are being approached to broaden the Initiative’s regional, thematic and geographical coverage. Six pillars of work comprise the Initiative, which is premised on implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. The Sustainable Development Goal (SDG) target 5.2 calls for the elimination of all forms of VAWG. The Spotlight Initiative also aligns with the European Consensus on Development which identifies gender equality and women’s empowerment as a critical cross-cutting issue of EU development cooperation and the EU Gender Action Plan II (2016-2020)1, a practical tool guiding all EU cooperation with partner countries on how to take gender equality on-board. The EU Gender Action Plan centers physical and psychological integrity of women and girls as core to its three main thematic priorities. The Spotlight Initiative strongly reaffirms the EU's commitment to effective multilateralism and will enable the EU and UN to showcase their strong partnership in action, leading on the implementation of the 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development. This document outlines the programmatic framework of the Spotlight Initiative’s investments for the Caribbean region, starting in 2019. For the purposes of the Investment Plan, the eligible countries include the following; Antigua and Barbuda, Barbados, Belize, Dominica, Guyana, Grenada, Haiti, Jamaica, Suriname, St Lucia, St Kitts and Nevis, St Vincent and the Grenadines, The Commonwealth of the Bahamas, Trinidad and Tobago. British Overseas Territories as well as the Dutch Antilles are not included. This investment plan guides the Regional and country programme design, which is based on the global and regional results framework and theory of change. Regional context, progress, opportunities, and gaps will inform priority areas of focus, while forthcoming country programmes will define specific actions, clearly defined budget allocations, to be undertaken at the country level. In the Caribbean region, the Spotlight Initiative will focus on Family violence. Family violence covers physical, social, sexual, economic and emotional abuse and acts of aggression within relationships that are considered as family connections or akin to family connections. Family violence in the Caribbean region can be located within broader “cultures of violence” within the region which inform high levels of crime and violence as well as corporal punishment and the use of violent discipline. A definition of family violence for the purpose of the Spotlight initiative 1 https://ec.europa.eu/europeaid/sites/devco/files/eu_gap_2017.pdf 3 in the Caribbean takes into account the reality of various family forms present in the Caribbean region and the broader context of unequal gender-power relations in which these various family forms are situated. Taking unequal gender-power relations into account, family violence will be viewed as gender-based with the most prevalent form of violence within the family being violence against women and girls. Notably, a definition of family violence in the Caribbean context incorporates a focus on economic violence as well as psychological/ emotional violence, partner and non-partner sexual violence, domestic violence, sexual violence, Intimate partner violence as well as female intimate partner or family related homicide. Through a comprehensive approach, the Spotlight Initiative will focus its work on family violence through six key pillars: developing and implementing relevant legislation and policies, strengthening national and sub-national institutions, preventing violence through evidence- based programmes and campaigns, establishing and strengthening essential services for victims and survivors, ensuring the collection and use of prevalence and incidence data, and partnering directly with women’s movements and civil society. Initially, the Spotlight Initiative in the Caribbean will focus on family violence in Haiti, Jamaica, Guyana, Belize, Trinidad and Tobago, and Grenada. These countries were selected on the basis of agreed primary criteria including the prevalence of intimate partner violence, rate of female Intimate partner/ family related homicide and indicators making up the gender inequality index, and secondary criteria which assessed government commitment to the issue, enabling environment including for civil society, national and partner capacities, among other considerations. An assessment of primary criteria in the Caribbean region revealed that there are significant gaps in data making it impossible to determine any indication of prevalence for some countries of the Caribbean region. It was also significant that most countries of the Eastern Caribbean had no data based on prevalence and gender inequality indicators used which would support a ranking of these countries in terms of prevalence. All countries will programme on the six pillars of Spotlight Initiative’s Theory of Change as outlined above. There will also be a regional

  • Midterm Evaluation of Phase III of the Project Enhancing the Framework for the Development of a Heritage Economy in the Caribbean Report Final
    Midterm Evaluation of Phase III of the Project Enhancing the Framework for the Development of a Heritage Economy in the Caribbean Report Final Prepared for: Organization of American States Prepared by: Evan Green September 2019 Executive Summary This report presents the mid-term evaluation (MTE) of Phase III of the project “Enhancing the Framework for the Development of a Heritage Economy in the Caribbean” (EFDHEC). The MTE’s objectives are to (1) assess the progress and performance of Phase III of the Project and (2) determine to what extent the recommendations and lessons learned from the evaluation of Phase II were taken into account. The principle evaluation questions are based on four general criteria: relevance, efficiency, effectiveness and sustainability. Overall, the MTE concludes that Phase III of this project continue to completion. It is, however, strongly recommended that the Project be granted a 6-month no-cost extension to account for the 6-moth start-up delay and allow the Project to implement its planned timeline and that the OAS more closely and regularly monitor progress being made towards the existing targets and expected results. Summary conclusions related to each evaluation criterion are as follows: Relevance: The MTE confirms that the Project remains highly relevant for the Caribbean. Building on and integrating the lessons learned from previous phases, Phase III has further enhanced its relevance by focusing more at the community level and working more directly with governments. Effectiveness: The MTE found that overall progress made towards results is mixed for the Project. Given the early timing for MTE relative to the period of implementation, however, this was to be expected.

  • Are the Free Trade Zones Contributing to Decent Work? by Tina Renier Abstract
    Jamaican Development Strategies: Are the Free Trade Zones Contributing to Decent Work? By Tina Renier A Major Research Paper Submitted to Saint Mary’s University, Halifax, Nova Scotia in Partial Fulfillment of the Requirements for the Degree of Masters of Arts in International Development Studies December, 2019, Halifax, Nova Scotia Copyright Tina Renier, 2019 …………………………………… Approved: Dr. Suzanne Dansereau Professor Date of Submission: December 18, 2019 0 Jamaican Development Strategies: Are the Free Trade Zones Contributing to Decent Work? By Tina Renier Abstract Many developing countries have used export processing zones as central development strategies to attract foreign direct investment and to create employment However, a serious problem associated with export processing zones is the fact that workers, mainly women, have been subjected to low wages, deplorable working conditions, limited or no social security protection and freedom of association is strictly prohibited. Jamaica serves as a unique case study because it is a small island developing state in the Caribbean that faces serious development challenges due its fragile economy, growing population and dependence on foreign powers for international aid. The primary objective of the current Andrew Holness-led Administration of Jamaica is to promote economic growth through job creation in the business product outsourcing sector. The 2016 Special Economic Zones Act was introduced with a revised special incentive package to investment and create high value-added jobs in a new regime of zones. By using content analysis of online newspaper articles, I will argue that because, Jamaica’s current EPZ development strategy is heavily focused on using special incentives to attract foreign direct investment, it does not contribute to decent work.

  • Belize 2020 Human Rights Report
    BELIZE 2020 HUMAN RIGHTS REPORT EXECUTIVE SUMMARY Belize is a constitutional parliamentary democracy. In the most recent national election, held on November 11, the People’s United Party won 26 of 31 seats in the National Assembly. Party leader John Briceno was sworn in as prime minister on November 12. The Ministry of National Security is responsible for oversight of police, prisons, the coast guard, and the military. The Belize Police Department is primarily responsible for internal security. The small military force primarily focuses on external security but also provides limited domestic security support to civilian authorities and has limited powers of arrest that are executed by the Belize Defence Force for land and shoreline areas and by the Coast Guard for coastal and maritime areas. Civilian authorities maintained effective control over the security forces. Members of security forces committed few abuses. Significant human rights issues included: allegations of the use of excessive force and inhuman treatment by security officers, allegations of widespread corruption and impunity by government officials, trafficking in persons, and child labor. In some cases the government took steps to prosecute public officials who committed abuses, both administratively and through the courts, but there were few successful prosecutions. Section 1. Respect for the Integrity of the Person, Including Freedom from: a. Arbitrary Deprivation of Life and Other Unlawful or Politically Motivated Killings There was a report that the government or its agents committed arbitrary or unlawful killings. A team from the branch of the security force responsible for a killing or other abuse investigates the allegation and then presents the findings, recommendations, and penalties to authorities.
