    By Country Office in Jamaica (VPC/CCB/CIA)
    The datasets come from two surveys of Jamaican businesses conducted between May and June 2020. Two sets of self-administered surveys were conducted using Survey Monkey. A very small sample of financial institutions was surveyed to gain perspective on the challenges facing financiers as a result of the pandemic, and their efforts to respond to such challenges. Nine financial institutions completed this survey, and the results were used to complement the information derived from the second and major survey.

    The Living Conditions and Social Development Survey (LCSDS) aims to evaluate and monitor the economic and social conditions, as well as poverty levels, in the communes near the Caracol Industrial Park (PIC). Located 25 km southeast of Cap-Haïtien (Haiti’s second most populous city), the PIC is a flagship economic development initiative that, by 2017, had created 10,000 new jobs in the light manufacturing sector. Between 2001 and 2003, the Haitian Institute of Statistics and Informatics (IHSI) conducted its first and only comprehensive survey on living conditions. The purpose of that survey was to establish baseline development indicators on topics such as housing and infrastructure, demographics, migration, education, labor, health, household income, domestic and public life, and agriculture. No similar comprehensive survey on living conditions has been conducted since. The LCSDS adapted the IHSI’s 2001-2003 survey questionnaire, adding specific modules on perceptions and opinions...

    By Climate Change Solutions Division (VPS/CSD/CCS)
    At the IDBG Annual Meeting in 2016, the Board of Governors resolved to endorse the goal of increasing the financing of climate change related projects in LAC to 30% of the IDB’s and IIC’s combined total approvals operations by 2020, subject to demand from borrowing countries and clients and access to external sources of concessional financing. During 2018, the IDB Group invested approximately US$5 billion in climate finance; that is, in development activities carried out by the public and private sectors that reduce greenhouse gas (GHG) emissions and thus mitigate climate change, and/or that reduce vulnerability to climate change and contribute to an adaptation process. This amount represented 27% of the IDB Group’s total approvals. Please note that only data from IDB and IDB Lab are available in this dataset.
