2I. Introduction
1. This Country Programming Framework (CPF) sets out three government priority areas to guide
FAO partnership and support with the Government of the Commonwealth of The Bahamas.
The goal is to bring together innovative international best practices and global standards with
national and regional expertise during the four years from 2016 to 2019.
2. The CPF was prepared following consultation and agreement with representatives of:
Ministries of Agriculture and Marine Resources, Health (Nutrition Unit), Social Services and
Education; members of the Committee on FAO Matters; Civil society and Non-Governmental
Organizations; Farmers’ organizations, and regional development partners.
II. Country context and priorities
3. The Bahamas is currently in the process of developing a long term National Development Plan
to be known as VISION 2040. Led by the Economic Development Planning of the Office of
The Prime Minister, Ministry of Investments and supported by the Inter-American
Development Bank (IDB), the plan is expected to provide to outline the national development
agenda at the highest level. It will be a multi-sectoral, non-partisan, inclusive roadmap of
development for the country over the next twenty-five years. The VISION 2040 was launched
earlier this year and has so far completed an early situational analysis with focus on social
policy, governance, the environment, infrastructure and the economy. It continues with an
emphasis on building national dialogue and consensus for the process. It is expected that the
final document will be ready in 2016.
Among the national priorities that align with the FAO mandate include Youth unemployment,
reduction in the level of Non-Communicable Diseases (NCDs), reduction in the High Food
Import Bill and Climate Change adaptation. Of note is that the unemployment rate was 15.7%
in the last quarter of 2014, with unemployment among youth (15 – 24) recorded at 31%. This
is an area on which the government is focusing its efforts.
At the sectoral level, 1.3% of the national annual budget has been allocated to the Ministry of
Agriculture for 2015/16. Despite this, and a 1.8% contribution to GDP (2014, World Bank),
the sector is receiving increasing attention. The development of agriculture is being guided by
the 2013 document, Rebuilding Bahamian Agriculture: A 20 Year Plan by Wm. J. Godfrey
Eneas. It includes the continued consolidation of the implementation of The Bahamas
Agricultural & Marine Sciences Institute (BAMSI). This is a USD 20M national investment
which has been established to drive the development of agriculture and use of marine resources,
create employment opportunities and increase agricultural production in the country.
In addition to the above, another relevant issue for The Bahamas is the impact of changes in
consumption patterns which have contributed to the emergence of Chronic Non-Communicable
Diseases [CNCDs] which is the leading cause of morbidity and mortality. Together with the
high food import bill which is estimated to be above USD 500 million annually, there are several
areas of attention required in food and nutrition security. The National Food and Security
Policy and Action Plan, which is currently being drafted with the support of the FAO, will form
the basis for addressing these over the medium to longer term. With respect to gender, The
Bahamas prepared a draft National Gender Policy which was in final consultation in 2013.
4. Within the framework of the five Strategic Objectives of FAO, the region of Latin America and
the Caribbean (LAC) has prioritized three Regional Initiatives which target key areas of work
– 1) Hunger Free Latin America and the Caribbean (related mainly to SO1, SO3); 2) Family
Farming and Rural Territorial Development (related mainly to SO3, SO5); and 3) Agricultural
3and Food Value Chain Development – Improving Food and Feed Systems (related mainly to
SO2, SO4).
Further, the Caribbean Sub-region has developed a strategic plan with four main programme
elements which based on the last CPF process, the three Regional Initiatives and the five
Strategic Objectives. These programme elements were approved at the meeting of Caribbean
Ministers attending the FAO Regional Conference in March 2014. They are as follows:
a. Zero Hunger Challenge Initiative
b. Value Chain (Food and Feed Systems) Initiative and Small Scale/Family Farming
c. Risk Management, Resilience and Territorial Development
d. Public Policy and Governance
The priority areas identified by national stakeholder for theire new CPF are clearly integrated
into this framework and continue to build on the advances that have been made in the concluding
CPF (2012 – 2017).
Between FAO’s mandate and its gender equality goal and objectives there is a clear synergy.
FAO believes that progress towards eliminating hunger and poverty will result from: i) ensuring
that its programmes and projects, as well as its normative work, reduce the gap between rural
women and men in access to productive resources and services; ii) ensuring that women and
men have the ability to influence programme and policy decision-making, and building
institutional responsiveness and accountability (voice); and iii) ensuring that rural women and
men can take up economic opportunities to improve their individual and household well-being
(agency). Women’s ability to articulate their needs and priorities will facilitate the ability of
rural institutions in member countries to address women’s needs and become more accountable
to both women and men farmers. Both women and men need an enabling environment to
exercise choices and transform them into desired actions and outcome.
III. FAO’s contribution and expected results
5. The following are the three priority areas that have been identified for collaboration between
FAO and The Bahamas over the period 2016 – 2019:
I. Food and Nutrition Security and Safety
II. Climate Change and Sustainable Resource Management
III. Poverty Elimination
Additionally, FAO will continue to advocate for global and inter-regional dialogue and
collaboration, where appropriate, support the country to participate in the normative work of
bodies, treaties, commissions such as but not limited to CODEX1, IPPC2, OIE, WECAFC3,
Plant and Genetic Resources Commission, and JMPM4.
In addressing these priorities, FAO’s support can directly contribute to providing a strategic
approach to the national development agenda. The priority areas are also aligned with the
current focus of FAO work in the region and therefore will fully benefit from the work
programmes that the Organization has the capacity to deliver effectively.

4It should also be noted that strategic partnerships with non-state actors are crucial for achieving
the CPF results. At a national level, it can be achieved by mobilizing other actors to work
together in sharing the best available knowledge and capacities to provide the most effective
services toward common goals. These partners should include academia and research
institutions, civil society - including technical NGOs, producers’ organizations and
cooperatives, and the private sector. It should also consider UN agencies, funding and
development partners, south-south cooperation governments, international financial institutions
(IFIs) and inter-governmental entities.
Currently, Caribbean countries, including The Bahamas, are in the process of developing a
United Nations Multi-Country Sustainable Development Framework (UNMSDF) of assistance,
which will replace the UNDAF5 as a mechanism for the United Nations Country Team (UNCT)
delivery. It seeks to strengthen regional and national capacity for the implementation and
monitoring of the Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). Also, it supports the governments
in developing appropriate mechanisms for tapping into the contributions of other actors in
delivering shared national sustainable development priorities.
The Common Multi-Country Assessment (CMCA), the first step in the preparation of the
UNMSDF has been drafted. It provides an analysis of the main development challenges facing
the Caribbean region within the context of the Post 2015 agenda and human rights
commitments, the outcome of the third International Conference on Small Island Developing
states (The Samoa Pathway) and SDGs. The CMCA will provide a foundation for the region to
identify its strategic priorities and goals underpinned by national analysis and consultative
processes. The proposed SDGs and targets, as well as other internationally agreed goals,
conventions and treaty obligations provide a framework for national planning and strategies.
In this regard, the development of the CMCA is in the preliminary stages of identifying priority
areas. Social Inclusion and Equality, Health and Well-being and Food and Nutrition Security
under the social thematic area, and sustainable agriculture under the Environmental thematic
area are those most relevant to FAO’s support to The Bahamas. Each of these aligns closely
with the priority areas identified for the CPF and therefore provide opportunities for synergies
and joint programming with other UN agencies.
6. For each of the priority areas, the FAO’s support will focus on the following:
a. Food and Nutrition Security and Safety – covers a range of issues which include
support to improve productivity and production practices by supporting agriculture data
management, addressing post-harvest management and review of supporting
agricultural policies. To improve food safety systems, food waste management and
promotion of safe food environments will be targeted. The implementation of the
National Food and Nutrition Security Policy will also form part of this thematic area
with emphasis on supporting the national school feeding programme and addressing
under and over-nutrition in the country. For this particular area, special emphasis will
be placed on implementing a gender focused approach to ensuring the women and other
groups who may have been traditionally marginalized, are included in all aspects of
review, planning, implementation and planning.
b. Climate Change and Sustainable Resource Management – importantly, the work in
this area will focus on supporting a Climate Smart agriculture approach for sustainable
production including selection of crop and livestock germplasm that are adaptable to
climate change, and ecosystem management. Also to be supported are development
and implementation of natural resource management practices that foster employment
opportunities for communities and improving the use of energy conservation practices.

United Nations Development Assistance Framework
5c. Poverty Elimination - under this priority, FAO support will focus on developing
sustainable livelihood programmes focusing on pro-poor initiatives. This is expected
to include skills training for decent employment, entrepreneurial programmes and
community and farmers’ gardens and markets. Community gardens refer to farm zones
where land, infrastructure and services will be provided to families who will operate
individual plots. Market support will also be provided.
IV. Implementation, monitoring and reporting arrangements
7. The total resource requirement for the CPF is USD 2 180 000. With an anticipated TCP
allocation of USD 100 000 per biennium, a total of USD 200 000 will indicatively be available
as new TCP support during the period of the CPF. Existing TCP support will provide an
additional amount of approximately 180 000 to support the ongoing project to improve
fisheries and aquaculture governance. Therefore a balance of USD 1 800 000 will need to be
mobilized from other sources. In that regard, the new TCP allocation will need to be used a in
strategic and catalytic manner to leverage other resources. It will be important for the
Government and FAO to work closely to identify potential opportunities for resource
mobilization. This may include development of a Unilateral Trust Fund project for at least one
area of work. Tri-partite arrangements in which FAO provides technical expert assistance for
ongoing projects in the country with donor partners are also a consideration. At the same time,
the mobilization of resources for the CPF will be supported by the FAO sub-regional and
regional offices through participation in regional mechanisms (e.g. CARICOM, CAHFSA) and
projects and South-South Cooperation. Other potential sources of mobilization which should
be explored can include the CELAC FNS initiative (south-south cooperation). It is important
to note that FAO can be an implementing partner for GEF in The Bahamas. As such, the
Ministry of Environment and Housing and The Bahamas Environment, Science and
Technology Commission (as GEF political and operational focal points respectively) are key
partner to engage in resource mobilization. A Resource Mobilization Strategy will be
developed to facilitate a systematic approach.
Beyond funding mobilization, FAO can also support the country development agenda in the
role of a neutral entity which can broker partnerships, bringing together several actors (civil
society, private sector, public sector, and academia) to dialogue and develop strategic
partnerships. This can facilitate improved governance and public policy that supports the
achievement of national development goals.
8. The CPF will be pursued through partnerships as broad as possible, in alignment with the joint
efforts of the Government of The Bahamas and with development partners for enhanced
coordination and aid effectiveness. The Government of The Bahamas and FAO look forward
to seeking collaboration and support from all concerned partners for the successful
implementation of the CPF.
9. The Ministry of Agriculture, Marine Resources and Local Government will lead the
implementation and monitoring of the CPF on behalf of the Government and in joint
collaboration with FAO. In addition, The Bahamas Committee on FAO Matters6 will provide
support for the monitoring and the coordination of necessary inter-ministerial actions in
furtherance of the CPF. Other key ministries and their agencies will participate in
implementation committees specific to the thematic area.
A yearly review of the CFP progress will be undertaken during an accountability meeting which
will be jointly chaired by the FAO Representative and the Permanent Secretary of the Ministry

6of Agriculture, Marine Resources and Local Government. The progress of the CPF will be
measured against the CPF Results Matrix (Annex I). Revisions and adjustments as well as
support to promote the achievement of the CPF will be discussed in this forum.
10. Major changes in country circumstances can be addressed by a CPF revision as and when
needed.
This document represents the commitment of the FAO, subject to the availability of funding, to assist
The Bahamas in addressing its development agenda. The CPF is co-owned and implemented by the
Government of The Bahamas, principally through its Ministry of Agriculture, Marine Resources and
Local Government and the FAO.
The Government of The Bahamas fully embraces the CPF 2016-2019, and through signature of the CPF
document, declares its commitment to effective collaboration and further invites support from all
stakeholders to ensure successful implementation of the Country Programming Framework.

11IV.1.2 Annex 2: UN-system linkage
The decision has been taken to formulate a United Nations Multi-Country Sustainable
Development Framework (UNMSDF) for the Region. For the purpose of this framework the
region is defined as the fourteen members of the Caribbean Community excluding Haiti, who
are members of the United Nations13. The United Nations Multi Country Sustainable
Development Framework (UNMSDF) as the collective and integrated response of the United
Nations system in the Caribbean. It seeks to strengthen regional and national capacity for the
implementation and monitoring of the SDGs. Also, it supports the governments in developing
appropriate mechanisms for tapping into the contributions of other actors in delivering shared
national sustainable development priorities.
The Common Multi-Country Assessment (CMCA) will be implemented to provide the basis
for policy dialogue and design of UNMSDF and will analyze the main development challenges
facing the Caribbean region within the context of the Post 2015 agenda and human rights
commitments, the outcome of the third International Conference on Small Island Developing
states (The Samoa Pathway) and Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs). The CMCA will
provide a foundation for the region to identify its strategic priorities and goals underpinned by
national analysis and consultative processes. The proposed SDGs and targets, as well as other
internationally agreed goals, conventions and treaty obligations provide a framework for
national planning and strategies.
The regional approach through the UNMSDF is expected to lighten the burden on national
governments and prompt a more coherent response to regional and national challenges, needs
and priorities. This approach is expected to lead to better strategic positioning to leverage
regional resources, and serve as a resource mobilization framework while strengthening
capacity to support implementation and monitoring. It will also increase UN integration,
coordination and coherence.
At the time of the development of this CPF, the CMCA is in the preliminary stages of drafting
priorities and undertaking national stakeholder consultations to determine both regional and
national priorities. The indicative priority areas which have been identified have strong
alignment to the Sustainable Development Goals. They are as follows:
1. Economic
o Lagging Economic Growth
o Debt
o External Financing
o Infrastructure
o Labour Markets, Demographic Shifts and Decent Work
o Competitiveness, Science and Technology and Innovation
2. Social
o Poverty and inequality
o Social inclusion and equality
