At the Caribbean Basin Development Bank (CBDB), our mission is to drive sustainable economic growth and resilience in the Caribbean Basin. Recognizing the unique challenges and opportunities in this region, CBDB is committed to fostering development that is not only economically viable but also environmentally responsible and socially inclusive.

Vision

“A Flourishing Caribbean Basin Anchored in Innovation, Unity, and Prosperity”

Our vision is a Caribbean Basin that thrives on innovation, unity, and shared prosperity. We envision a future where the nations and communities of the Caribbean Basin collaborate in harnessing their collective potential, leading to a region that is vibrant, diverse, and forward-looking.

Alignment with the Wealth Ecology Model

“Integrating Energy, Technology, Community, and Education for Holistic Development”

CBDB’s ethos and strategy are deeply rooted in the Wealth Ecology Model, as devised by Dr. Oliver E. Jones. This model represents a paradigm shift in how we perceive and achieve wealth, emphasizing the interdependence of various elements:

  1. Energy: Prioritizing sustainable and renewable energy sources to power the region’s growth while preserving its natural beauty and resources.
  2. Technology: Leveraging cutting-edge technology to foster innovation, improve efficiencies, and bridge digital divides, thereby elevating the region’s competitive stance on a global scale.
  3. Community: Building strong, interconnected communities that are engaged, resilient, and capable of driving their own socio-economic progress. This includes ensuring equitable access to resources and opportunities for all, regardless of socio-economic background.
  4. Education: Investing in education and skill development as the cornerstone for long-term prosperity. By nurturing a knowledgeable and adaptable workforce, the Caribbean Basin can better meet the challenges of the 21st century and beyond.

At CBDB, we believe that integrating these pillars of the Wealth Ecology Model is key to building a sustainable, prosperous future for the Caribbean Basin. Our approach is collaborative, inclusive, and innovative, seeking to empower nations and communities to achieve their fullest potential while respecting and preserving the unique cultural and environmental heritage of the region.
