Objectives of the Project<\/span><\/h1>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_column_text]General Objective<\/strong><\/p>\n

The general objective of the Project is the development of institutional capacity across the participating countries by supporting the development of a statistical framework to measure poverty and other vulnerability dimensions through collaborative work.<\/p>\n

Specific Objectives<\/strong><\/p>\n

The specific objectives are to develop: (i) a harmonized data collection instrument for measuring vulnerability in CARICOM in the economic, social and environmental dimensions of sustainable development; (ii) regional knowledge products and methodological guidelines for administering the harmonized instrument; and (iii) training modules for administering multipurpose surveys for measuring vulnerability.[\/vc_column_text][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][vc_single_image image=”5044″ img_size=”medium” alignment=”right”][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column width=”2\/3″][\/vc_column][vc_column width=”1\/3″][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row][vc_column][vc_separator][\/vc_column][\/vc_row][vc_row equal_height=”yes”][vc_column width=”2\/3″][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

Expected Results<\/strong><\/span><\/h2>\n

[\/vc_column_text][vc_separator][vc_column_text]<\/p>\n

COMPONENT 1- Harmonised Data Collection Instrument<\/span><\/p>\n

Development and implementation by Member States of harmonised survey instruments to measure and assess vulnerability. This would include harmonised questionnaire in CAPI (Computer Assisted Personal Interviewing) form, interviewers\u2019 manual and tabulation plan.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

COMPONENT 2- Regional Knowledge Products and Methodological Guidelines<\/span><\/p>\n

Development of the data infrastructure and technical capacity to implement the harmonised instrument on a continuous and consistent basis. This would include manual, methodological guidelines, fact sheets and reports.<\/span><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

COMPONENT 3- Training Modules\/Workshops<\/span><\/p>\n

Improved capacity of CARICOM Member States in measuring and assessing vulnerability and poverty, their multidimensional characteristics and intersectionality with other social, economic and environmental conditions. This would include <\/span>digitised<\/span> training material<\/span><\/p>\n
