This ISLANDS programme covers four (4) geographical regions including the Caribbean, Indian Ocean, Pacific Islands, and Atlantic Ocean Islands
The Caribbean projects under the GEF ISLANDS Programme are implemented by the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP), The Food and Agriculture Organisation of the United Nations (FAO) and the Inter-American Development Bank (IDB).
