The Bar­ba­dos-based Caribbean De­vel­op­ment Bank (CDB), says it has of­fi­cial­ly joined the Glob­al Al­liance Against Hunger and Pover­ty in a move to com­bat hunger and pover­ty glob­al­ly.

CDB said that this aligns with its mis­sion to fos­ter sus­tain­able de­vel­op­ment and im­prove the lives of peo­ple in the Caribbean by work­ing col­lec­tive­ly and col­lab­o­ra­tive­ly with in­ter­na­tion­al part­ners.

It said that the for­mal com­mit­ment to the Glob­al Al­liance was out­lined in its State­ments of Com­mit­ment, demon­strat­ing its ded­i­ca­tion to ad­dress­ing struc­tur­al pover­ty and in­equal­i­ty as part of the broad­er ini­tia­tives con­nect­ed to the 2030 Agen­da for Sus­tain­able De­vel­op­ment.
