Belize is exceptionally vulnerable to natural hazards, climate change and economic shocks. For these reasons, planning and engaging with development partners on gender-informed, climate-resilient preparedness, recovery, and public financial management practices have been central to Belizean policy making. In this respect, as part of the country's emergency response to the COVID-19 pandemic, the Canada Caribbean Resilience Facility (CRF) has helped the Government of Belize to advance the design and implementation of several important initiatives including the World Bank's Contingent Emergency Response Component (CERC) financing instrument, as well as an emergency cash transfer program that is expected to benefit more than 13,000 households.
