The SDG Fund supports collaboration amongst UN agencies and other development partners promoting a whole-of-government approach to social protection to reach those left behind across many SDGs. The Joint Programme, which is supported by the UN Resident Coordinator's Office for Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean, focuses on three SDGs: poverty reduction, gender equality and climate action. Its main objective is to strengthen people's resilience through predictable access to adaptive and universal social protection in Barbados and Saint Lucia, as well as in the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) countries.

The programme "Universal Adaptive Social Protection to Enhance Resilience and Acceleration of the Sustainable Development Goals in the Eastern Caribbean" is a joint initiative being implemented by the United Nations (UN) in the Eastern Caribbean. The United Nations Children's Fund (UNICEF), the World Food Programme (WFP), the International Labour Organisation (ILO), the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and The United Nations Entity for Gender Equality and the Empowerment of Women (UN Women) joined forces to expand social protection towards universal access for people and make it more adaptive to ensure they have the means to prepare before crises, and cope during and after them. As part of this programme, the UNDP Office in Barbados and the Eastern Caribbean undertook a Gender-Sensitive Budgeting Assessment for Needs-Based Adaptive Social Protection in Saint Lucia, as a way of supporting Saint Lucia to develop an adaptive social protection system.
