After facing successive crises and shocks in the last few years, people in the Caribbean are still feeling the impacts on their purchasing power, while coping with the underlying threat of natural hazards in the region. CARICOM launched the Caribbean Food Security and Livelihoods Survey to gather data on people’s livelihoods, access to markets and food security, and provide snapshots of these impacts over time. The survey aims to inform analysis and decision-making of governments and development partners in the region, building on the data collected in the previous five rounds highlighting the impact of COVID-19, the cost of living crisis and the effect of natural hazards on food security and livelihoods. This report analyses data from the sixth round of data collection, which took place from 10 to 28 May 2023. It compares findings with previous survey rounds conducted between April 2020 and August 2022. Implemented by the World Food Programme, the online survey was circulated via social media, media outlets, SMS and emails. While the survey contributes to a better overview of current state of food security and livelihoods, the data is not representative, and the use of an online questionnaire limits inputs from people without internet connectivity.
