In the English-speaking Caribbean, Oxfam's focus is on sustainable livelihoods, and helping people have a say in the decisions which affect their lives.

Many small Caribbean islands are dependent on the banana industry. This leaves them dangerously vulnerable to climate changes and international economic developments.
