In addition, Dominica has received loans on a substantial scale from the Caribbean Development Bank, to which the British Government contribute. More recently Dominica has also been allocated funds from the European Development Fund, to which the United Kingdom also contributes.

The declining amounts of capital aid provided bilaterally reflect the difficulty of finding projects acceptable to the Government of Dominica which fall within our aid criteria for the Associated States. These are, wherever possible, to finance directly productive projects so as to help the States on to a sounder financial and economic base, and to assist the poorer sections of the population, mainly by helping the States to develop social, educational and health services which they can sustain from their own resources.

Infrastructure projects of the kind formerly financed from our bilateral aid are now increasingly financed by the Caribbean Development Bank.
