Speaking during the 2026 Budget Debate, Greene said the UN agencies now based in Antigua and Barbuda are the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), UNESCO, UN Women, the Pan American Health Organization (PAHO) and the United Nations Resident Coordinator’s Office (UNRCO).
Greene described the presence of the agencies as a significant development for the country, noting that their operations support national and regional work in areas such as development, health, gender equality and education.
He told lawmakers that the government intends to build on that footprint and has already issued directives to the UN Resident Coordinator, Andrea Andrews, to pursue the establishment of additional UN agencies in Antigua and Barbuda.
“I have given instructions to the Resident Coordinator to attract more UN agencies to Antigua and Barbuda,” Greene said.
The minister said expanding the UN presence would further strengthen Antigua and Barbuda’s international profile and deepen its role as a regional hub for multilateral engagement.
