The Caribbean is getting additional support to improve the way homes are built and reconstructed as countries across the region continue to face hurricanes, floods, landslides, earthquakes and other natural hazards.
CAF – Development Bank of Latin America and the Caribbean has approved a US$200,000 grant for the Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency (CDEMA) to implement a Regional Resilient Residential Construction and Reconstruction Project.
According to a joint CAF-CDEMA press release, the project will run for 18 months and build on CDEMA’s existing Safer Building Programme.
