Healthy Caribbean Coalition -
The OECS Secretariat SSDD Capsule Newsletter
The OECS Secretariat is poised to provide support to Member
States on Climate Change Adaptation. Discussions between
the USAID and the Secretariat have resulted in the drafting of
an Agreement between the two agencies that would set the
stage for the implementation of a five-year OECS Climate
Change project. USAID has indicated support to the tune of
US $ 2.5 million in the first year and US $ 2.0 million in each
of the following four years, contingent on continuing approval
of the United States Congress.
Drawing from regional and national climate change plans and
building on preliminary discussions between the Secretariat,
Barbados’ Coastal Zone Management Unit and USAID,
stakeholder meetings were convened to ensure that the project
addresses high priority vulnerabilities in sectors key to the
region’s development and economic growth. These meetings
engaged individuals from national governments, nongovernmental
organizations, the private sector, and donor
agencies.
