CARICOM participating in launch of Action Network for Post-Disaster Recovery
Dominica’s Prime Minister Roosevelt Skerrit and CARICOM Secretary-General Ambassador Irwin LaRocque are among high profile participants at the formal launch of the Clinton Global Initiative Action Network on Post-Disaster Recovery, at the University of Miami, Tuesday.
The Action Network, being spearheaded by former US President Bill Clinton, has brought together leaders from government, business and civil society to develop solutions to meet the immediate and long term hurricane recovery needs facing the region. It was formed at the invitation of the governments of some of the islands devastated by hurricanes Maria and Irma last year Dominica, Antigua and Barbuda, the US Virgin Islands and Puerto Rico.
“At the meeting, stakeholders will work towards Commitments to Action – new, specific and measurable projects to address critical issues such as health care, housing, clean energy, education, small business support, mental health, and climate resiliency to assist the immediate needs as well as the long term recovery in the Region,” the organisers announced.
