The hurricane recovery grant programme is part of a comprehensive, multi-dimensional hurricane recovery and disaster preparedness project funded by the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) and coordinated through its country office in Kingston, Jamaica in partnership with the Government and people of TCI.

“One component put money in the hands of those who needed it most by providing cash for work on a debris removal programme, and grants to MSME that create employment in the islands – to help them recover and get back on their feet.” explains Bruno Pouezat, UNDP Resident Representative to Jamaica, Bermuda, The Bahamas, Cayman Islands and Turks and Caicos Islands.

In parallel, he outlined, UNDP also helped the TCI Government organize itself to prepare better for future hurricanes by: Supporting a social and economic impact analysis of hurricanes; a debris and waste management plan; and capacity building for government and MSME in minimizing disaster risk and quicker recovery for the future. A last component is designed to “help build the financial capacity of the government to cope with disaster by developing innovative financial products that will make to easier to support reconstruction and recovery in the future,” he explained.
