These schools were severely impacted by Hurricane Maria in September 2017. Project activities include: (1) designing, equipping and servicing the five elementary schools to incorporate climate resiliency, school safety and the gender specific needs of school girls and women teachers and school staff; and (2) helping the capacity of the Government of Dominica to respond to climatic events by providing climate risk insurance coverage through the Caribbean Catastrophe Risk Insurance Facility (CCRIF).
