The Government of St. Lucia (GOSL) has secured financing under the Disaster Vulnerability Reduction
Project (DVRP) from the International Development Association and the Climate Investment Fund to
reinstate the road and to incorporate climate change adaptation measures wherever possible, with a
view towards upgrading and providing a more resilient roadway infrastructure to service the
communities. The Disaster Vulnerability Reduction Project aims to measurably reduce the Country’s
vulnerability to natural hazards and climate change impacts, and includes various activities related to
institutional strengthening and training as well as the execution of various civil works to improve the
resilience, preparedness, and response capacity of Saint Lucia to natural hazards. The proposed road
project falls under Component 1; Risk Reduction and Adaption Measures of the DVRP which includes
financing for the reconstruction and retrofitting of public infrastructure including roads. The Government
of Saint Lucia (GOSL) through the Department of Infrastructure, Ports, and Energy (DIPE) will undertake
this rehabilitation and reconstruction project spanning a 12 month construction period.
