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.
