Following an effusive eruption at the La
Soufriere volcano, first detected in December 2020, this project aims to
support the government of Saint Vincent & the Grenadines in its efforts to
respond to the volcanic eruption. It also aims to focus on enhancing emergency
preparedness in the country by improving the operational frameworks for DRM and
climate resilience. Specifically, the project focuses on strengthening the
operational framework for school infrastructure resilience in order to allow
for education continuity in light of the volcanic eruption and the COVID-19
crisis.
