Recovery in the Caribbean

Six months after two of the most powerful hurricanes recorded over the Atlantic wreaked havoc in the Caribbean, women and men are working around the clock to build back better, with another hurricane season months away. In the immediate hurricane aftermath, governments requested the UN Development Programme (UNDP)’s technical support to recover while boosting climate resilience.

UNDP has mobilized nearly US$22 million to build back better in the Caribbean following the back-to-back hurricanes in September 2017, and in the past decade invested nearly US$300 million in disaster preparedness in Latin America and the Caribbean, working with governments at the national and local levels, as well as communities.
