UK Department for International Development (DfID)
Climate Change & Disaster Risk Reduction Specialist - worked with the Disaster Risk Reduction Centre at the University of the West Indies to assess the implementation process and outcomes of Phase II of the SMART (safer and greener) Health Facilities in the Caribbean Project.
The objective of the SMART Health Facilities in the Caribbean Project (Phase II) is to increase health facilities’ level of protection from disasters and climate change. The beneficiary countries are Belize, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Jamaica, Saint Lucia and Saint Vincent and the Grenadines. The project sets out to reduce the climate change and disaster-related risks that threaten the functioning of health facilities by supporting governments of the most vulnerable countries in the Caribbean to assess and prioritize vulnerability reducing strategies for their health facilities. Addressing safety issues and introducing “greening” measures is a “SMART” approach to ensuring that health facilities are able to deliver health care services, in spite of disaster and climate change hazards and other service disruption that may arise.
