The Issue: Relief, Recovery, Reconstruction
Hurricane Beryl’s devastation of the Southern Grenadines and its destruction elsewhere in SVG on July 1, 2024, have occasioned the immediate rolling out of relief for affected persons and the early beginnings of the process of recovery and reconstruction.
Over the current phase of our country’s life, living and production, the focus is on the Three Rs: Relief, Recovery, Reconstruction, in tandem with our ongoing programme of sustainable development in every material particular.
The quest is to turn the terrible setbacks caused by Beryl into a sustained advance in the interest of our people’s humanization. So, let us map, summarily, what has been done in the first days, so far, what is now being done, and what is planned to be done by our government in full communion with our people, in exemplary solidarity, supported by the efforts of our diaspora and our friends (governments and organisations) overseas.
