About
from FIRST SUBSTANTIVE REPORT UNTFHS PROJECT: RESTORING LIVELIHOODS IN GRENADA AFTER HURRICANES IVAN AND EMILY
SECTION II: PURPOSE 2.0 INTRODUCTION Grenada is a tri-island state in the Eastern Caribbean with a population of 102,000, of which 9,000 live on the out-islands of Carriacou and Petite Martinique. On 7 September 2004, Hurricane Ivan devastated Grenada, inflicting severe damage in the social and economic sectors, and to its environmental health. In its aftermath, 90% of the country’s 31,122 houses were damaged or destroyed, leaving over 30,000 people or one-third of the population, homeless or living in desperate circumstances. The private sector suffered enormous losses of buildings, equipment and stock; and agriculture and tourism, the main earners of foreign exchange, were brought to a halt. There was also unimaginable damage to public infrastructure and to the institutions and systems of governance; and widespread loss of livelihoods. The island was further devastated by another hurricane 10 months later.
2.1 PROJECT OBJECTIVES In response to the devastation caused by these 2 Hurricanes (Ivan and Emily during 2004-2005), this project seeks to mitigate the social impacts of the disaster by providing concrete and sustainable benefits to people and communities threatened in their survival, livelihood, and dignity. The overall aim is to restore livelihood options for those groups and individuals most affected by the passage of the two hurricanes.
