During a visit to Grenada, the UK Minister for Latin America and Caribbean, Baroness Chapman, visited the Concord water intake, treatment and storage facilities to see and discuss some of the challenges of implementing the \u00a317m UKCIF grant to overhaul the water and sewerage network for the southern half of the island, administered through the Caribbean Development Bank and NAWASA.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

It is estimated that 111,000 residents (95% of Grenada\u2019s population) will benefit from the project. Project benefits include increased efficiency and climate resilience of the water sector and enhanced access to safe drinking water and sanitation.\u00a0\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Baroness Chapman also met with the NAWASA Chairman, Philip Alexander, and CEO, Terrence Smith, to discuss the US$2.2m payout to NAWASA under a new parametric insurance product launched with the UK as principal donor (US$25m) \u2013 the Caribbean Water Utility Insurance Collective (CWUIC), with Grenada\u2019s premiums also subsidised by the UK.\u00a0 This payout has helped NAWASA respond to the damage caused by Beryl across Carriacou, Petite Martinique and Grenada, while also contributing towards building up future resilient water infrastructure.\u00a0\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

This forms part of the broader record CCRIF (Caribbean Catastrophe Risk Insurance Facility) US$55.6m payout that Grenada were awarded after Hurricane Beryl.\u00a0 Prior to Beryl and since its inception in 2007 (as a direct result of Hurricane Ivan which devastated Grenada in 2004) CCRIF had made 65 payouts totalling US$274 million to 17 members.\u00a0\u00a0 The UK is a founding contributor of CCRIF, and applauds Grenada for its investment, foresight and leadership within the region on parametric insurance.<\/span><\/p>\n

UK Minister for the Caribbean, Baroness Chapman, said:\u00a0<\/b>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

\u201cThe UK is committed to supporting Grenada\u2019s efforts to enhance its water infrastructure and increase its resilience to climate change.\u00a0<\/i><\/p>\n

I was pleased to visit the Concord Water Treatment Plant to see how the UK\u2019s support will help deliver a cleaner and more reliable water supply, ensuring lasting benefits for communities across the southern region of the country\u201d.<\/i><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
