Grant Description

In 2018, the People's Republic of China has pledged an estimated US$15 million to support the construction of new climate-smart schools in Dominica.

The schools targeted are as follows: Tete Morne Primary, Bellevue Chopin, Soufriere, Castle Bruce primary, Thibaud, Calibishiem Goodwill Secondary Schools. Those schools were either completely destroyed or significantly damaged by Hurricane Maria in September 2017.

This project was potentially funded through either the funds granted in November 2017 (see Record ID#72673) or in October 2018 (see Record ID#55922).
