Bridgetown—The Caribbean Development Bank (CDB) and the Caribbean Catastrophe Risk Insurance Facility (CCRIF) recently hosted a strategic donor meeting at the offices of the CDB in Barbados to discuss ways to support CCRIF’s new excess rainfall product and to coordinate with donors’ disaster risk management initiatives in the region.
In his opening remarks, CDB president Dr Warren Smith said the bank was pleased to facilitate the discussion which will increase co-operation among CCRIF, donors and regional organisations “in enhancing the disaster risk management capacity of the region as a whole and co-ordinating our efforts in keeping with the Paris Declaration on Aid Effectiveness.”
