Projects promoting resilience to droughts, floods and hurricanes will be funded up to USD$250,000 and a small preparation grant of maximum USD$5, 000 will be granted to successful applicants to develop a full proposal.

The grant targets the strengthening of existing communal and public building structures and could include activities related to: Water Management Use and Efficiency: Water Efficient Applications,
Climate Smart Buildings- Sustainable Building Practices and Facilities for Extreme Climatic Events
and Flood Control and Structural Adjustments that increase climate change resilience, such as
roof reinforcement and strengthening of windows and doors.

    The minister for the Environment of all persons seems to be exemplary by not wearing a mask in such proximity to the other minister i.e inadequately social distancing.

    Do these people understand the nature of the COVID 19 crisis? The fact that you are vaccinated does not prevent you from infection and infecting. Do we want to control this thing or not? Or is it because you are a minister you can do what the hell you please? The Prime Minister demonstrated the same level of recklessness when addressing the truckers some time ago. (pictured in DNO article). Do we expect the less intelligent in the population to do otherwise?

      No, these people do not understand the nature of this crisis. Furthermore, these same makers of rules and laws are the first ones to break them. Their attitude is a simple but very disturbing one: NO RULES, LAWS OR CONSTITUTION… Remember the main rule breaker saying that? In other words, these guys regard themselves above the law. It’s disgusting but Most Dominicans like it so!
