Hurricane reconstruction

The project will have three components: (1) to fund TA, commodities and equipment to restore infrastructure (including power and communications systems, water systems, schools, homes, and courthouses); (2) to rehabilitate the agricultural and small enterprise sectors by providing production credit and TA to farmers (focusing on the banana and poultry subsectors) and establishing a lending program for small- and micro-entrepreneurs; and (3) to provide targeted relief to the poor through a grant to the Council of Voluntary Social Services/United Way of Jamaica and through a program of small grants for informal, uninsured enterprises destroyed or damaged by the hurricane.
