Jamaica
The overall objective of this project is to strengthen the disaster risk management and preparedness capacity of the Government of Jamaica. In order to successfully achieve this objective, an inclusive and multi-stakeholder approach is key. The project is delivering an assessment report of the vulnerabilities of migrants in the context of a disaster; creating and improving relevant communication systems to assist migrants during and after crises, using a gender-sensitive approach; sensitizing the migrant community in Jamaica through a gender-sensitive communication campaign in relation to COVID-19; and developing migrant-inclusive standard operating procedures for preparedness and response to a crisis targeting public and private sector stakeholders.
