UWP CALLS FOR JOINT DONORS CONFERENCE
 |
| UWP Political Leader Allen Chastanet |
CASTRIES, Saint Lucia – Monday, January 6, 2014 – The Political Leader of the United Workers Party, Mr. Allen Chastanet has called on the Governments of the three islands which suffered extensive damage as a result of the Christmas Eve (December 24th) trough weather system, Saint Lucia, Saint Vincent and the Grenadines and Dominica, to convene a joint Donors Conference in order to mobilize support Regionally and Internationally for the re-construction effort in the three countries. Mr. Chastanet expressed the view that the Prime Minister of Saint Lucia should take the initiative in piloting moves for such a conference which could be coordinated by the Saint Lucia based OECS Secretariat.
The Political Leader said that the damage arising from the recent weather system, underscored the vulnerability of the region as a whole to natural disasters which result in widespread economic and social dislocation. He further added that the aftermath of the disaster provided an opportunity for a collaborative effort in, not only reconstruction, but in finding solutions to the common problems that we face and in the interest of the long term sustainability of these islands. He noted that the countries are all part of an OECS Economic Union, and that even before the disaster, they faced serious social and economic challenges which have been compounded by the extensive damage to infrastructure and private property across the islands. He particularly lamented the loss of life for which he once again extended condolences to all those affected.
