According to Project Manager of the Dominica Agricultural Livelihoods Climate Resilience Project (DEALCRP), Kervin Stephenson, the project will assist about 300 livestock farmers in building resilient shelters for their animals.
He said, “So far we have done field evaluation for over 70 fields.
Right now, we have an engineer onboard; we just got approval from the Planning Division because…we’re talking about incorporating resilient features in those livestock structures.”
The project manager said that contracts should be signed before the peak of the hurricane season.
