ROSEAU, Dominica – The Ministry of Agriculture, Fisheries, Blue and Green Economy is pleased to announce the continued implementation of the Emergency Agricultural Livelihoods & Climate Resilience Project (EALCRP) — a landmark initiative aimed at restoring agricultural livelihoods and building climate resilience for farmers and fisherfolk affected by Hurricane Maria.
Funded by the World Bank with a budget of US$25 million, the EALCRP is a vital part of Dominica’s long-term strategy for recovery and sustainability in agriculture. The project supports the National Agricultural Policy and Action Plan 2016–2025, and is structured around four key pillars:
- Restoration of Agricultural Livelihoods
- Infrastructure and Institutional Strengthening
- Enhancing Climate Resilience
- Effective Project Management and Coordination
In keeping with these goals, the Government of Dominica will award several major contracts on Friday, May 16, 2025 10.00a.m, at the State House Conference Room, to firms and individuals undertaking critical restoration and construction projects across the island.
