IOM is now implementing a new project to undertake repairs of 12 emergency shelters with funding from USAID from the American People. This project, to improve emergency preparedness through emergency shelter, also includes a survey to determine the number and status of people still living in emergency shelters. The survey has found close to 300 people still living in 25 shelters across the island.
HAM radios will also be procured and training provided in collaboration with the Dominica Amateur Radio Club Inc. (DARCI). Training will be provided to shelter managers and other community members interested in learning about shelter management principles, and to make the communities more prepared for potential emergencies.
IOM in coordination with the Youth Development Division, Dominica Youth Business Trust (DYBT) and the Ministry of Commerce Small Business and Enterprise Development has received funding from the IOM Development Fund to establish a small-scale business development/support centre in the city of Roseau.
The main objective of the program is to build the capacity of the government, through the DYBT, to provide training and financial support to young entrepreneurs, setting the foundation for increased business success, job creation, and reduced outward migration.
At the request of the Government of Dominica and the Caribbean Development Bank, IOM Dominica will conduct a 2-month research to determine the number of people, and particularly children, who migrated out of Dominica after Hurricane Maria.

It is a long established fact that a reader will be distracted by the readable content of a page when looking at its layout. The point of using Lorem Ipsum is that it has a more-or-less normal distribution of letters, as opposed to using ‘Content here, content here’, making it look like readable English. Many desktop publishing packages and web page editors now use Lorem Ipsum as their default model text, and a search for ‘lorem ipsum’ will uncover many web sites still in their infancy.
