Present in 170 countries, UNDP aims to end poverty and inequality while building crisis resilience

Present in 170 countries, UNDP is on a mission to end poverty, inequality and exclusion while building resilience to crisis.

⚠️When disasters strike, danger lurks from more than just natural forces. Violence against women, children and persons with disabilities is a very real threat too. Forced to stay at home or to flee to shelters, the most vulnerable may face unforeseen dangers from abusive persons in close quarters.

On this final day of Domestic Violence Awareness Month, we highlight advice from Mitzie Moore Cooke, Acting Research Officer of the Bureau of Gender Affairs.

Her tips for mitigating this threat must be taken seriously, and passed on, along with the toll free numbers, to everyone you know. She was addressing UNDP’s recent Recovery to Resilience Roundtable on International Day for Disaster Risk Reduction.

🏠Better equipped, Better informed to Build Back Better. Now they can build and repair their Homes to Better Withstand Hurricanes‼️ Darliston residents are smiling after their powerful Build Back better roofing clinic and demo — one of 2 — at UNDP’s Technical Assistance Centre and Community Action Fair this week. The clinics hosted by The ODPEM in partnership with HEART/NSTA Trust College of Construction Services were a hit among residents and it was standing-room-only for the fully booked classes.

Hundreds of residents converged on the Enfield Primary and Infant School to access a wide range of hurricane recovery support services including NIS, PATH, and NHF; Health checks and HIV and Syphilis tests; farmer support; and support for wills, disputes and legal aid. Giveaways of farming and home repair equipment were also a hit.

We were visited by Minister of Labour and Social Security, Hon Pearnel Charles Jnr, Leader of the Opposition Hon Mark Golding, Member of Parliament Dr Dayton Campbell and His Worship the Mayor of Savanna La Mar and Chairman of the Westmoreland Municipal Corporation, Councillor Danree Delancy.

📍UNDP is on the ground, taking resilient recovery services to the heart of impacted communities. Housing stock is a crucial part of the equation. How we rebuild, build and repair can result in more resilient houses and more resilient people. UNDP and partners are on a mission to positively influence construction practices and to facilitate access to services that will support a comprehensive and resilient recovery.
