“Resilient infrastructure is a strategic imperative for the Caribbean. We have seen in recent times where climate, health and economic challenges have disrupted crucial services, and hindered economic progress across the region.
Now more than ever, it has becoming increasingly crucial for governments and regulators to tackle tough questions about the unique challenges we face in the Caribbean that affects the prioritization of sustainable infrastructural projects that can safeguard public health, ensure uninterrupted services, and foster sustainable economic growth,” he said.
