The Caribbean is set to receive some US$22 million from the US to bolster regional development.
The US embassy in Georgetown yesterday announced in a release that its government, through the United States Agency for International Development (USAID), will be handing over an additional US$22.8 million in new funding for 2022 to support Caribbean regional development goals related to climate resilience, youth security, information and communication technology, private sector engagement and health.
This funding, the release informed, also includes US$10 million to combat food insecurity in the Caribbean to support priority areas identified by CARICOM under President Biden’s Caribbean Zero Hunger Plan.
