Hurricane Ivan struck Grenada on
September 7, 2004. The international and local communities
responded with a massive reconstruction and recovery effort.
Although the job is far from finished, the reconstruction to
date is substantial. Large-scale efforts have been mounted
by Grenadian Government agencies, the private sector and
civil society in Grenada. Several bilateral and
multi-lateral agencies as well as international
nongovernmental organizations (NGOs) have provided
considerable assistance. The purpose of this report is to
provide an overview of the relief and reconstruction
programs that have taken place through the efforts of the
Grenadian authorities and outside agencies during the past
year. Overall, significant reconstruction progress has been
made as of October 2005. Recovery is on its way, but much
remains to be accomplished if the country is to return to a
stable development path. The economy, which contracted by
close to 24% in the last semester of 2004, has rebounded
thanks to the increased activity in the construction sector,
which absorbed a large share of those left unemployed in the
aftermath of the disaster. |
