Covid-19 in the Caribbean
Civil society is rebuilding resilience in coronavirus-stricken Caribbean
Caribbean nations need to begin contemplating what their development trajectory with the coronavirus looks like. It is well known that the poor suffer the most in times of disaster due to fewer — if any — safety nets. Women and children are also more at risk — especially in developing countries, since they comprise a larger proportion of those living in poverty. Building multidimensional resilience should be a priority at this time.
