It represents a response to a formal request that was received by UNDP on the 25th of May 2021 from the Government of St. Vincent and the Grenadines for technical support in conducting a PDNA. It is anticipated that the findings of the PDNA and the specific strategic interventions proposed therein will be utilized as the main blueprint for developing a detailed recovery programme for the country as well as an instrument for facilitating access to technical and financial resources for the reconstruction and rehabilitation efforts over the short, medium to long term.
