CDB procured and purchased the equipment with concessional resources through the Bank\u2019s Special Development Fund.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">Speaking at the event,\u00a0President,\u00a0Dr W<sup>m.<\/sup>\u00a0Warren Smith\u00a0reiterated the Bank\u2019s commitment to helping its Borrowing Member Countries to cope with the effects of\u00a0COVID-19.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">\u201cThe coming months are likely to be particularly challenging, given the uncertainties surrounding COVID-19. Helping our Borrowing Member Countries to build resilience against shocks like COVID-19 remains high on CDB\u2019s development agenda,\u201d\u00a0stated\u00a0Dr Smith.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">In her welcome remarks,\u00a0Executive Director\u00a0(ag.) of\u00a0CDEMA,\u00a0Elizabeth Riley\u00a0shared the work the agency has done to establish the regional hub that will be used to distribute the PPE to 13 other Caribbean countries.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">\u201cTo support our Participating States, CDEMA has established an Integrated Regional Logistics Hub in Barbados, which serves as a primary repository and transhipment point for COVID-19 related relief supplies and aids the coordination of humanitarian logistics. This critical and timely support from the Caribbean Development Bank will strengthen the capacity of our Participating States in times of greatest need,\u201d\u00a0noted\u00a0Riley.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">Cooperation between key regional partners was central to being able to source and distribute the equipment in the face of the intense competition for PPE, once the global pandemic started severely affecting many countries.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">In light of such competition, CDB purchased the equipment on a pooled basis so that each beneficiary country could take advantage of economies of scale.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">At the agency level, Barbados Port Inc. (BPI) agreed to offer warehousing facilities at the Port of Bridgetown to facilitate the storage, sorting and repacking of the equipment. BPI also agreed to the waiver of associated port charges.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">In his address, Barbados\u2019\u00a0Minister of Maritime Affairs and the Blue Economy,\u00a0Hon. Kirk Humphrey, noted that recent improvements in port operations aligned with BPI\u2019s vision of becoming a regional logistics hub.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">\u201cThe Port is becoming a lot more digital\u2026 we are working with the Caribbean Development Bank on the [development of a] port community system as well as we transform the way we do business. This is a good time to make the Bridgetown Port your integrated regional logistic hub,\u201d stated\u00a0Minister Humphrey.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">Further cooperation came from the Pan American Health Organization and the Caribbean Public Health Agency, which\u00a0worked closely with national governments to identify their PPE needs and provide guidance on what goods should be supplied.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">The shipments include 35,000 protective suits, 111,000 isolation gowns, over 67,000 goggles, 250,000 protective gloves and 160,000 masks.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">CDB also partnered with Crown Agents out of the United Kingdom to secure the equipment which was sourced from providers in Germany and China.<\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\"><\/div>\n<div align=\"justify\">The PPE will go to Antigua and Barbuda, The Bahamas, Barbados, Belize, Dominica, Grenada, Guyana, Haiti, Jamaica, Saint Lucia, St. Kitts and Nevis, St. Vincent and the Grenadines, Suriname and Trinidad and Tobago.<\/div>\n<div id=\"antig-1118464480\" class=\"antig-in-comments_2 antig-entity-placement\"><a href=\"https:\/\/www.facebook.com\/@hadeedmotorsltd\" aria-label=\"Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2\"><img src=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png\" alt=\"\"  srcset=\"https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:1000\/h:250\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 1000w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:300\/h:75\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 300w, https:\/\/mlavawteztbj.i.optimole.com\/w:768\/h:192\/q:mauto\/f:best\/https:\/\/antiguanewsroom.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/12\/Hadeed_WEB_Banner_MG-2.png 768w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 696px) 100vw, 696px\" width=\"1000\" height=\"250\"   \/><\/a><\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Critically needed personal protective equipment (PPE) is on its way to medical workers on the front lines of the Caribbean\u2019s COVID-19 pandemic response.
