The Government of New\u00a0Zealand has announced that it is contributing NZ$250,000 to the immediate relief efforts for Caribbean countries affected by Hurricanes Irma and Maria.<\/p>

\"\"<\/div>\n

The funding will be disbursed through the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) to support governments in early recovery activities such as debris management and rehabilitation of basic services such as water and electricity.<\/p>\n

\u201cNew\u00a0Zealand and the Caribbean have longstanding links which have been deepened by the opening of our mission in the region in 2014. I have spent time in both Antigua and Barbuda and Dominica, getting to know the countries and the people, and it is heartbreaking to see the damage done by Hurricanes Irma and Maria\u201d, said New\u00a0Zealand High Commissioner Jan Henderson.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>
\"\"<\/div>\n

\u201cI am pleased that New\u00a0Zealand is able to assist the Caribbean in what will be the difficult task of rebuilding lives and societies. I am however absolutely convinced that Barbuda and Dominica will build back better with the resilience and sense of community that embodies the Caribbean\u201d.<\/p>

\"\"<\/a><\/div>\n

New\u00a0Zealand remains committed to continuing long term support in the agriculture sector in Antigua and Barbuda, and to the geothermal development project in Dominica when recovery efforts move to economic revitalisation.<\/p>\n

The New Zealand High Commission serves Barbados, the Eastern Caribbean, Guyana and Trinidad and Tobago.<\/p>
