Dominica Community Resilience Enhancement Project (DOMCREP) Dominica

The Dominica Community Resilience Enhancement Project (DOMCREP) is a 60-month initiative requesting USD 24.53 million in grants from the Green Climate Fund (GCF) to enhance climate resilience in Dominica. The project focuses on eight highly vulnerable communities, targeting improvements in climate-smart agriculture, the upgrading of national and community-level Early Warning Systems (EWS), and the retrofitting of multi-purpose emergency shelters with independent solar power and water storage. Key components include a matching grant mechanism for farmers to adopt resilient technologies, the development of a climate resilience knowledge hub, and the updating of national policies to integrate resilience principles. The project is executed jointly by the Caribbean Community Climate Change Centre (CCCCC) and the Government of Dominica's Ministry of Finance, Economic Development, Climate Resilience, and Social Security.

• The project targets eight of the most vulnerable communities on the east, west, and south coasts of Dominica, specifically Campbell, Coulibistrie, Colihaut, San Sauveur, Good Hope, Petite Soufriere, Bagatelle, and Pichelin.
• Dominica faces extreme climate vulnerability, with Tropical Storm Erika in 2015 causing losses equivalent to 90% of GDP and Hurricane Maria in 2017 causing losses equivalent to 226% of GDP.
• DOMCREP will upgrade the national Early Warning System (EWS) by developing a National Framework for MHEWS, a national app, and installing eight additional automatic weather stations and a mobile water level meter.
• Four community multi-purpose emergency shelters—Tete Morne Resource Centre, Bellevue Chopin Primary School, Bagatelle Primary School and Preschool, and Pierre Charles Secondary School—will be retrofitted with independent solar PV systems and water storage.
• The project aims to strengthen the enabling environment by updating three prioritized policies or regulations to incorporate climate resilience principles and designing a climate-responsive insurance mechanism for smallholder farmers.
• A climate resilience knowledge hub will be established to digitize training modules and share traditional knowledge, supported by a gender-responsive public awareness campaign.
• The project expects to directly benefit 8,362 people (11% of the population) and indirectly benefit 64,678 people (89% of the population).
• The total investment for the project is USD 26,029,839.43, with USD 24,526,669.00 requested as a grant from the GCF and the remainder provided as co-financing by the Government of Dominica.
• The project includes mitigation co-benefits, expecting to sequester approximately 352.07 tonnes of carbon per year through agroforestry and add 21 kW of renewable energy capacity via solar PV systems at shelters.
