Climate & Fisheries Resilience: Dominica is among five Caribbean states set to benefit from a US$12.55M GEF-funded CC4FISH-II project launched in Dominica on Sept. 15, aiming to strengthen climate and disaster resilience for fisherfolk and coastal communities through 2030. Health Promotion (NCDs & Cancer): Nurse Priscilla Prevost urged Dominicans to improve eating habits—more fibre-rich local foods, fewer sugary drinks and simple carbs, and balanced protein choices—as non-communicable diseases and cancer concerns rise. Health Systems Planning: Dominica is developing a Centralized Health Workforce Database and Dashboard of Indicators (CHWD+) with PAHO/WHO support to improve workforce planning and pandemic preparedness. Local Wellness for Youth: DOMDA announced “Sip & Chat” for ages 16–35 on Sept. 30 in Roseau, focusing on blood sugar awareness, mental health, relationships, and “knowing your numbers.” Sports & Community Health: The inaugural Tasty Treasures Heritage Relay in Delices highlighted sport, local food, culture, and wellness, including a traditional bread-baking challenge. Infrastructure Delivery Support: RIISE has begun operations, offering Dominica and three other OECS governments technical help to push climate-resilient infrastructure projects past implementation bottlenecks. Recognition & Role Models: Olympic champion Thea LaFond-Gadson is set to receive an honorary Doctor of Laws from UWI for her contribution to sport.
