The Caribbean Disaster Mitigation Project (CDMP) is a coordinated effort to promote the adoption of natural hazard mitigation and preparedness practices by both the public and private sectors in the Caribbean region. The CDMP is funded by the USAID Office of Foreign Disaster Assistance (OFDA) and implemented by the Organization of American States/Unit of Sustainable Development and Environment (OAS/USDE) for the Caribbean Regional Program (USAID/CRP).

The NHP, with financial support from ECHO, is providing technical assistance to help prepare disaster reduction programs to protect school infrastructure through technical assistance, training, technology transfer and by supporting the formulation of policy and strategic action plans for the education sector.
