In Antigua/Barbuda, the PGDM supported retrofit work on John Hughes School, a designated emergency shelter. Under this activity, the PGDM engaged a local engineer to review the structure, recommend retrofit works and supervise the implementation of the recommendations. The project covered the cost of the building supplies and materials required for the retrofit. The Antigua/Barbuda Public Works Department provided the labor for this activity.
