The Department of Sustainable Development (DSD) of the General
Secretariat of the Organization of American States (GS-OAS),
with the support of the World Bank, is the executing agency for
the Caribbean Emergency Legislation Project (CELP).
The
objective of the project is to build legislative capacity to
enhance legal and institutional frameworks for state of
emergency and budget appropriation in eleven CARICOM countries
and the Dominican Republic. Further, the project aims to make
recommendations on how to improve legislative channels and
administrative procedures during, and immediately after, the
occurrence of a natural disaster.
Pursuant to
these objectives, the project will assess current
legal-institutional frameworks in the Caribbean applicable under
a state of emergency, review global best practices, and promote dialogue
with national and regional stakeholders, in order to ascertain
areas for improvement and make recommendations that are best
suited for the Caribbean region.
The
project consists of the following components:
