Ambassador Ramdin stressed that “the Organization of American States continues to play a leading role in facilitating the coordination of relief efforts among the inter-American system partners (Pan-American Health Organization (PAHO), Pan-American Development Fund (PADF), Inter-American Development Bank, (IDB) Inter-American Institute for Cooperation and Agriculture (IICA) and the Inter-American Defense Board (IDB).
In an effort to increase support to the earthquake-stricken cities of Haiti, Ramdin also announced that the OAS will make available immediate resources to assist in the disaster relief. “Today the Organization presented a check for $100,000.00 to the Permanent Representative of Haiti to the OAS and pledged another $1million in technical assistance. Ramdin praised the efforts of the hemispheric response which has totaled over $170 million and 208 tons of humanitarian and medical supplies. Ramdin added, “the OAS will propose to the inter-American partners the establishment, without delay, of a Haiti Hemispheric Fund for Development.
