The Secretary General of the Organization of American States (OAS), Miguel Ángel Rodríguez, will visit Grenada and Haiti to analyze in situ the actions needed in those two countries in order to assist their efforts to overcome the disastrous effects of recent hurricanes.
In his field visits and in the meetings he will have with the authorities and political leaders in both countries, the Secretary General's agenda includes examining what steps the OAS can undertake directly in the form of immediate, medium, and long-term cooperation and what further actions could be promoted jointly with other entities both within and outside the inter-American system.
As previously reported, it was precisely because of the need to assist Grenada in this field that Dr. Rodríguez took part in the donors’ meeting held on Monday, October 4, 2004, where he presented plans for holding a two-day technical meeting sponsored by the OAS, to be attended by representatives of the Caribbean countries, with a view to pooling information on best practices for natural disaster prevention and for reducing countries’ vulnerability to such disasters.
The Secretary General also indicated that the OAS was ready to assist Grenada in obtaining financing from the Organization’s non-reimbursable cooperation fund (FEMCIDI) for such priorities as the country may set, such as planning for natural disaster mitigation, advice on building safer housing, hospitals, and schools, or improvements to construction codes.
Dr. Rodríguez has said on many occasions that the situation in Haiti represents the principal challenge facing the inter-American system with respect to integral development and solidarity, and that the OAS is called upon to make a very determined political effort to ensure that Haiti receives considerable support over a very extended period of time, because, otherwise, it will not be able to overcome its problems and build the institutional structure it needs to ensure the stability and progress Haitians require.
En route to one of these destinations, the Secretary General took the opportunity to visit and accompany his younger daughter, who underwent an operation on one of her knees.
