IRMA is working in partnership with Global Emergencies Group (GEG) to conduct a Gap Analysis of disaster response capacities in eight Caribbean states/territories: Belize, Dominica, Guyana, Grenada, Jamaica, St Lucia, St Vincent and the Grenadines, and Suriname. The results will enable Global Affairs Canada to strategically direct Canadian capacities to address the identified gaps and enhance the existing Caribbean Rapid Response Mechanism (RRM).

The IRMA-GEG team is co-led by IRMA Partners Marilise Turnbull and Lezlie Moriniere, and includes three Caribbean-based associates: Danielle Evanson, Karla Paz and Shareen Koenjbiharie.
