VEEP supports reconstruction & delivery of critical services after the April 2021 volcanic eruptions. The estimated date of completion is 30 December 2026.
The Volcanic Eruption Emergency Project (VEEP) is a three-component project that seeks to provide short-term income support to Vincentians who were negatively impacted by the 2021 eruptions of the La Soufriere volcano. It also aims to repair and improve critical services, and strengthen the Government of Saint Vincent and the Grenadines’ capacity to prepare for and respond to national emergencies.
