Through the years, community visits, lessons and discussions have been held
by the teams at many places such as: Richmond Hydropower Plant, Bequia
Desalination Plant, Chatoyer Gardens, the Ministry of Agriculture, Tourism
and Education, the Ministry of Health, Wellness and the Environment, the
Community College, the Technical College.
At the end of each 1 month and 6 months course, a new team of participants
replaces the team that has completed the program. This not only enables a
longitudinal study of climate change and it’s effects; it also allows a continuous
fresh perspective and ensures that the adaptation plan remains relevant.
RVA’s small teams work closely with a larger group of Vincentians who are
already involved with the programs in different ways. Active community
participation, involvement, input and unification are essential components for the
continuation of the projects. However, it is the seamless merge of groups that will
make the country climate compliant.
