1:30Now PlayingPrime Minister Hon. Philip J. Pierre is closing the gaps to ensure no Saint Lucian is left behind or forgotten.
Thousands of Saint Lucians in the informal sector lost their jobs because of the COVID-19 pandemic. Many of these informal workers slipped through the cracks and did not benefit from previous income support programmes. Prime Minister Pierre leads a Cabinet of Ministers and a government committed to helping people and providing support to our most vulnerable.
The Ministry of Equity has secured $14.5 million from the Inter-American Development Bank to support various safety net projects for vulnerable populations.
More than $5 million will be used to provide one-time cash payments to nearly 5,000 households and informal sector workers who did not benefit from previous income support programmes.
4,900 Saint Lucian households and informal sector workers will receive $1500 each.
