The Asian Development Bank has allocated about $900,000 grant to the Fijian Government to help fund priority recovery activities following Tropical Cyclone Harold.
ADB Director General for the Pacific Leah Gutierrez says the Category 4 cyclone caused widespread destruction in several Pacific countries at the time of an extraordinary worldwide health emergency.
Gutierrez says the emergency funds may be used to provide support for the restoration of basic social services to communities affected by the cyclone.
This is ADB’s second grant to the Pacific to help recover from Tropical Cyclone Harold, after Vanuatu received $1 million in assistance last week.
