The money was approved for the Organization of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) as emergency assistance.
According to a press release from the OECS, the funds will be used to “finance the cost of the consultancy service and to assist with interim arrangements for the re-establishment of regular air transport services within the sub-region.”
The CDB said the procurement process has already been completed and that the aviation consultancy will begin soon.
A technical working group comprising members from the OECS member states will also form part of the process to help guide the work of the consultant.
