Welcome, everyone, to this exhibition of USAID's accomplishments in Hurricane Georges Reconstruction in the Dominican Republic, an effort that has helped over a million Dominicans recover from disaster and regain hope for the future. Similar USAID efforts have helped millions in other countries throughout Central America and the Caribbean in the wake of Hurricane Georges and Hurricane Mitch. These are impressive results, but USAID also is helping the Dominican Republic achieve sustained economic growth, reduce poverty, deepen democracy, and improve the health of vulnerable groups.
-Elena Brineman, Mission Director, USAID Dominican Republic
