<p>Antigua and Barbuda is eligible to receive Official Development Assistance (ODA).
The island of Barbuda, with a population of 1,800 persons, was recently devastated
by Hurricane Irma and the UK is providing humanitarian assistance, through the Red
Cross and the Pan American Health Organisation, to the affected population. We have
also released £14 million, to Antigua and Barbuda, for climate-resilient infrastructure
projects to help the islands build back better and stronger. DFID is awaiting the
World Bank’s post disaster needs assessment and will review future needs accordingly,
in collaboration with other donors. All of this UK support will be classified as ODA.</p>
