Solutions for the Future Solutions used by

government: The UK launched a 3 year

$122.8 million aid program to help reconstruct the economy

DFID(British’s Department for International Development) provided assistance to Montserrat since the beginning for the volcanic eruption This includes budgetary aid, technical assistance and funding for capital projects

DFID even developed a new plan to cover the five-year period 2008-12!

Solutions we think will work:

Focus on building new housing for residents who are still affected by the eruption

Try to clean up the environment and make the soil and plants healthier to plant more crops which can help strengthen the economy
