Data for Decision Making Project

The OECS Data for Decision-Making Project (DDM), a 5-year project, operating out of the Office of the Director General; is an initiative led by the Organisation of Eastern Caribbean States (OECS) Commission.

Provide an immediate and effective response to an eligible emergency allowing for considerable economies of scale and facilitate positive spillovers.
