Description

PREFACE

The first field survey, on which this report is based, was undertaken in July 2005. The
results of this survey were presented to stakeholders in St. Kitts in August. Additional
fieldwork was undertaken in September, in order to further disaggregate the data that
had been collected in the initial survey.
The OECS team was made up of Jacqueline Massiah and Sean Curtis Mathurin both of whom were responsible for data collection and analysis. Other persons in the OECS team included Beverly Best, Rodinald Soomer and Ezra JnBaptiste. Vasantha Chase coordinated the preparation of the report. The services of the OECS Secretariat in the field were made possible through funding from the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP).
