The Barbados-based Caribbean Disaster Emergency Management Agency (CDEMA) says St. Lucia’s Education, Sustainable Development, Innovation, Science, Technology and Vocational Training Minister, Shawn Edward, has been appointed chairman of the regional disaster agency.
It said Edward was appointed during a recent virtual meeting of the ninth Extraordinary Meeting of Council of Ministers and he replaces the former attorney general and minister of legal affairs and justice in St. Kitts-Nevis, Vincent Byron Jr, who held the post for two years.
CDEMA said Edward has been involved in comprehensive disaster management (CDM), having ably led in its advancement in the education sector in St. Lucia through CDEMA’s Caribbean Safe Schools Initiative.
