Rehabilitation
Programme for Drought-Affected Areas
This programme, financed jointly with the
Belgium Survival Fund, was set up in response to an extensive and
prolonged period of drought in Ethiopia. It was designed to provide
immediate relief in the form of seeds, tools and other essential farming
needs, and to rehabilitate drinking water systems and primary health
care facilities. The duration of the programme was intended to be
only 2.5 years, it but was extended several times because of
the complexity of implementing water supply and sanitation projects
and the fact that the project areas were widely scattered.
