Special
Assistance Project for Cyclone Affected Rural Households
The overall aim of the project was to strengthen the coping strategies
of rural households hit by the 1991 cyclone. The project had two specific
objectives:
- to rehabilitate the productive potential of people affected by
the cyclone by replenishing livestock and repairing infrastructure
(for example, by rehabilitating fish ponds and fishing vessels)
- to lay the foundations for increasing community resilience in
vulnerable areas by strengthening capacity to cope with crises resulting
from natural disasters
The project also helped equip a more
effective cyclone early-warning system and constructed ten cyclone
shelters in the Kutubdia area.
