Post-Tsunami Livelihood Support and Partnership Programme
Post-Tsunami Livelihoods Support and Partnership Programme
In response to the tsunami of 26 December 2004, IFAD prepared and approved this programme to supplement the resources of the Dry-Zone Livelihoods Support and Partnership Programme and extend activities to the coastal areas affected by the disaster. This programme will assist communities in recovering essential physical and social infrastructure destroyed by the calamity, including housing, settlement infrastructure, community centres, day-care facilities, clinics and fisheries roads.
Planning and the financial management of programme resources will be decentralized and fully coordinated with other donor and government activities. The programme will apply participatory community approaches and will be flexible so that it can adjust to a rapidly changing socio-economic environment, natural calamities and other available funding sources.
The programme will be implemented over a three-year period, after which it will be merged with the second IFAD-funded post-tsunami programme, the Post-Tsunami Coastal Rehabilitation and Resource Management Programme.
