ACT appeal India: Orissa floods - Post crisis - ASIN13

Attachments

Appeal Target: US$ 654,526
Geneva, 13 November 2001

Dear Colleagues,

Following the Super cyclone in 1999, the severe drought in 2000 and the devastating flood and rains in the period June to September 2001, the people of Orissa are still fighting to overcome their losses and restore their livelihood.

Through its members on the ground, ACT International has launched an emergency operation under Appeal ASIN12, which is about to be completed by all the three implementing partners: Churches Auxiliary for Social Action (CASA), the Lutheran World Service - India (LWS-I) and the United Evangelical Church in India (UELCI). The ACT partners convened a meeting to discuss a joint strategy regarding the implementation of possible post crisis activities. UELCI undertook a baseline study, which resulted in this post crisis phase appeal. LWS-I is working on a proposal for an extension/revision which will be dealt with separately. CASA has decided not to enter into a post-crisis phase as they are already implementing a long-term rehabilitation programme after the last super cyclone.

UELCI is proposing to continue its support, through its local implementing partners, to assist the affected people in restoring their livelihood and to regain some level of food security. The proposal includes the following components:

  • Food for Work
  • Material support to restore shelters
  • Livelihood support for fishing and weaving communities
  • Distribution of seeds for kitchen gardens
  • Health & Sanitation
  • Disaster preparedness

Project Completion Date: 31 August 2002
