Summary:
The three-year fully-funded Cyclone Nargis recovery operation has been successfully completed, reaching about 174,000 households and 132,460 school children in the Ayeyarwady Delta.
While the operation came to an official close at the end of September with a highly satisfactory reconciliation of National Society working advances, field activities concluded in May and the nine hub offices in the Delta closed progressively between June and July. The conclusion of field activities and the closure of hub offices which involved the departure of staff as per the terms of their employment contracts and a sizeable inventory and transfer of assets and materials, were conducted smoothly thanks to detailed transition planning jointly undertaken by MRCS and IFRC early on in the operation. The month of October 2011 has been devoted to finalizing the required financial and narrative reporting.
Out of the total appeal target of CHF 68.6 million, a total of CHF 65.8 million has been spent. Approximately CHF 5.3 million remains unspent from the total income of the operation which stands at CHF 71.1 million.
With the approval of partners, this balance of CHF 5.3 million will be transferred to the annual programme income for use for activities including those under disaster management, water and sanitation, health and care and organizational development, to be conducted by MRCS with IFRC support over the next few years.
Details on the sectoral allocation of these funds will be provided in forthcoming programme updates produced by IFRC.
