Disaster Recovery Projects

Though many reasons can be cited including the lack of political will, and diversion of funds, it is a disturbing fact that post-disaster recovery programmes are severely delayed in its delivery. This delay is adding to the sufferings of the victims as most of them would be in the long waiting for a starting point to begin a new life.

To site a recent example, the magnitude of the 2004 tsunami is unprecedented in modern times, it severely tested national and international disaster management preparedness and will yield valuable lessons for all kinds of future natural disaster recovery. But even after four years of the disaster, recovery projects are lagging behind in many countries. FWF is focussing its attention into this aspect and is determined to fulfil projects within the planned time scale.
