The appeal, designed to cover a wide range of relief and recovery projects to be implemented through July 2011, follows an earlier 3-month appeal launched in August for US$38 million.
To date international donors, including the US, UK, Canada, Sweden, Japan and the UN, have contributed nearly US$22 million to IOM’s initial appeal. This is funding activities including the provision of emergency shelter and non-food relief items, coordination of the Emergency Shelter Cluster, transport and logistics, mass communications and health.
The revised appeal includes projects across a range of sectors including:
- Emergency and longer term shelter, and coordination of the Emergency Shelter Cluster ($70 million.)
- Community restoration, including debris removal and repair of damaged infrastructure ($26 million.)
- Staff and procurement support for the National Disaster Management Authority (NDMA) ($4 million.)
- Logistics and transport for aid agencies and the NDMA ($3 million.)
- Mass communications for disaster-affected populations ($3 million)
- Emergency health care and restoration of primary health care ($2 million.)
- Distribution of tool kits to help people to restart their livelihoods and rebuild their houses ($2 million.)
- Displacement camp coordination and camp management ($2 million.)
- Prevention of human trafficking ($1 million.)
