BRR Six Month Report

Six months later, a vital transition is occurring. Moving beyond relief and into long-term recovery is now the key priority. The transition entails getting people out of tents and into permanent shelter, restoring legal rights, transitioning emergency water supplies into permanent facilities, re-establishing agricultural land and markets, re-building schools, restocking educational supplies. It means moving from cash-for-work to restoring livelihoods and the local economy. It entails institution building and physical reconstruction on a massive scale. Most of all it is about reviving shattered communities and restoring hope and self-sufficiency to the people of Aceh and Nias.
