The Social
Development Foundation along with Palli Karma Shahayak
Foundation (PKSF) is also implementing a flood restoration
and recovery assistance program in the districts devastated by
floods in 2007.
In
response to the government’s request for rehabilitation and
reconstruction assistance in the aftermath of the floods, the
International Development Association (IDA) of the World Bank
came up with the US$25 million emergency program. The
detailed design and operational procedures of this program has
been prepared by SDF for quick rehabilitation of the
flood-affected people, particularly the poor and vulnerable
ones.
Some 250 flood-affected villages in Jamalpur and Gaibandha (100
in Gaibandha and 150 in Jamalpur) have been covered under the
consolidation phase of SIPP. Besides, 100 non-SIPP villages
will be covered. About 150,000 flood-affected families
will be benefited directly from the livelihood support activities.
