In 1998 counterparts of Oxfam Novib set up a joint relief program in response to El Niño. The results include different water management systems in villages on mountain slopes, credit extension and technical support to livelihood projects, rice rations for victim-families living in remote areas. A new relief and rehabilitation project will continue these activities, but will focus not only on natural disasters, but also include the effects of manmade disasters. Relief activities include provision of food and medicines. Rehabilitation includes credit facilities, the construction of storage rooms, training, poultry and seeds, and the development of entrepreneurship. Link to Source
