EXECUTIVE SUMMARY

Introduction: Late on Thursday November 15th 2007, category 4 cyclone Sidr ripped along the south-

western coast of Bangladesh. Strong winds and tidal surges resulted a trail of devastation over the coastal

districts. Over 3,363 people were killed and more than 871 people went missing or unaccounted. Over a

million homes were damaged; up to 95% of crops in eleven coastal districts were destroyed; along with shrimp

farms and other livelihood activities. A massive effort saw 3.2 million people evacuated, but only 1.5 million

found shelter in the evacuation centers. The rest were forced to weather the storm in the open. In total, over

seven million people have been affected. Estimated damages and losses were Tk. 115.6 billion (US$ 1.7 billion

and mainly concentrated in the housing and productive sectors).

CARE Bangladesh responded to the emergency and implemented the $17.09 million response program (of

which USAID covered major portion) to assist over 350,000 households to recover from the devastating

affects of the cyclone. The programs were implemented in three phases i) Emergency Relief phase ii) Recovery

phase and, iii) Rehabilitation phase. The program was implemented in parts of Barguna, Pirojpur and Bagerhat

districts by PNGOs and directly by CARE.

Relief Phase: CARE addressed the needs of devastated households by providing food items (FI) and non-food

items (NFI) packages as well as water. In Barguna, CARE made an appropriate early intervention by distributing

1100 MT of food commodities from the contingency stock of SHOUHARDO program's Chittagong

warehouse. CARE subsequently distributed FI and NFI packages both in Barguna and Bagerhat, where it also

made an appropriate early intervention by deploying four water treatment plants distributing drinking water to

the affected communities. The FI and NFI packages were need based and well received by the beneficiaries.

CARE also entered into partnership with Dhaka Community Hospital to organize 507 health camps for people

suffering from Sidr-related injuries and/or health problems.

Recovery Phase: To restore normal life CARE implemented livelihood projects. The main components of

recovery project were Cash for Works (CFW) for road repairing, homestead gardening and homestead plinth

raising, and supporting fisher folks with cash. The CFW activities created employment opportunities for the

distressed families which were a major need after the relief phase. In addition, funds were provided to clean

and renovate the community ponds and to repair or provide new pond sand filters and hand tube-wells.

Sanitation needs were addressed by the provision of sanitary and hygiene kits; repair or provision of latrines

and hygiene education. The sanitary and hygiene kits and hygiene education were well received by the

community which impacted on the health, life and livelihood recovery of the Sidr hit households.

Rehabilitation and Preparedness Phase: CARE Provided 1,223 (980 USAID funded) new family houses

and 1,223 Rain Water Harvesting Plants (598 USAID Funded) in two Upazilas of Bagerhat district. In addition,

to meet the continuing needs the program received additional funding for a WATSAN project which was also

implemented in Bagerhat during the rehabilitation phase. The WATSAN project had the similar mix of activities

to improve water supplies, sanitation and hygiene awareness. Besides, two Cyclone Shelters cum schools were

constructed in Sharonkhola Upazila where at least 2,000 people can take shelter during cyclones while in

normal time, more than 300 students can be accommodated for schooling. Further, some 7,750 tents have

been procured to strengthen the ready stock as part of CARE organizational preparedness for any future

disasters.

Program management: With the strategic guidance from the CARE Emergency Response Team (ERT),

experienced CARE staff led and managed the response. CARE established field based offices and implemented

the response program mainly with locally recruited staff, and with limited inputs from international staff. The

Assistant Country Director took overall responsibility for overseeing the CARE team that planned and

implemented the response program where Humanitarian Assistance Coordinator/Program Coordinator led

program directly in the field. The program was implemented in combination of both direct deliveries by CARE

as well as partnering with local NGOs and government (LGED).

Impacts: The affected communities were highly satisfied not only for different assistance from CARE but also

for maintaining the quality. Local government representative and beneficiaries acknowledged that they were

directly involved with the process of implementation. A notable feature of the post-Sidr period was the

absence of epidemics of diarrhoea and other water and vector borne illnesses that often follow such disasters.

The reasons for the limited outbreak of such diseases were due to the efforts of providing safe water quickly,

combined with rapid distribution of relief food and basic shelter materials. Other impacts of specific Response

Program activities included raised awareness from hygiene education, rapid medical assistance for people

wounded during Sidr or suffering from Sidr-related illnesses, complaint boxes at distribution centers,

employment from CFW, added nutrition from homestead gardening. The family houses and schools cum

cyclone shelters were constructed maintaining a high quality consequently beneficiaries are found satisfied.

They have a true sense of security in mind and comparatively be safer from potential cyclones.

Conclusion: The USAID funded program was implemented as part of a broader emergency operation which

encompassed in three phases (Relief phase, Recovery Phase and Rehabilitation phase). Appreciated quick

release of fund by USAID, CARE was able to respond to the crisis effectively and efficiently. The quality of

family house construction, space etc are highly appreciated by the beneficiaries, government officials and other

stakeholders. Similarly, cyclone shelter cum schools construction quality and its spaces facilities such as ramp

(disable people friendly), separate toilets & water facilities for female and establish solar system for electricity

made which is a unique.

1. Introduction:

Late on Thursday November 15th 2007, category 4 cyclone Sidr ripped along the south-western coast of

Bangladesh. Strong winds and tidal surges left a trail of devastation over the coastal districts. Over 3,363 people

were killed and more than 871 people remain missing or unaccounted for. Over a million homes were

damaged; up to 95% of crops in eleven coastal districts were destroyed; along with shrimp farms and other

livelihood activities. A massive effort saw 3.2 million people evacuated, but only 1.5 million found shelter in the

evacuation centers. The rest were forced to weather the storm in the open. In total, over seven million people

have been affected.

While disaster preparedness helped to markedly reduce the loss of life compared with earlier cyclones, in

terms of damage to household and livelihood assets this is a catastrophe of enormous proportions. Hundreds

of thousands of people have been left with no shelter, ruined crops that were just about to be harvested, and

have been largely deprived of income-generation possibilities. Thousands of families' means of generating

income have literally been washed away. The poorest and most marginalized individuals who depend on selling

labor for agriculture and non-farm sector suffered a loss of income due to the disruption of their usual income

opportunities in agriculture and other small-scale activities. Many people did not have adequate resources to

meet their daily food and other requirements, so replacing these livelihood assets was an enormous task, given

that the severity of this disaster means that all normal coping strategies had been exhausted. It was extremely

difficult for people to generate the money needed to rebuild their houses in any permanent or satisfactory way,

especially given that many people's houses were also the place where they generate income.

The proposed project's short term relief assistance was to meet immediate food and non-food requirements,

while the medium term strategy was to support recovery and rehabilitation in terms of shelters and livelihoods.

The day before the cyclone, CARE Bangladesh deployed an assessment team and positioned relief supplies in

strategic locations. CARE and its local partners RIC and Prodipon carried out a rapid needs assessment which

indicated that food, clean water, non-food items (NFIs) and shelter were the main humanitarian priorities. This

assessment involved consultations with government authorities, local partners present in Bagerhat and Pirojpur

districts and with other International Non Governmental Organizations (INGOs).

2. Goal of Disaster Response:

The overall goal of CARE Bangladesh's Cyclone Sidr Response program was to save lives and reduce suffering

of the cyclone affected families, and reconnect to normal life through providing food and non-food items and

rebuilding their livelihoods, shelter, and water and sanitation systems.

5. Beneficiary selection:

CARE carried out assessment involving local partners. The beneficiary list was prepared consulting with local

government representatives and it was cross checked with the list prepared jointly by the civil and military

administration. . To select the target beneficiaries the following criteria were followed:

Families headed by separated, divorced or widowed women

Families headed by women with no regular significant earning sources

Children, especially orphans

Pregnant or lactating mothers

Poor and vulnerable families with large numbers of dependants

Elderly and physically challenged persons

Families with no source of livelihoods

CARE used household lists prepared by the UP and PNGOs as a starting point from which to begin

community consultations and establish target groups. Multidisciplinary CARE team women and men with

varying degrees of local knowledge and emergency experience - spoke with community members about need

and eligibility through direct household visits.

6. Relief Distribution:

CARE Bangladesh distributed food and non-food items in two phases. In the first phase food and non-food

items and in the second phase food and waters were distributed as part of emergency relief operation.

i. Food & Non-Food Items distribution

Within first two weeks of cyclone hit, CARE organized food and NFI distribution for 22000 families in the most

affected Morrelganj, Sharonkhola Upazila (Bagerhat) and Mothbaria (Pirojpur). Food and Non-food Items were

distributed in 7 Unions of Morrelgonj Upazila, 4 Unions of Sarankhola Upazila under Bagerhat district and 2

Unions of Mothbaria Upazila under Pirojpur district. Details beneficiary coverage for Food and Non-Food items

annex-II

ii. Food and water Distribution:

Food items from Title II food stock (SHOUHARDO) had been distributed as emergency response to the

Cyclone Sidr hit in 4 Unions of Barguna Sadar and 4 Unions of Patharghata Upazila under Barguna district

among 39,000 families. Food pack contained 20 kg of flour, 2 liters of oil and 2 kg of pulses were distributed to

39,000 families in Barguna District. Distribution was completed by the first week of December 2007. In

addition, 500 packages of dry food were distributed among 500 families in Khawlia Union and 1,500 packages

food items were distributed in 3 Unions of Morrelgonj Upazila under Bagerhat district. Details beneficiary

coverage for Food and Water annex -III

CARE Bangladesh also delivered 664,150 liters safe drinking water among 75,647 households in Sarankhola and

Morrelganj to ensure safe drinking and protect the cyclone affected people from water borne diseases.

Implementation:

Under normal circumstances, community buildings such as schools are used as venues for food and non-food

distribution. After Sidr, finding out a suitable place was one of the major challenges of the response as

widespread number of properties had been damaged or destroyed. This meant suitable storage facilities and

distribution points were determined by what was available. Implementation-related decisions were made in

consultation with the Union Parishad (UP) chairman, local agencies and PNGOs.

CARE prioritized women, children and the elderly, so they could have access to their packages first. This

initiative effectively reduced the length of time the most vulnerable recipients had to wait in queues and made

overall implementation smoother. Lessons from initial distributions, CARE ensured that target groups were

properly informed of all relevant information (time, date, package weight, contents and physical location)

through either pre-distribution meetings, physical visits/chit distribution or courtyard meetings.

7. Livelihoods, Income Generation and Cash for Work (CFW):

The purpose these activities were to provide short-term support for employment generation and ensure food

security for the most vulnerable families. The project provided support to 9,434 beneficiaries under Cash for

Work (CFW) activities like road repairing, school ground raising, house plinths raising, homestead beds

preparation and nursery beds preparation.

Activity Area and beneficiaries:

The program was located in Bagerhat District. The program was implemented in the worst affected villages in

the following upazillas with a focus on cyclone affected most vulnerable communities. Details beneficiary

coverage (with category) for CFW Annex IV

In the ground Uttaran, Prodipan, Resources Integration Centre (RIC) and Shushilan had implemented the

activity as implementing partners.

Beneficiary's selection criteria and mechanisms:

The project targeted the most vulnerable cyclone affected extreme poor beneficiaries’ especially vulnerable

women those who had no or little regular source of income in the affected areas and were insecure with food

and lack of purchase power because of unemployment of the male members of the families. The beneficiaries

were selected through community consultation and also consulted the unions/wards/villages to identify

beneficiaries from the union household list.

The following criteria were considered during selection of beneficiary:

Female-headed households including those widows, abandoned, separated, divorce.

Elderly, sick, and physically challenged

Beneficiaries not listed with other NGOs or governmental agencies.

Group formation

Each beneficiary group consisted of 10 beneficiaries headed by one Group Leader. PIC lead the group

formation process based on the neighborhood, manageability, and people with congenial relationship. The

group members selected one Group Leader. This group leader was only represents the group to convey

comments from group members to the PIC and disseminate the message or decisions from PIC/Partner/CARE

to the beneficiaries.

Project Implementation Committee (PIC) formation:

The project activities were monitored and supervised by a community based body named as Project

Implementation Committee (PIC). The PIC consisted of 7 members from the community and CFW

participating beneficiaries. The PIC members were selected by the beneficiaries involved in CFW.

Scheme selection:

Under this project rural earthen roads, school ground and house plinth was identified based on vulnerability

indicators and through community consultations.. During schemes, i.e. rural earthen roads and school ground

selection process, the following factors were considered:

Community interest / benefits

Availability of earth collection areas;

Scope of work of the beneficiaries of the same village;

Accessibility to the markets, schools, hospitals, main roads, etc.

Economically important, e.g. access to the resources like market, school and crops field.

Interventions under livelihood program:

The following interventions were undertaken under the livelihood project through partnership with aforesaid

local organizations and CARE direct delivery.

Road repairing

School ground raising

House plinths raising

Homestead vegetable gardening

Tree nursery establishment

Cash Inject through Cash for Work:

Just after cyclone Sidr the unemployment situation went to its peak. In other words there were virtually no

employment opportunities and day labours had limited access to food and other house needs. The price of

daily necessities hiked and purchasing power of extreme poor and marginalized people reduced significantly.

Cash For Work (CFW) activities provided poor and marginalized families with an income earning during the

post-cyclone period and ensured food and other livelihood security. A total of 9,434 beneficiaries (Male-4,128

& female-5,306) were brought under the CFW with a total of 2,37,427 person days and the wage was BDT

125/person/day (six hours). Person day under CFW, annex V

Rural earthen road reconstruction:

Devastating cyclone Sidr severely damaged physical communication system and the people could not move on

to economically important place such as market, hospital and Union Council. In connection with this rural

earthen road was selected for repairing and reconstruction. A total of 101 rural earthen roads with 67 km

length repaired.

School ground raising:

In many cases, education institution was damaged by

Sidr and student could not go to school even they

could not play on the school playground as most of

the grounds were under water or washed away of

the ground soil. CARE selected those schools under

CFW activities in order to smooth functioning. A

total of 24 primary school playgrounds were raised in

Morrelganj and Sharankhola upazilla under Bagerhat

district.

House plinth raising:

As most of the house plinths in the severely affected villages were washed away and the poor people did not

have ability to rebuild their plinths so the house plinths were selected through a community consultation

process and repaired/raised those house plinths through cash for work. A total of 570 house plinths were

raised in Morrelganj and Sharankhola. Intervention wise CFW achievements (+tools distributed) Annex VI

Cash Transfer :

Each CFW beneficiary received an amount of BDT

125 per day for six hours participation to the cash

for work activities. This rate was the same for all

beneficiaries (male, female, elderly, physically

challenged, pregnant and lactating mothers).

Payment was made by cash after each week's work

done. Beneficiary received the wage through signing

the master roll. In all schemes, only the enrolled

beneficiary was eligible to receive the payment. In

case of extremely exceptional situation, a representative of the beneficiary could receive the payment upon

submission of authorization letters and approval by the PIC.

Homestead vegetable cultivation:

The beneficiaries were supported for home-gardening in order to ensure nutrition and reduced malnutrition of

lactating and pregnant mother and children under five. Vegetable seeds that grow during summer and winter

were distributed among 3,518 selected

beneficiaries of severe cyclone-affected areas

of Morrelganj and Sarankhola of Bagerhat

district, as it was apparent that the majority of

small, marginal share cropping farmers had lost

their seeds.

Seeds provided among beneficiaries are

eggplant, bottle gourd, spinach, carrot, radish,

tomato, beet root and red pumpkin red

amarnath, spinach, okra, gima kalmi, red

pumpkin, ash gourd, amaranth, chilli, bitter gourd, and papaya were distributed. Average size of the vegetable

garden was 1.5 to 2.5 decimal. NGO-wise beneficiary coverage for vegetable seed distribution Annex VII

Nursery Establishment:

The severely affected upazilla Morrelganj and Sharankhola are located very close to the world largest mangrove

forest. Before Sidr the areas were occupied with numerous trees. But devastating Sidr totally destroyed the

greenish environment including lots of nurseries. To repair the damage to some extent some assistances were

provided to those who totally affected and suffered after Sidr .Nursery bed preparation, seedling, net fencing

and nursery equipments provided among 100 beneficiaries in Morrelganj and Sharankhola upazilla. In addition,

training on nursery bed preparation, management and cutting budding provided to beneficiaries. Different types

plants and seedlings were distributed among the nursery farmers. List of tree variety and tools distributed

Area Selection:

Soon after Sidr, several NGOs including CARE and Government agencies showed interest to build houses. But

govt. took time to decide who should go where. It was delayed further due to the cluster group of the shelter

construction taking time to develop an agreed design as each of the actor wanted to have similar design of

houses. Considerable time spent on the decision making process from both GoB and NGOs level, however in

March 2008 it appeared that NGOs could build the houses within a limited area. CARE Bangladesh took the

initiatives and finalized the working areas in consultation with the Upazila Administration. After getting

allocation of working areas from Upazila administration, CARE started work on those areas in selecting

targeted beneficiaries for family houses.

Beneficiary Selection Process for Family House:

The primary beneficiary list was collected from the Upazila administration prepared jointly by the civil and

military administration. CARE shelter team organized community consultations focusing on project objectives

and beneficiary selection criteria and a beneficiary list was prepared with community consultations. The list was

verified by door to door house visits to assess the condition/damage of the houses and the family situation.

Then senior management cross checked the list and further all the listed shelter beneficiaries were revisited

and finally a list was prepared through consultation with communities. The land ownership documents were

checked, collected and preserved.

PIC Formation:

Project Implementation Committee (PIC) was also formed for this activity to ensure the participation of the

community as well as beneficiary level to ensure its quality. The PIC is consisted of 7 members (5 from listed

family house beneficiaries and 2 from civil society representatives). The roles and responsibilities of the PIC

members were as follows:

Coordinate monitoring activities with CARE staff.

Arrange meetings and record minutes on need basis.

Monitor all construction activities.

Maintain good relations with beneficiaries in working area.

Ensure community monitoring of shelter program.

Liaise with UP members and UP chairman.

Resolve local problems/conflicts related to house construction.

Ensure safety of all workers, especially for female workers.

Implementation:

Initially, CARE's policy was to implement through PNGOs but found they were over loaded and did not have

strong construction experience. It then tried to engage private sector to build houses. Two tender processes

did not result in reasonable quotes and consequently CARE decided to construct family houses as “direct

delivery” engaging local community and beneficiaries. Initially, 10 family houses were constructed on an

experimental basis and based on the lessons learned, CARE constructed the rest of the houses 970 and 598

Rain Water Harvesting plants successfully by November 2008. The quality of the constructed houses was highly

appreciated by the beneficiaries, government officials and other stakeholders

Design and planning of family houses

The issues were considered during design of the family houses:

Space 3.5 sqm / person

Two separate rooms for ensuring privacy and adolescents in the family

Enough lighting and ventilation

The design of the family shelter was consulted with the community, maintained local culture and storm

resilience structure was followed. It also considered minimum sphere standard in terms of size and

environment. The shelter program also integrated with water and sanitation provision.

Family House Specification and Materials used:

The size of a family house is 18’-0” x 15’-0” i.e each family house consists of plinth area 270 sqft. (25sqm),

divided in two separate rooms having size10’-0”x 8’-4” and 10’-0” x 9’-8” respectively for ensuring privacy and

adolescents in the family. The size of the adjacent kitchen on the veranda is 8’-4” x 5’-0” and the remaining part

of the veranda is open where the children can read and play during the rainy day and can be used for family

routine activities.

The house was constructed on an average 2’-0” height plinth (earthen). During the construction twelve

numbers of 5”x5” R.C.C pillars and 13 bamboo poles were used. Out of which eight numbers pillars having a

height of 11’-11” and the rest four are 9’-11”. The clear room height is 8’-0”. The roof truss consists of 38

x38x4mm M.S angles and fixed in four bays for a house. The roof is covered by 0.34mm CI sheet on 29 degree

roof slope. The walls are made by Bamboo fence manufactured by best quality bamboo. Each house consists of

four numbers of 3’-0”x3’-0”wooden windows and one wooden door 3’-0”x6’-10” for ensuring enough

ventilation and lighting inside the room.

8.2 Construction of School cum Cyclone Shelters

CARE Bangladesh in association with local partners carried out an assessment in Sidr affected Sharankhola and

identified the huge needs of cyclone shelters. Considering the available resources, two locations were identified

as most appropriate where surrounding communities had a

very little opportunity of taking refuge in safe heaven

during cyclone or tidal surge. And, with generous support

from USAID, CARE in partnership with LGED two school

cum cyclone shelters have been constructed in

Sharankhola Upazila.

These shelters are to be used as schools during peace time

which will greatly help in education of children and keeping

the shelter in good conditions.

It is to be noted, initially it was planned to construct three structures like these but finally it was reduced to

two. Despite repeated efforts CARE couldn’t find suitable vendor to construct the 3rd structure. Constraint in

budget was another reason for not taking it.

Brief of Shelters:

Floor area of each shelter is (34m x 9.6m) 326.40 sqm i,e 3512 sft . It is a two-storied RCC framed structure

rest on RCC pile foundation. There is a ramp built on left-front of the shelter building from ground level to 1st

floor which ensure easy access of any disable persons moving on wheel chair or push cart by other. Ground

floor area is open but improved by cc works while 1st floor area designed into several rooms which have to be

used as class rooms. During disaster period the school premises to be used as shelter purposes.

Implementation procedure

CARE went for a partnership with Local Government Engineering Department (LGED) to implement the

schemes as it has experience of doing large structures like this. And the nationally accepted design which has

been developed by LGED was followed in constructing the structures. LGED engaged experienced contractors

for the implementation of schemes. And for this the GOB public procurement Rules 2008 for engaging

contractor(s) was followed. The exact location of the structure, type of structure, design of structure and

other associate important decisions were made jointly by LGED, CARE & USAID through consultation

processes with benefiting communities, local elected bodies, local administration, civil societies etc. Separate

Environmental Impact Assessments (EIA) were done before constructing the infrastructure to make sure the

intervention is environmentally smart and not causing any harms to environment.

Quality Monitoring and Post Survey

LGED and CARE monitored the quality of the construction jointly. And in doing this, an agreed procedure was

followed. A progress monitoring report was prepared on monthly basis for onward submission to concern

authorities at GoB and CARE. After completion of the structures, CARE & LGED conducted post surveys to

make sure that the specifications and qualities are well met. Both LGED and CARE used same format for

progress monitoring of the structure. Executive Engineer compiled the progress reports using prescribe format

and send to Project Director, LGED HQ in 02(two) months interval. CARE also done the same report to

SHOUHARDO HQ management using the same format. LGED officials closely supervised the overall

implementation activities. Executive Engineer and Assistant Engineer visited the scheme sites on and often.

Project Budget and Operational Cost for Program Implementation

Initially it was planned to construct three shelters and budget was kept in line with the plan. The indicative

budget for this purpose was around Taka 42,000,000. Finally, two School building cum Shelter has been

constructed instead of three due to increase of estimated cost and want of suitable vendor. Further, in the

initial design no ramp was included but to follow of USAID regulations, ramp has been included as revised.

Finally two schemes incurred Taka 35,166,519.

Maintain the Standard and Ensure the Accountability

CARE values the standard and accountability of its services and works most. All out efforts were taken to

maintain set standard and ensure accountability at all levels particularly to the benefiting communities.

Following steps were taken to ensure the standard and the accountability:

Location and facilities of the shelters determined considering the peoples view.

Targeting criteria determined considering the most vulnerable groups identified in the Sphere

Standard.

UP Chair/Member and UDMC member were involved in the operational decision making and

problem solving process.

All information related to response was well publicized through banner and microphone and

distribution card.

Established complaint mechanism for beneficiary feed-back.

Besides, there was a prior checking mechanisms of materials as well as design, so that chances of quality

deviation reduced to zero level.

Problem encountered and measures taken

Multi dimensional and unforeseen challenges, problems arisen during shelter construction, of which prime

challenge was the remoteness. Besides, transportation of materials, unfavorable weather, tidal effect, salinity of

water, non-availability of construction materials, inadequate skilled labour, changes in design etc were

continuously faced. To overcome all these problems we consulted the parties involved and convinced them

presenting the fact and showing the alternatives options. Though it took time but finally we could successfully

get the construction done.

Outcome & expected Impact

Geographically Sharankhola Upazila exposed to Bay of Bengal and vulnerable for climate change. Devastating

Cyclone Sidr & Cyclone Aila hit the Upazila and caused huge impact on both lives and properties. Therefore,

shelter construction has been very effective for this region. Local communities are found to be excited to have

such a big shelter cum school building. They think it is a blessing for them and from now on their children

including girls would be able to go to schools. Moreover this structure would provide safer shelter during

disasters.

Handover ceremony

The multipurpose cyclone shelter-cum-schools were

handed over formally in May 2010. A handover ceremony

was held on 16th of May 2010 at Dhansagor- Radhalaxmi

Junior Girls' High School ground where both the shelters

have been handed over to respective School Managing

Committee. Local MP, US Ambassador, USAID Mission

Director, Sr. CARE Officials were present in the occasion.

9. Coordination and collaboration:

CARE maintained a close collaboration and coordination with different stakeholders like the Government of

Bangladesh (GoB), International Non Governmental Organizations (INGOs), PNGOs and officials from

District, Upazila levels and local elected bodies (LEB). The community members came forward to assist the

emergency response program.. Their positive gesture significantly helped ensure quality implementation.

The partner organizations communicated with other NGOs and local government bodies specially to avoid

duplication of areas and beneficiaries. They informed the date and place of relief distribution to the Deputy

Commissioner and concerned Upazila Nirbahi Officers and Union Council Chairmen.

Regular co-ordination meetings also took place at district level, particularly between non government

organizations and district administration headed Deputy Commissioner at which beneficiary lists and relief &

rehabilitation activities were discussed and action agreed.

10. Monitoring:

At every level and steps of the Sidr response PNGO and CARE Bangladesh undertook monitoring. CARE

deployed monitoring personnel to work together with PNGO and LGED. They practiced Participatory

Monitoring & Evaluation (PME) system to ensure the quality and track the progress.. The approach took into

account the appropriateness and sensitivities of monitoring in an emergency setting.

The M & E team mobilized rapidly and followed existing CARE manual guidelines. They conducted spot

monitoring at distribution points and assessed quality and quantity of the assistances. In addition, M&E held

Focus Group Discussions (FGD) and open ended questionnaires with beneficiaries. Further FDGs were also

carried out with PNGOs. This strategy was useful in assessing impact and effectiveness and emphasized a

humanitarian accountability framework which is part of CARE’s overall cyclone response.

Concerned staff & Program Managers under direct supervision of Program Coordinator ensured the quality of

the works. The CARE Bangladesh Head Quarter personnel from different levels also visited the program

activities time to time that helped to ensure the quality and timely completion of activities.

11. Effectiveness of Sidr responses:

Distribution was timely, efficient and completed by first week of December 2007

63,000 cyclone affected vulnerable families have improved and survived by receiving food and non-

food materials.

NFI helped meet specific women’s needs by providing sanitary napkins and cloth

NFI packages provided families with temporary shelter and household items to assist with the process

of rebuilding livelihoods

NFI packages were easily transportable to reach beneficiaries in the most remote areas

The livelihoods program assisted the most vulnerable people to ensure food security and met other

households’ needs.

Shelter beneficiaries got quality houses with required space and facilities.

The Rain Water Harvesting System created opportunities to get safe water for drinking and cooking.

The government officials like Director General – Relief, Divisional Commissioner, Khulna, Deputy

Commissioner, Bagerhat and concerned Upazila Nirbahi Officers were highly impressed with quality of

the CARE’s delivered family houses (Space, materials, well ventilation, lighting etc.)

M & E reported widespread satisfaction among recipients with the contents of packages, quality of the

family houses and livelihoods assistance

12. Challenges faced:

CARE did not have presence in the affected area before the cyclone hit, as result, to establish new

office just after cyclone CARE faced challenges (affected and new areas for staff).

Lack of coordination among NGOs & Government created confusion among the beneficiaries as

different NGOs provided different quantity of relief items, daily wages as well as the work duration for

CFW and family house with different specifications.

Frequent changes of decisions of local government bodies regarding allocation of areas.

Insufficient logistics and store materials.

Transportation of relief items to remote areas was difficult.

Huge crowd and rush during distribution created insecurity.

Carrying of construction materials to the beneficiaries house during monsoon

Frequent price hike of construction materials

Although CARE provided high quality of CI sheet for roof from one of the reputed manufacturers, it

has found that some of the CI sheets getting rust (un known reason). To keep good will of the

manufacturing company as well as reputation of the vendor, all CI sheets had been replaced by the

manufacturer with their own cost.

13. Lesson learned:

Working through existing partners' organization who have presence in the affected areas would help a

lot for effective emergency response. CARE should establish partnership program with PNGOs in

non-working areas also as part of disaster preparedness.

Gender assessments (carried out after the distribution) found that a female presence was required at

distribution points to encourage women beneficiaries to attend and ensure they are comfortable

gender specific discussing concerns. All future distributions will aim to include at least one female staff

member.

To meet specific needs and minimize waiting times at distribution points, CARE realized it was

important to give packages to women, disable and elderly people first. Beneficiaries were

overwhelmingly appreciative. This approach will be continued in future distributions.

Community involvement in all aspects of the housing implementation process is crucial to avoid future

problems

Effective planning is essential for any emergency response to minimize suffering of the affected people.

Distributing Chit Card among beneficiaries by staff can minimize misappropriations to zero level

Proper coordination is a must to avoid duplication of areas, beneficiaries and resources to maximize

the impacts.

Staff motivation is badly needed for any kind of emergency response as they have to work extra hours

to meet the deadlines to complete the work with quality.

To handle complaints effectively, organisation should have policy/procedure on complaints. Initially

there was no clear policy and procedure to handle complaints but after receiving feedback from HAP

representatives CARE established a system of complain handling in field office.

Construction of experimental houses was very helpful to draw strategy for massive house

construction work. Based on the lessons leaned rest of the works completed smoothly.

Ensuring participation from the community helped a lot for effective targeting. As result, most of the

complaining issues were resolved by the community.

By following minimum Sphere standard for house construction, beneficiaries are highly satisfied with

the design of house, materials used and enough space in house for the family members.

Forming PIC committee from the beneficiaries not only ensure the quality of work it also helps buid

confidence and ownership among the community.

14. Budget and Expenditure:

The total expenditure was $ 4,544,244 against the budget $ 4,613,344, the burn rate was 99%. A part from

emergency response and rehabilitation program, CARE strengthen its capacity on preparedness for emergency

responses. CARE has stock-piled with 7,750 sets of tarpaulin (tent) which increased its capacity to cover

17,750 families for temporary shelter. After consent from USAID, this pre-positioned item is ready for any

15. Conclusions:

Food and Non-food Items distribution provided essential and immediate relief to cyclone affected families in

Bagerhat, Pirojpur and Barguna Districts. The USAID funded distribution was implemented as part of a broader

relief operation which encompassed food, water and medical needs. Appreciated quick release of fund by

USAID, CARE was able to respond effectively and efficiently.

The timely and efficient distribution of Food and NFI packages helped to ease the economic burden of

vulnerable people. Price increases in essential commodities have had a severe impact on cyclone-affected

families. Therefore the distribution of survival packages had been especially crucial in benefiting families who

have lost assets and sources of livelihood.

In addition to NFI, food, water, and medical support, CARE undertook the Cash for Work (CFW), vegetable

gardening & nursery establishment and delivered family houses that provided the beneficiaries comparative

safer houses with required space and facilities. The rain water harvesting systems created opportunities for

collecting safe water for drinking and cooking.

The quality of family housing unit construction for the family members and cyclone shelter cum schools are

highly appreciated by the beneficiaries, government officials and other stakeholders but still the need of family

houses are enormous in the affected area. When needs are huge and resources is limited may be better to

cover more families by keeping minimum standard. It was estimated that with the same resource the number of

beneficiaries could be doubled if house size is smaller (commented by the community people especially who did

not get the house). CARE needs to think further how keep in balance between numbers of families coverage

and resource allocation for each family.

One crucial note on shelter cum school, other than CARE, different NGO's and Govt. agencies have

constructed some small scale shelter cum schools in Sharankhola but still the number is microscopic. Still there

is a huge demand of such structures which serves two objectives i.e. emergency shelter and school. None the

less, CARE build shelter has a positive impact in the communities in the context of disaster preparedness and

safer schools.
