On July 21, 2000 Save the Children Honduras and USAID subscribed Donation Agreement No. 522-G-00-00-00388-00 under Project 522- 0410-3-99185, to provide support to the Post-Mitch Integral Reconstruction of the provinces of Choluteca, Valle, Intibud and Francisco Morazan, in the amount of $ 3,070,794.00. The Agreement termination date was December 21,2001.

Later on, November 14, 2000, the project amount was amended adding $ 5 7,000.00 to cover the property titling costs of the housing beneficiaries, making a total of $ 3,127,794.00. On December 20, 2001, the Agreement termination date was extended to March 31, 2002.

SCH also subscribed an Agreement with the Development Association to carry out reconstruction activities at the Municipality of Pespire, Choluteca, in the amount of $298,IOl.61.

The Project components are five: 1) Reactivation of Production; 2) Public Health: A. Community Health, and B. Reconstruction of Water and Basic Sanitation Systems; 3) Housing Construction; 4) Education; and 5) Support Local Governments Responses.

The Project began with a planning workshop attended by 10 Municipal Mayors with the purpose of prioritizing projects, and to work together in order to strengthen local governments.

All interventions were carried out jointly with the community and local governments' active participation. The interventions exceeded proposed goals and took into consideration the action roles of various organizations working with SCH, and particularly supporting health, education and production activities, such as: MEDICO, Missoula Montana, Vision Health, DERI, Salvation Army, Friends of America, southwestern University, Special Missions, PASOLAC, WFP, ASHONPLAFA, INFOP, Honduran Cross, CARITAS, Pan- American Agricultural School, Navarra Association New Future, National Teachers University, UNITEC, CARE, CHF, PRONADEL, National Police, COPECO, FUNDEMUNH, AFE-COHDEFOR, PROGOLFO and the Health, Education and Governing Secretaries. The project was implemented in selected communities in three specific geographic regions with the aim of making a larger impact. They are: South Region, Choluteca and Valle; Intibucd Region and the Central Region: Tegucigalpa and the southern area of Francisco Morazan.

The most relevant achievements are: 2,825 productive or small livestock projects, 65 Community Medications Funds (CMFs) established and operating, with an equal number of trained health volunteers in-charge, 530 health volunteers trained, 54 health centers and two hospital equipped, 15 health centers rebuilt, 84 water systems rebuilt and 7 new ones built, managed by trained Water Administration Boards, 2498 latrines built, 28 educational centers' classrooms built and 203 classrooms reconstructed, 315 classrooms equipped, 149 communities with 345 community organizations trained, 30 current groups and 60 new EDUCATODOS (Education for Everyone) groups supported, 448 new houses built and 248 rewnsttucted, 25 fordslbridge boxes built, 71.1 kilometers of rural roads improved, and 10 municipal corporations trained, with emphasis on emergency response.

Activities finished on December 31, 2001, covering 386 communities at 31 municipalities in 4 provinces, benefiting approximately 313,140 people. 11. BACKGROUND INFORMATION AND PROJECT INTERVENTIONS

The damage caused by Hurricane Mitch in SCH area of activities was overwhelming. Even though USAID, through SCH, previously provided support to these communities, reconstruction needs were so huge that they were not capable of fulfilling them on their own.

SCH anticipated a new intervention during the reconstruction process in the production, health, water and sanitation, education, community infrastructure and municipal strengthening components, hence working in a holistic manner in order to contribute improve the lives of affected population.

The project strategy focused on strengthening the holistic reconstruction work together with municipalities, teachers, leaders and beneficiary population, personnel from the Health and Education Secretaries, and partner SCH organizations in order to respond to the damages suffered by the population.

The proposed main objective was to strengthen the organization, participation and proposed capacity of municipal governments and civil society to fulfill the basic needs of those communities damaged by Hurricane Mitch.

In order to comply with the above-mentioned objective, the following interventions were defined:

1. Re-establishment of Production. Support 261 Liaison Producers (PEC's) (men and women), as well as 1305 families assisted by them, on agriculture and livestock production rehabilitation, by providing inputs, training and marketing support (organization and storage), and the implementation of 12 technologies to improve their homes, gardens, and micro watersheds, in 125 communities. Building and repairing 40 km. of roads, the reconstruction of 12 fords and 2 boxeslbridges, were also included. 2. Public Health: 2-A) Community Health: Support the integrated mother-child health programs executed by the Secretary of Health by improving and equipping 35 health centers; training 501 community volunteers in their particular fields; establishing 29 new Community Medications Funds, and carrying out 90 community medical brigades, through which we intended to improve access to health services. 2 b) Reconstruction of Water and Sanitation Systems: with the community participation, 85 potable water system and 1175 latrines were rebuilt. Water Administration Boards and Regional Councils were strengthened through training on: o peration and maintenance, calculation of fees, chlorination, sanitary education, and the preservation of micro watersheds, benefiting 85 communities.

3. Housing Construction. Building andlor improvement of 850 family homes damaged by Hurricane Mitch. The beneficiaries themselves carried out these building and improvement activities.

4. Education. Support 69 Educational Centers, 90 EDUCATODOS centers and train 70 teachers in 49 communities, and 65 school- parent's association on education quality. Community organizations in 120 communities were also trained on leadership and holistic development.

5. Support Local Government Responses. Support local governments through training, in order to improve their decision- making process, the planning and prioritization of integral development activities with community participation, and improve municipal resources administration, as well.

Project Location: project activity areas were selected in three specific geographic zones so as to make greater impact. These are: South Region, Choluteca and Valle; lntibuca Region, and Central Region: Tegucigalpa and the southern area of Francisco Morazan.

Ill. RESULTS ACHIEVED IN THE DIFFERENT COMPONENTS

As an initial step to execute the project, a workshop on activities planning was held with the project personnel and municipal mayors of

4 the project area of service. 10 mayors from the municipalities most affected by the Hurricane attended the workshop. Projects' activities were also programmed and scheduled. Municipal Majors selected the training topics for local governments according to their own needs. The topic on "Response to Emergency Situations" was requested by 10 of them.

The signature of an agreement with SANAA (National Waterworks and Sewer Systems Service) was another important action carried out, and SCH was authorized to withdraw from the warehouse at El Progreso pipes and accessories procured with USAlD funds. These materials were used to rebuild the water and sanitation systems.

1. Reactivation of Production

With the purpose to reincorporate families affected by Hurricane Mitch to the productive system, we worked with them on agriculture as well as on livestock projects, providing technical assistance and training. The families benefited had lost their production and livestock: goats, pigs and chickens. Guidance was provided on the use of technologies to improve their homes, and gardens, as well as on production improvement, soil preservation, vaccination control and small livestock feeding.

SCH has Volunteer Liaison Farmers working for the communities, who additionally to being community leaders are responsible for assisting families by reproducing the knowledge acquired, hence multiplying technologies to a larger number of families. These farmers were the community coordinators of this component's activities, and provided assistance to an average of five families.

179 families were supported with poultry projects, 68 with pig projects and 35 with goat projects. Initially the goat projects target was larger, but families experienced difficulties obtaining forage such as pulses, gramineous or grass. Due to the drought the country suffered during the year 2001, these crops were not cultivated or developed. For this reason the beneficiaries requested to change the goat projects to pig or poultry raising. Therefore, goat projects were only implemented with families having adequate forage production conditions. To build the required structures, the project contributed with non-local materials, such as: cement, roof tiles, nails; and according to the families' individual needs, they were given: 10 hens, 2 pigs or 2 goats.

Poultry projects were supported with the first dose of small pox and Newcastle poultry vaccines. A sanitary schedule was established for each project for the use of each benefited farmer. The procurement of chicks for the poultry projects was coordinated with the Pan-American Agricultural School at El .

With the purpose of improving production, 109 model plots were implemented. The main technologies applied were: distribution and spacing of crops, living and man-made barriers, layer till and stubble management, combining most of them with maize and cowpea. They also received seeds for the cultivation of maize and layer till, vegetative material for living barriers, organic fertilizers and technical assistance.

Regarding basic grains, many problems were faced as some of the farmers who sowed when it first started to rain experienced problems later on due to the lack of water as a result of a severe drought. For this reason most basic grains were planted during the last harvest season. Support was provided to a total of 364 families through seeds and technical assistance with PASOLAC cooperation, and the initial target of 11 1 basic grains plots was exceeded.

With the purpose of preventing post-harvest losses, 184 farmers were supported with metal silos and trained on their use, and the adequate locating of these silos in their properties.

Specifically i n the Province of Intibuca where potato is produced, 6 0 families were provided potato seeds, organic fertilizers and technical assistance.

In order to support the rehabilitation of the vegetable and fruit production activities of families affected by the Hurricane, 323 vegetable plots were implemented: carrots, broccoli, cucumber, radish, pepper, squash, pumpkin, cowpea and zucchini; also 338 families were benefited with fruit grafts appropriate for the area, such as: mangoes, avocado, Persian lemon, Valencia orange, Indian lemon, wild cherry, and apples. Additionally to the garden and trees activities, families were provided technical assistance on management. Vegetable gardens were implemented at the schools and cared for by children at the higher grades.

To establish model plots, 114 liaison producers were selected and at least 12 technologies implemented. Model plots objective is to serve as model areas and transfer the technology acquired to other families within the community. Furthermore, we worked with the producers in the preparation of a farm plan, taking into consideration the land, the human, economic and natural resources, and the current situation. A two years projection was also prepared.

Technologies most commonly used in the model farms were: improved ovens, kitchen cabinets, h encoops, s mall l ivestock sanitary measures, metal silos, distribution and spacing of crops, living barriers, fruit trees management, seed selection, family gardens, diversification of crops and curved seeding.

Liaison producers were supported with 39 backpack pumps to strengthen model farms work, as well as that of families assisted.

With the purpose of supporting the above-mentioned activities. 245 tool sets were given to Liaison Producers and 195 to families supported, particularly producers of basic grains, fruit trees, vegetables, and implementing model plots.

As a strategy to improve health among the families affected by Hurricane Mitch, the construction of kitchen cabinets and improved ovens was encouraged, contributing to reduce the use of firewood, acute respiratory diseases and improving hygiene habits at home.

The fact that natural phenomena have a devastating effect due to environmental degradation and as a result of deforestation, was stressed to highlight the importance of improved ovens. 674 improved ovens and 350 kitchen cabinets were built.

EMI-FLEX p umps were provided, as they a re easy to make a nd the necessary materials are available at local hardware stores. This activity had not been programmed. Producers in the South area with access to water from excavated wells were selected, so as to have the required conditions to implement small irrigation systems for vegetable and fruit plantations. This solution was quite effective in view of the severe drought the country confronted in the year 2001, and which according to current forecasts will persevere until 2002.

Producers were trained on the use and maintenance of these pumps, which will contribute to make this type of projects more sustainable. The only problem for increasing the use of these pumps is the lack of water sources in the South area.

For this component we counted on the financial and programmatic support of the US organization, Amigos de las Americas, integrated by young volunteers who visited the communities and collaborated with the implementation of fruit and vegetable farming, the construction of improved ovens and kitchen cabinets, thus contributing considerably to the achievement of the proposed goals.

Another important collaborator was PASOLAC that provided seeds to implement basic grains plots.

Training was provided to the producers on different topics, so that they will be able to obtain improved yields from their agriculture and livestock activities within this component, contributing to the sustainability of technologies. The methodology was provided through theoretical and practical lessons using the producers' farms, and putting into practice activities related to the training in-site, with the active involvement of the producers.

Training was provided to liaison producers and farmer families through: 8 sessions on poultry management, 2 on pigs managements, 4 on goats management, 9 on basic grains storage in silos, 11 on oven construction, 7 on manufacturing kitchen cabinets, 9 on fruit trees planting, 9 o n vegetables farming, 6 on basic grains, 8 on nurseries and 6 on soil preservation technologies.

8,385 people were benefited through the component reactivation of production. 2. Public Health

A. Community Health

The following interventions were executed in order to support the activities of the Secretary of Health in the communities affected by Hurricane Mitch, and enable people's improved access to better quality health services:

Management of Child Prevalent Diseases

In coordination with the Secretary of Health staff, community personnel were trained on the management of child prevalent diseases in the communities. This way the attention provided at health centers as well as in the community is of a higher quality.

530 volunteers were trained, including mother-child counselors, pneumonia management volunteers, midwives and health volunteers.

66 training sessions were conducted on the following topics: Acute Respiratory Infections (ARls) management, acute diarrhea management, parasite diseases, immunization, breastfeeding, prenatal care, childbirth attention, diagnostic and treatment of common diseases, reproductive health, reproductive risks, transmission by vectors, hygienic measures, use of medicinal plants, blood pressure, AIDSTTB, dengue, intravenous fluids, and domestic violence. In all training sessions the method for the referral of patients to health centers was dealt with.

As an additional activity to help reduce mother mortality, 90 midwives were provided with a basic set of materials to manage childbirths under more hygienic conditions, benefiting both the mother and the baby.

The good relationship between SCH, health volunteers and the Secretary of Health personnel allowed the inclusion of other topics to the training originally programmed. As a result health volunteers' knowledge was strengthened, contributing to provide better health attention to the community. Primary Attention to Community Services: Community Medications Funds (CMFs)

The strategy of the Community Medications Funds (CMFs) is a resourceful access to fulfill and attend community primary health needs.

We worked with 65 funds managed by equal number of volunteers, who attend community cases of child prevalent diseases, childbearing age women with reproductive health services needs, distribute contraceptives and oral rehydration solutions, and are able to provide first aid assistance. The CMFs also sell basic medications at a lower cost than that of local pharmacies.

Volunteers received 23 training sessions, with emphasis on children prevalent diseases and case referrals to health centers, when so required, being an effective strategy for AlEPl (Integral Attention to Children Prevalent Diseases).

Additionally to training activities, funds were provided to procure printed forms and basic furniture, including the capital seed for medications.

Training provided on funds management and basic accounting was very important. It included a logbook to register patients, sale of medicines, requests for new purchases, and the certification of medicines enabling their sustainability.

65 Community Medications Funds were established in 65 communities that were provided with office stationery, calculators, first aid kits, a table and chair, using project funds. Save the Children financed the basic medication's package. The Annex includes a list of the medications provided to the CMFs. The prospective number of people attending CMFs is 21,455.

Aside from the Secretary of Health personnel, training activities were coordinated with ASHONPLAFA, especially regarding reproductive health services, with the purpose of avoiding duplication of actions and achieving a larger coverage. Access to Skilled Health Services

Due to the fact that Secretary of Health hospitals and health centers are responsible for most corrective health actions in the project area of activities, particularly mother-child population, we intended to provide them the necessary equipment to help reduce morbi-mortality cases in this population group, so that the Secretary of Health personnel could be able to provide better quality attention.

In this respect, health centers were effectively provided equipment according to the needs jointly identified by personnel of the Secretary of Health and Save the Children. The equipment procured consisted of: pedestal and hand sphygmomanometers, scales with tally, baby scales, manual and electric nebulizers, minor surgery equipment, manual and electric sterilizers, 2-step ladders, oto-ophthalmoscopes, stethoscopes, tape measures, chronometers, Mayo instruments table, desk, glucometer, speculum and recipients to keep sterilized materials.

The Spanish organization, Navarra New Future, also donated some clinic tables, Salter and pediatric scales, sphygmomanometers, stethoscopes, Doppler, glucometer, oto-ophthalmoscopes, goose neck lamp and surgery and nebulizer masks.

Considering that the cost of the medical equipment was lower in view of the large quantity purchased, and that the Navarra organization also donated medical equipment, we exceed the initial goal of 35 centers and were able to equip 54 Health Centers and 2 Hospitals.

15 health centers affected by Hurricane Mitch were rebuilt. This activity was coordinated with the Secretary of Health personnel and community members. Three located in Francisco Morazan, one in Choluteca, 9 in Valle and 2 in El Paraiso. Communities contributed with local materials and non-skilled labor hand, and municipalities with transportation and local materials.

The following interventions were carried out in El Paraiso: three health centers were equipped, a CMF established and health volunteers trained. The benefited health centers cover an area of approximately 243,737 inhabitants. See the names of the Centers provided support in the Annexes.

As another strategy to increase population's access to corrective as well as preventive health services, several medical brigades were carried out in the communities. Medical brigades were also carried out during the Hurricane emergency, as roads were badly damaged and it was difficult for community people to access health centers.

Personnel mobilization costs were covered from USAlD funds, and SCH paid for the medications procured. We also coordinated with three USA volunteer organizations: MEDICO, Missoula Montana and Vision Health, and they sent medical doctors, nurses and medicines to the communities within the project area of activities. Additionally to providing medical attention, the volunteers and Save the Children personnel provided counseling to mothers.

The most common diseases diagnosed were: Acute Respiratory Infections-ARlS (pharynges-tonsillitis, allergic rhinitis, ear infections, rhino-pharyngitis, common colds and others); diarrhea and intestinal parasites; anemia syndrome, dermatitis, gastritis, and eye diseases, such as: pterigion, glaucoma, conjunctivitis, and blurred vision. Eyeglasses were also given to those people requiring them.

A total of 99 medical brigades were carried out in 52 communities, and attention was provided to 8,899 people.

Through the activities carried out the following was achieved: institutional and community personnel trained, opening of c ommunity primary attention centers (Community Medications Funds), improved access to institutional and community health services, and implementation of community and institutional AlEPl strategies. Also the attention and referral of women with reproductive health needs was increased. B. Rehabilitation of Water and Sanitation Systems

The damages caused by Hurricane Mitch in the water and sanitation systems resulted not only in deficient water supply, but also in poor water quality. The mudslides, which affected collecting works, destroyed the river crossings and damaged storage tanks, are vulnerable contamination sources, which harmfully affect health, particularly that of children.

Among the damaged systems are those that were built by SCH with USAlD funds under Project Health Sector II, in coordination with SANAA.

Within this component a diagnosis was made on water systems coordinating with SANAA the selection of communities in order to prevent duplication of actions, as SANAA also reconstructed some systems with USAlD funds.

Once SANAA approved the projects, and as authorized, we proceeded to withdraw material from El Progreso warehouse, which had availability of materials only until the end of 2000.

Materials not available at the warehouse, such as PVC pipes, were purchased directly by SCH, as the warehouse run out during the first semester of the year 2001.

Communities provided non-skilled labor hand and local materials for the reconstruction of the systems. The project provided the remaining materials and skilled or qualified manpower, which were required for its execution. The municipal government provided transportation and local materials. For the construction of latrines, the beneficiaries provided manpower, excavating the pits and building the booths.

Water Administration Boards were organized in those communities lacking them. The already existing Boards were strengthened through training on issues that contribute to an adequate operation and maintenance of the systems, thus enabling their sustainability. Training topics provided to 335 members of the Water Administration Boards were: water and sanitation systems structure, Water Administration Boards Regulations, systems management and calculation of fees, water quality and chlorination, sanitary education, basic plumbing and watersheds protection.

Regional Water Councils organized by SCH in lntibuca, Pespire, San Lorenzo and Sabanagrande were strengthened. Regional Councils assemble Water Administration Boards according to their geographic location. Their objectives are: to strengthen water boards, establish relation and cooperation links between communities, especially micro watersheds that influence many systems, carry out audits, coordination of actions for procurement of chlorine, pipes and accessories in order to get better prices.

Six training sessions were provided to 84 regional council members aimed at the fulfillment of their objectives and the consolidation of councils. Emphasis was made on projects management for micro watersheds protection, calculation of fees to enable sustainability, and good water quality.

Chlorine banks were established at the different regional councils, as potable water is of vital importance to reduce diseases caused by the consumption of contaminated water.

Four training events were provided to 67 plumbers, to give them with the necessary knowledge for the adequate operation and maintenance of the water and sanitation systems, in coordination with INFOP.

With the aim to standardize and improve technical personnel actions related to community participation and training for the construction and sustainability of the water and sanitation systems. SANAA in coordination with USAlD held a workshop attended by 7 project technicians.

A particular important achievement in this component was the revision of fees by the communities. Many new fees were approved according to actual requirements, which is a basic element for the systems sustainability.

84 water systems were reconstructed and 7 new ones built in 91 communities, benefiting 36,125 people; 2,438 latrines were also built, benefiting 14,947 people. The total beneficiaries of the public health component were 302,103 people.

3. Housing and Community Infrastructure

Housing

For the constructionlimprovement of housing a diagnosis was made jointly with the municipalities to select those families whose homes were damaged by Hurricane Mitch, and also to fulfill USAlD requisites regarding environmental considerations.

One of the requisites was to have legal documents on land tenancy or titling. Due to the high cost that obtaining these documents implied, USAlD granted an additional $ 57,000 to comply with this process, as this expenditure was not anticipated in the initial budget.

When initially planning this activity goal, a higher rate for housing improvement was considered. After completing the diagnosis with the municipalities, as well as the selection of families that were able to obtain their property documents, it was perceived that building requirements were higher than improvement needs. For these reasons the budget estimated by SCH for improvements did not cover new construction costs. Based on this situation, we requested USAlD to reduce the foreseen goal of 850 houses to 651. It was approved.

The role of the municipalities was crucial in obtaining the legalization of properties. After performing a valuation of the lands, they approved property titling at municipal corporation meetings, which were registered accordingly at the corresponding Property Registration office.

The type of houses built or improved varied according to the beneficiaries' economic capacity. There are houses of bahareque (mud or clay mixed with grass), brick or block walls. The cement, rods, roof tiles, nails and wood for the ceiling were purchased with project funds. Beneficiaries contributed with skilled labor hand and local materials, such as: sand, grave, stone and wall materials, according to each type of construction: bahareque, bricks or blocks.

The homes were provided with basic water and sanitation services and incorporated to the community water system. In the case of La Finca, a community of 40 houses, CARITAS built 30, and the other 10 were built with USAlD and SCH funding. The houses were relocated and, as a support to the project, San Lorenzo municipality granted the land. The water system in this community was reconstructed with project funds.

We worked with the beneficiaries who were organized. A community coordinator was named, who together with SCH, coordinated the procurement of materials, and provided support to follow-up on the reconstruction activities in order to complete the projected goal.

448 new homes were built: 56 in lntibuca, 242 in Valle and 103 in Choluteca, and 248 improved: 14 in lntibuca, 32 in Francisco Morazan, 99 in Valle and 150 in Choluteca, therefore benefiting 3,816 people with 696 homes, in 119 communities.

Community Infrastructure

To help improve access roads in the communities affected by the Hurricane, to facilitate people to carry their products to the market, attend education and h ealth centers or travel to their j obs, d amaged infrastructure was improved. These projects were jointly selected with the municipalities.

A total of 19 fords were built: 6 in Francisco Morazan, 6 in Valle and 7 in Choluteca, for a total of 243.60 lineal meters, benefiting 6,046 people in 9 communities; 3 bridge boxes were built in lntibuca and 3 in Valle, totaling 118 lineal meters, benefiting 5,505 people in 6 communities.

71.1 km of rural roads were improved, 3 km in lntibuca, 21.1 km in Francisco Morazan and 47 in Choluteca. Cobble stoning was not foreseen, but to support the communities, 401.4 lineal meters were cobble stoning. A total of 15,129 people were benefited in 29 communities. ADEPES coordinated with the WFP the improvement of roads through the food-for-work program in the Municipality of Pespire, Choluteca.

Two training sessions on Improvement and Maintenance of Rural Roads were held and 6 communities participated: 26 men and 6 women.

The total beneficiaries of the housing and community infrastructure component were 27,796 people.

4. Education

Reconstructing, Improving and Equipping Educational Centers

Educational centers directly damaged by Hurricane Mitch, or used as shelters for hurricane victims, were selected.

Regarding schools, three classrooms were reconstructed: one in lntibuca and two in Valle. 165 classrooms were repaired: 10 in Intibuca, 40 in Francisco Morazan, 103 in Valle and 12 in Choluteca. A total of 56 schools, 9,495 children and 56 communities were benefited.

Non-Formal Pre-School Education Centers (CEPENFs) and Kindergartens were also supported. 14 CEPENFIKindergartens classrooms were rebuilt: 5 in lntibuca, 3 in Valle and 6 in Choluteca. 27 classrooms were repaired: one in Intibuca, 3 in Francisco Morazan and 23 in Valle. Through this 1,529 children in 38 communities were benefited.

Regarding high schools and basic educational centers, two classrooms were rebuilt in Valle, and 11 repaired: 2 in Francisco Morazan and 9 in Valle, benefiting 595 youngsters in 5 communities.

In general, repairs made to educational centers consisted of: changing roofs, i mproving walls and floors, changing windows, building fences and gates, building latrines and connecting potable water, access sidewalks, repairing kitchens, and developing small play grounds. At the Kindergartens and CEPENFs, murals were painted with kids' patterns. In some centers the electric system was also improved.

233 school classrooms, 69 CEPENFIKindergarten classroom and 13 high schoolIBasic Educational Center classrooms were provided furniture and educational material to improve their conditions.

The type of furniture used consists of three-space tables and individual chairs provided by USAlD Education Department. Different size sets were built according to school levels: pre-school, 1'' to 3Fd.grade and 4" to 6" grade, making minor changes before final production. The following school sets were provided: 347 for preschool, 650 for primary schools (1-6 grade), and 104 individual desks for basic centers.

Classrooms were also equipped as per their particular needs with: desks and chairs for the teachers, bookshelves, filing cabinets and closets for educational material. Furniture was provided to La Venta high school for their Dressmaking and Sewing Workshop.

The American organization "DERI" financed part of the construction of the Kindergarten in the community of El Jobo, and one classroom in the community of Agua Zarca, both located in the San Lorenzo municipality. The Salvation Army supported the construction of 3 school and 3 Kindergarten classrooms at the Municipality of Pespire, Choluteca. The US organization "Special Missionsn granted the furniture for a Kindergarten and a CEPENF in lntibuca.

This combination of funds made it possible for us to exceed our goals, in this way benefiting a larger number of children.

Training Teachers and School Parents' Associations

The school parents' associations and teachers supported the educational centers rebuilding activities with local material as well as non-skilled manpower.

In order to improve education quality and contribute to the maintenance of educational centers, teachers and school parents' associations received training on these topics. Regardless of the teachers strike, training was provided to 230 CEPENF teacherslvolunteers through 16 sessions, and to 1,072 members of 83 school parents' associations from different educational centers, through 18 sessions.

Some of the topics of the training provided to school and kindergarten teachers, and CEPENF volunteers are:

Learning problems Educational Management Approaching learning problematic Active-participatory methodology Teaching methodology Education quality Handiwork Preparation of educational material Child drawing techniques

Training events developed by school parents' associations:

Father's role on education Children's rights Parents' school Participatory planning Holistic health Health and Nutrition

It is worth mentioning that meetings were frequently held with school parents' association to organize and plan their participation in repairing and rebuilding educational centers and counseling them on the centers' maintenance.

An encounter was carried out with children school defenders to: promote their work, encourage their participation, teach them about the role of municipal authorities, and train them on natural disasters prevention. 85 students, 85 teachers and school parents attended this encounter. We also had the support of the District Office staff, Children Municipal Defenders and the Local Government. Training to Community Organizations

1,908 members from 346 community organizations located in 150 communities, were trained. Some of the topics developed were:

Community Organization Social Motivation Diagnosis of Needs and Project Planning Organizational Management Leadership Self-esteem Parliamentary Rules Gender Citizens Participation Child Abuse Internal Regulations Participatory Planning Communication General Administration Political Participation and Local Development Organization for Construction of Community Projects

Community organizations' involvement in the various activities was very important to achieve project goals.

Activities were coordinated with: the Secretary of Education through the Provincial Branch, specifically with the Municipal government, INFOP, CHF, National Teachers University and community organizations.

EDUCATODOS

We worked with 30 established literacy groups and in the organization of 20 new groups in lntibuca, where SCH in coordination with Educatodos has been supporting literacy activities among adults and young people. In Sabanagrande area, where the Educatodos program has not been incorporated, 40 groups were organized. The groups were provided with tape-recorders, and they received their lessons through cassettes recorded at the Educatodos office. They also provided the educational material.

Originally tape-recorders batteries were provided by the project, but later on the educational centers' members provided them. This shows a clear idea of the groups sustainability.

91 facilitators were trained on the use and management of texts to support and follow-up on the Centers. Educatodos personnel, together with SCH personnel were responsible for the training.

Two sharing experiences were developed among Educatodos groups, attended by 13 men and 30 women, with the purpose of strengthening and given a feedback on the groups' work. A lecture on human relations was provided, as well.

Additionally to level 1 to 6, we also worked with the 7" level in lntibuca. Altogether we worked with 90 Centers in 52 communities. The initial enrollment was of 1,744 people, 1,612 completed the course. Educatodos staff evaluated 569 people who completed the courses, 519 approved. The evaluation of the last courses was made in February 2002, but to date we still do not have final data.

The project goals regarding Educatodos Centers included only lntibuca and Francisco Morazan. To additionally support the Province of Valle, which was severely hit by Mitch, 15 Educatodos centers were provided educational material with SCH funds.

The total beneficiaries in the education component were 17,145 people.

5. Municipal Strengthening

This component's objective is to: contribute with municipal government to reinforce their knowledge on planning, projects prioritization, administration, integral development and responding to disaster situations, focused on community strengthening and the incorporation of communities through Local Development Committees. Also establish a work unit, in coordination with the communities benefited, within the Reconstruction Project to carry out a more efficient and top quality work.

The accompaniment process of the municipalities in this project enabled their active involvement integrated to the communities, which leads to the sustainability of the project activities.

The local governments integrated from the planning and diagnostic phase, defining the training topics that were to be reinforced to obtain better response from their communities. The following 10 municipalities participated in the training: Yamaranguila. Masaguara, Jesus de Otoro and lntibuca in lntibuca. , and Sabanagrande in Francisco Morazan. Pespire and San lsidro en Choluteca; and San Lorenzo in Valle.

Training was provided on:

Population Census Strategic Planning Emergency Situations Response Emergency Community Plans Citizens Participation Forestry Legislation and Environment Project Management and Formulation Organizational Records Municipal Administration Municipal Projects Management Citizens Safety Micro Watersheds Protection and Legislation Water Administration Boards Organization Municipal Legislation Services Delivery and Quality Resources Administration and Efficiency Local Development Committees Organization Human Relations Customer Service 77 training sessions were conducted for municipality personnel and community leaders, totaling 685 participants, 400 of which are community leaders who participate in decision-making in their communities.

ADEPES, project sub-donor in Pespire, coordinated with CHF the training on Emergency Response provided to communities inhabitants living in areas vulnerable to natural disasters. 945 people from 38 communities were trained.

SCH promoted an encounter with students, teachers and school parents, and 256 people were trained on Response to Disasters.

In summary 1700 people were trained to encourage actions to respond to emergency situations. Community emergency committees were organized in coordination with local governments and community risk maps were prepared.

Additionally to the 10 municipalities strengthened through training, project activities were also carried out in some other municipalities where coordination mechanisms were established, and support for execution provided. The project developed activities in 31 municipalities: Intibuca, Masaguara, Yamaranguila, and Jesus de Otoro in lntibuca; Sabanagrande, Nueva Armenia, Lepaterique, Curaren, Santa Ana, the Central District, , , San Buena Ventura, La Venta del Sur, , and Alubaren in Francisco Morazan; San Lorenzo, Nacaome, , and Langue in Valle; and Pespire, San Isidro, San Jose, , , Concepcidn de Maria, Choluteca, , Yusguare, , and San Marcos de Colon in Choluteca.

Municipalities were incorporated to project activities from beginning to end. Their participation is evident in the execution of all components. The Municipalities' Cadastre office contributed to expedite procedures to obtain property titling, and Mayors personally made some opportune arrangements when deemed necessary. The municipal counterpart supported communities in the execution of infrastructure projects by procuring water sources, purchasing land, and providing local materials and transportation. Inter-institutional coordination existed particularly with UNITEC, National Police, CHF, COPECO, FUNDEMUNH, AFE-COHDEFOR, PROGOLFO, Education and Governing Secretaries, and INFOP.

A total of 1,700 people were trained in this component.

IV. ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS

USAID environmental guidelines were considered for the construction of infrastructures, as follows:

1. Housing Construction.

In the communities where homes were builtlimproved, the registration forms included in USAlD housing construction environmental guidelines, were completed. The beneficiaries' properties fulfilled the following requirements: they were not located in risk areas, had a minimum slope, and access to water and sanitation services. Most houses were relocated in community land, and connected to the existing water system; latrines were also built. The water systems of the homes relocated in new areas such as La Finca in San Lorenzo and La Joyada in Marcovia, were built with USAlD funds.

2. Educational and Health Centers

Environmental guidelines were fulfilled for the construction of new educational centers, particularly regarding instructions on drainage and batter protection.

In the new and rebuilt health and education centers, training was provided to community organizations responsible for maintenance, focusing on the adequate disposal of solid waste. None of these centers are located in risk zones and the damages suffered previously were due to heavy rainfall and inadequate drainage.

Likewise, the new classrooms at the educational centers complied with building specifications regarding structure, including iron frames to prevent damages in case of a quake. 3. Water and Sanitation Systems

We worked with Water Administration Boards creating awareness on the improvement of water quality by protecting watersheds and chlorinating water. There were cases where watersheds suffered landslides thus contaminating the water. Communities purchased new water sources with clean water.

All Water Administration Boards within the project scope were trained on watersheds management and preservation. Reforestation activities were also carried out to prevent erosion and potential landslides.

4. Road Infrastructure

Regarding the construction of roads and fords, the necessary protection was developed to prevent slides and land depressions that might pose a risk for the conservation of the infrastructure. Community leaders were trained on maintenance to prevent a future damage to the environment.

V. CONCLUSIONS

We can deduce from the execution of the project that:

Strengthening local governments enabled a more proficient response and built a closer relationship with community leaders. thus contributing to the projects' sustainability.

Organized communities were encouraged to cany out a more arduous work, taking into account that they provided the manpower and financial assistance for the project activities.

Relationships with other organizations allowed us to exceed our goals, without duplication of actions and maximizing the use of resources.

Project's counterparts greatly exceeded programmed activities, which indicates that the local governments have created awareness and are working towards their development. L The integration of SCH, USAID, the Municipalities, partner organization and communities' staff enabled the achievement of 3 major targets without affecting their importance, in a short time period due to the extent of activities.
