  • Maldives Four Years After the Tsunami
    Maldives - 4 Years after the tsunami Progress and remaining gaps Department of National Planning Ministry of Finance and Treasury Republic of Maldives July 2009 2 Executive Summary | Ministry of Finance and Treasury - Department of National Planning Executive Summary In the four years since the tsunami, much has been accomplished to provide its survivors first with basic needs and then with the resources to restart their lives. Most of the physical infrastructure will be finished in 2009 and tsunami resources have enabled notable improvements in health and education. The challenging housing sector was brought under control and most of the remaining work will be completed in the year as well. Large-scale disruptions to livelihoods and the economy were mitigated. Lasting improvements made in disaster risk reduction policies, institutions and systems will increase resilience to future crises. Although the speed and scope of recovery in the Maldives has been impressive, a number of problems caused or worsened by the tsunami have not yet been resolved and remain priorities for government and its partners: The vital needs of water and sanitation and reconstruction of remaining infrastructure for harbours and jetties remain unfinished priorities highlighted in the analysis. Additionally, the relocation of entire island populations is clearly a complex undertaking. Completing the last of the housing and resettling remaining displaced persons (IDPs) will require attention to such details as livelihoods and social arrangements on the islands. It is inevitable that some of these processes will lag into 2010 while currently unfunded sanitation and harbour infrastructure projects will need to extend even further into the future.

    Maldives ADOPT AN ISLAND An International Appeal to Help Communities Rebuild their Lives A silent disaster is emerging in the Maldives. More than a month since the tsunami devasted one-third of the nation’s inhabited islands, thousands of people are still unable to return to their communities, as insufficient funds are avaliable to cover the very basic human need for shelter. News about the extensive devastation of the Maldives has not adequately reached donor countries or the global public oppinion— this is being described by those bearing witness as the silent disaster. Recovery begins with a home. Therefore, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP), with support from the Government of the Maldives, offers private donors an opportunity to directly support communities to rebuild their homes by participating in the ADOPT AN ISLAND initiative. In the Maldives, building a home takes a lifetime. If, for example, a family has a good fishing season, the extra money is normally used to add more room to their dwelling. In this way, people build their homes: room by room, year by year. The tsunami swept away these decades of progress in a matter of minutes. Shelter on the Moldivian islands is about lives and livelihood. A home kitchen is a productive unit where women process and dry fish for sale or to feed their family. A home’s roof is a lifeline – collecting rainwater in dispensers for drinking. The Government estimates that one-third of the population was severely affected. Of the 199 inhabited islands, 13 were abandoned, while 53 were severely damaged: public buildings ruined, water and sanitation systems gone, livelihoods shattered.

  • Maldives: Shelter
    SOUTH/SOUTHEAST ASIA & EAST AFRICA: EARTHQUAKE AND TSUNAMIS Fact sheet No. 35 – updated 7 May 2008 SHELTER Introduction From the very onset of the tsunami response, the International Federation of the Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies has maintained the importance of recovery, that simply building houses was not an option unless it is accompanied by waste water infrastructure, access to health care and education, and employment opportunities to thrive. The initial years of being plagued by land titles in Aceh, logistical hurdles in Maldives, and land allocation in Sri Lanka, have been overcome. Some of the challenges which hinder the handover of completed houses are the slow pace of infrastructure development, such as roads, access to water and sanitation, and electricity. A child from Aceh Utara shows the keys to her new home provided by the Hong Kong branch of the Red Cross Society of China. HKRC/Robert Li The International Federation’s transitional shelter project in Aceh has drawn to a close while permanent housing construction continues to move ahead in Maldives and Sri Lanka. More than 80 percent of the 51,000 houses being built by the Movement are now either completed or under construction and thousands of families are now settled in the new homes. Indonesia: Rebuilding houses and providing homes As one of the main player in the tsunami operation, the Red Cross Red Crescent Movement (the Movement) continues its shelter programme in Aceh province and Nias Island, Indonesia, benefiting the affected communities with transitional and permanent shelters. The disaster posed a great challenge for the Movement in fulfilling the community’s needs for homes after the emergency phase.
