The Fund's Objectives
The objectives of the fund are to:
- Support the rehabilitation of occupations,
livelihoods, communities, natural resources and the environment.
- Build the capacity of communities in community-based
natural resource management.
The Fund's Administration and Management
A 7-member committee of non-governmental
and academic individuals administers the fund. The committee
sets, and reviews, the fund's rules and regulations as well
as the fund's guidelines for the provision of support.
The committee reviews, and rejects or approves,
proposals for support. It monitors and evaluates the management
and spending of projects supported by the fund.
Community organizations will manage and implement
their own projects. The management and implementation of projects
by other related groups will be closely supervised by the
committee.
The Fund's Guidelines for the Provision
of Support
The fund will provide support to community
organizations or other related groups or networks for:
- Occupational development.
- Community development.
- Natural resource rehabilitation.
- Natural resource management.
In the short term, the fund will support
immediate relief for tsunami-affected communities, e.g. repairing
or replacing fishing boats and fishing gears to support livelihoods.
The fund will support communities who have
yet to receive adequate immediate relief. In the medium term,
any money from the fund or from the government that has not
been used for immediate relief will be made available for
long-term rehabilitation activities.
In the long term, the fund will support natural
resource rehabilitation and natural resource management by
tsunami-affected communities.
Only proposals from community organizations
and other related groups and networks are considered, i.e.
proposals from individuals are not considered.
The Fund's Guidelines for Submitting Proposals
Community organizations and other related
groups and networks are invited to submit proposals for the
committee's consideration. All proposals must be consistent
with the fund's objectives and the fund's guidelines for the
provision of support as outlined above.
All proposals must detail:
- Person in overall charge.
- Other persons' roles and responsibilities.
- Activities to be carried out.
- Expected outputs.
- Approach for ensuring adequate monitoring.
- Approach for ensuring community development
is sustainable.
- Approach for ensuring natural resource
management is sustainable.
The Fund's Process for Project Approval
The committee will ensure a taskforce participates
in the consideration and approval of all submitted proposals.
