Overview

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.
