Since January, 2005, there has
been positive progress during the last three months in the
project implementation. The financial contributions and support
of a range of organisations has contributed greatly to the
network in providing relief support to the affected marginalized
groups notably, the small-scale fisherfolks. Firstly, it has
provided support with vocational relief for small-scale fisherfolks
in repairing damaged fishing boats and fishing gears in the
targeted 124 fishing villages across the six affected provinces.
Secondly, the fund has also contributed to the development
of an information system which serves as a basis for project
management and development as well as a tool for communicating
the work of the NGO to the public sector. In line with these
activities, the support has enhanced the opportunity for the
network to be able to work at the policy level in monitoring
and advocating the government's policy with specific issues
of sustainable rehabilitation during the tsunami aftermath.
Furthermore, the support received has allowed effective and
continuous coordination among different networks of marginalized
groups such as children, women, migrant workers and small-scale
fisherfolks.

The recent rehabilitation effort has been
characterized by the further mobilization of tsunami-affected
communities into organized community groups, building in many
cases on the presence of existing groups such as community
savings groups and small-scale fisherfolk groups, societies
and networks. These organized community groups have been assessing
the damage to livelihood tools such as fishing boats, boat
engines and fishing gears. Armed with this information, they
have been requesting financial assistance from the Community
Support Fund of Save Andaman Network and The Collaborative
Network, often in the form of a contribution to a revolving
fund that has been set up within their community specifically
to support tsunami rehabilitation activities. The revolving
funds are mostly managed by the local community groups, under
the general agreement that duplicated assistance later received
from the government will be returned to the revolving fund
for the benefit of other community members.
Most of the work so far has been to repair
or rebuild fishing boats and fishing gears, or to purchase
new boats and gears where repair or rebuilding is impossible.
This has included the purchasing of materials and wood to
allow the repair of gears and boats, repair work that has
occasionally begun in the temporary camps where many villagers
have taken shelter. Many small boatyards have also been built,
and equipped with the necessary tools and equipment, to facilitate
the repair of boats and gears. Some of the boatyards are static,
others are mobile, but many are able to serve the needs of
more than one community. A lack of sufficient numbers of skilled
boat builders has sometimes been a problem.
Many families have already been helped in
the ways outlined above. Often the focus, decided by the communities
themselves, has been to help the poorest or worst hit individuals
first, or else to look for opportunities for boat sharing,
where more than one family can benefit from the use of just
one boat. In this way, many families have had their livelihoods
restored to some degree. Outside of the repair and rebuilding
of livelihood tools, in some areas other work such as the
establishment or rehabilitation of freshwater wells, or the
rebuilding of schools, has begun. Some communities have also
been helped by groups other than Save Andaman Network and
The Collaborative Network, including public sector groups
such as tourists, who have provided both material and practical
assistance. However, many more families are still in need
of further help, and to facilitate this further financial
support is being requested from Save Andaman Network and The
Collaborative Network.

Sunday 16th January 2005
The affected communities, unable to await
the assistance of others, have begun mobilizing themselves
and forming community organizations. They have linked with
established local organizations such as small-scale fisher-folk
groups and occupational development groups. A number of communities
have together formed a committee to oversee relief activities
and seek support from local organizations and regional and
national networks. These initiatives clearly demonstrate communities'
capacity and their desire to participate in the relief process.
