The transition stage
After the emergency, the transition stage aims to support the efforts of affected populations to rebuild their lives and their livelihoods. The aim of the transition stage is both to make a bridge between the emergency stage and the development stage and to support the community and individuals in the process of reconstruction and rehabilitation.
Following the end of the typhoon Haiyan emergency phase in November 2013 in the Philippines, various reconstruction projects were co-financed by the Ministry in 2014. Fondation Caritas Luxembourg received support for a project the purpose of which was to strengthen poor households and to supply construction materials and training courses in the target communities on the islands of Panay, Negros and Cebu. Another project co-financed by the Ministry was implemented by CARE in Luxemburg on the islands of Panay in order to strengthen food security, improve access to basic supplies and reconstruct means of subsistence of the households made vulnerable by typhoon Haiyan. The NGO Amitiés Luxembourg-Amérique Latine received support for the reconstruction of damaged family houses on the island of Cebu. The Ministry provided co-financing to Action Solidarité Tiers Monde carried out a project the purpose of which was to enable farmers to re-start their agricultural production, help communities to develop sustainable livelihoods and strengthen several local organisations’ level of preparation for catastrophes.
In 2014, Fondation Caritas Luxembourg also received financial support for its rehabilitation and reconstruction programmes in Bangladesh, the Democratic Republic of Congo, Colombia, Lebanon and Afghanistan. The Ministry contributed to four Handicap International Luxembourg projects in Libya, Kenya, Mali and the Occupied Palestinian Territories. In addition, the Ministry co-financed a Luxembourg Red Cross project in Niger. Finally, the Ministry participated in financing a reconstruction project in the Philippines following typhoons Sendong, Quinta and Bopha (Société Kolping), a project for nutritional support and child-friendly areas in Syria (SOS Villages d’Enfants Monde) and a transitional justice programme in Tunisia (Centre International de Justice Transitionnelle).
