Three and a half years on from the devastating December 2004 tsunami, millions of people living around the Indian Ocean to take real strides along the road to recovery.
The International Federation’s Tsunami three-year progress report captures the collective efforts of 39 Red Cross and Red Crescent societies, with support from the International Federation secretariat, to help tsunami-affected communities recover and rebuild their lives.
Red Cross and Red Crescent relief and recovery efforts have reached more than 3.8 million people in ten affected countries. More than 21,300 houses have been built, and a further 18,098 are under construction. Tens of thousands of families have received support rebuild their livelihoods, and hundreds of thousands have access to clean water and effective health services. |

This is the fourth International Federation-wide tsunami progress report, with the first report published in December 2006, second in June 2007 and third in December 2007. The current report only looks at achievements in the five countries worst affected by the tsunami (Indonesia, Sri Lanka, the Maldives, Thailand and India) whereas the December report captured progress made in all eight countries that were affected by the tsunami. The indicator data and narrative are biased towards the three worst affected countries (Indonesia, Sri Lanka and the Maldives) and to a lesser extent, Thailand. |

| Note: Secretariat refers to the coordinating entity which represents
the International Federation’s members. In the tsunami
recovery operation – like in many other operations
– the Secretariat also performs an operational role.
For the purpose of global reporting, the Secretariat must
report income, expenditure and the programme results of
its operations in the field. The figures for income received
represent the contributions of many member National Societies
and other public and private donors to the Secretariat’s
tsunami appeal. |
