Deliverables:
The repair of houses in Lilongwe damaged by floods during the 2011 rainy season.
Scale:This is a small-scale, local response to a problem arising as a result of heavy rains.
Impact:The project has had an impact on Government policy in the sense that the urban poor have an increasing position in the annual roll out of plots.
Finance: SDI Contributions:SDI contributed uS$3,000.00
Costs recovered from community:The Federation was unable to implement the revolving fund process when the project started and thus labour charge for builders was not repaid.
