The document 'Assistance Policy & Implementation Guidelines for Housing & Township Development' by Tafren has been made available to the public. This document has been added to the Recoverlanka data portal. The assistance policy encourages Household-driven housing reconstruction.
Affected families living in areas eligible for construction will be provided phased cash grants and the construction process will be managed by the individual families themselves. This approach will assist the revival of local economies through the expansion of industry and the creation of jobs. The active involvement of re-constructing one's own home also plays an important role in post trauma healing.
In locations where construction is not allowed, the Government will identify land closest to the affected village and provide houses to affected families. As far as possible, the relocation process will attempt to keep communities intact.
