Project Description
At 5:53 a.m. local time on May 27 2006 an earthquake of magnitude 6.2 hit the Indonesian island of Java. The epicentre of the earthquake was 37 kilometres south of the city of Yogyakarta and affected eight districts in the province of Yogyakarta and in the neighbouring province of Central Java. This project provides assistance in a coordinated fashion to earthquake-affected peoples in Central Java and Yogyakarta provinces through the reconstruction of housing and the provision of livelihood activities. The focus on these activities is consistent with the Government of Indonesia's Recovery Plan.

Results achieved as of the end of the project (December 2013) include: Under the housing component 6 923 transitional shelters were built; 15 153 permanent houses were constructed; and over 5 000 community infrastructure projects were implemented to rehabilitate roads bridges water supply and sanitation facilities. 14 537 men (96%) and 14 244 women (94%) considered that the permanent houses they received through the project were safe and met their needs. Under the livelihoods component 16 363 micobusinesses and small and medium-sized enterprises were assisted through loans and asset replacement packages and 88% of sampled beneficiaries reported that their income had recovered to pre-earthquake levels.
