Implementation period: December 2006 - August 2007
Implementing agency: International Organization for Migration (IOM) and
Cooperative Housing Foundation (CHF )
Partner agency: World Bank
Area of work: earthquake affected Central Java and Yogyakarta
The projects aimed to provide safe and durable transitional housing to eligible
earthquake-affected families while permanent houses are rebuilt; thereby promoting
early resumption of household activities. The project was completed and closed after the transitional
housing needs had successfully been met.
Result achieved:
-
Over 95% of beneficiary households felt that temporary housing enabled them to resume their
normal household activities (e.g. children can study; family members can conduct economic activities
at home; protection from rain and adverse weather conditions).
-
A total of 4,434 families received and constructed transitional houses; IOM provided 1,586 and CHF
provided 2,848 transitional houses that conformed to the pre-agreed specifications.
-
Beneficiary satisfaction with constructed temporary housing was very high: 92-97% for men and 94-
100% for women in Yogyakarta and Central Java.
-
57% of beneficiaries continue to use t-shelters as an extension of their newly built permanent houses
or other facilities such as kitchen, warehouse, mini-store and animal stalls. 17% of beneficiaries
utilized components/materials of their t-shelter when constructing their permanent houses.
