• In order to stabilize input prices, the government may need to intervene in the ......<br />
input markets in some areas where the input prices have risen exorbitantly.<br />
C.) Support to repair or replace damaged farm machinery, fishing gear <strong>and</strong><br />
livestock barns<br />
• Accelerate the delivery of cash transfers in some areas that have not yet been<br />
distributed.<br />
• Coordinate with vocational schools to mobilize mobile units of mechanics <strong>and</strong> .........<br />
technicians at the local levels in all provinces. These activities should be carried out .<br />
in close cooperation by the provincial administration <strong>and</strong> local governments.<br />
D.) Other livelihoods support<br />
• Create public works or employment programs <strong>for</strong> farmers <strong>and</strong> unemployed<br />
persons. Cash-<strong>for</strong>-work can create employment as well as support agricultural ........<br />
livelihoods, through cooperation with the irrigation <strong>and</strong> social sectors.<br />
The Medium-term <strong>Recovery</strong> <strong>and</strong> Reconstruction Strategy<br />
Though medium-term activities in principle are meant to start after the first six months<br />
of early recovery phase, there is no clear boundary line between the two phases.<br />
Ground works <strong>for</strong> the medium-term activities there<strong>for</strong>e need to start as soon as<br />
possible. The medium-term recovery strategy could be summarized as follows:<br />
A.) Government Cash Compensation<br />
• There is confusion between the loss of income, properties <strong>and</strong> capital. There<strong>for</strong>e, ...<br />
in future, there should be a clear distinction between compensation <strong>for</strong> losses <strong>and</strong> ..<br />
damage. This distinction is necessary <strong>for</strong> the loss of income or the damage of ........<br />
capital or assets. For example, the costs of breeders or hens are higher than that ...<br />
of fingerlings <strong>and</strong> chickens. Necessary policy work, there<strong>for</strong>e, should be carried out .<br />
to review <strong>and</strong> clarify compensation policies.<br />
• There should be a limit on cash compensation <strong>for</strong> affected farmers <strong>for</strong> all damaged .<br />
products <strong>and</strong> inputs. Currently, affected farmers can claim 100 percent compensa-..<br />
tion <strong>for</strong> damaged l<strong>and</strong>s, while there is a maximum limit of compensation <strong>for</strong><br />
livestock, fisheries <strong>and</strong> farm machinery (see Annex 2).<br />
• Streamline the administrative processes <strong>for</strong> compensation application. Currently,<br />
a household that happens to be involved in more than one type of activity is<br />
required to submit several compensation <strong>for</strong>ms to different government line<br />
agencies. Streamlining these procedures into a single <strong>for</strong>m <strong>and</strong> supporting affected .<br />
households by providing in<strong>for</strong>mation about the procedures <strong>and</strong> how to fill the <strong>for</strong>ms .<br />
would help families considerably.<br />
