Through the Programme, IDPs and affected families have been able to obtain a
daily income to meet basic household needs. Many families were also able to save
part of their wages and some alumni of the programme have reopened their businesses,
such as small kiosks or coffee shops, out of their savings.
In addition to injecting immediate cash into communities with essentially no income
after the tsunami, the Programme has rehabilitated key public facilities such
as roads, bridges, drainage, hospitals, schools, universities and central markets. The
Programme has also cleared agricultural land, salt ponds, fish ponds and shrimp
ponds, allowing farmers and fishers to return to work. These activities have had a
community-wide impact, as they have allowed the resumption of economic activities.
For instance, the district of Pidie, two hours drive from Banda Aceh, was a major
salt producer and agricultural products supplier in Aceh prior to the tsunami. The
tsunami totally destroyed the district’s salt industry and it has taken months to rehabilitate
and prepare the salt ponds in order to resume operations. The Alisei, the
programme cleaned 50 hectares of salt ponds. After the cleaning, the rehabilitation
of the salt ponds was continued with collaborative work from other organizations
that provided kitchen and cooking utensils for the ponds. Today, all of the salt
farmers in Pidie have restarted their work.
