As noted in the report, education cluster members identified this project as a priority, following a number of storms and floods that resulted in the
destruction of school infrastructure. IOM was later on requested to take on the project, on behalf of the education cluster. Several funding options were
discussed, after which it was decided to seek CERF support, either through the UFE or RR window (as agencies were discussing the 2011 first UFE round at
about the same time). At that point an initial draft of the project proposal was drawn up, which identified an expected implementation period of 8 months.
The nature of the intervention was later deemed more in line with RR eligibility criteria, and OCHA requested IOM to reduce the implementation period to
3 months, in line with the LoU applicable at the time (though the umbrella LoU increased the timeframe for RR projects to 6 months shortly afterwards).
