| Résumé: | BRAC Sri Lanka started rehabilitation and livelihood support programme for the tsunami-affected
people about 6 months after the disaster. Though the programme components include
a range of rehabilitation and livelihood supports, this study focused only on the grant and loan
receivers. The study finds some evidences of effective targeting by the programme. There is
also evidence of programme impact on the beneficiaries' income and assets. Length or
participation in the programme has positive associations with the income and assets of the
beneficiaries. However, the associations arc more obvious tor the grant receivers than the loan
receivers. The loan programmes were initiated at a later stage once the 'grant phase' was over.
Since it usually takes a few loan cycles to show a clear impact on income and assets. the proper
assessment of borrowing should wait tor two more years. BRAC's loan programme in Sri
Lanka seems to have a very good prospect of flourishing further. |
