Project designers expected that bene-ciaries would use the rst disbursement orimmediate needssuch as ood, clothing,health care, and construction materials to re-build their homesand the second disburse-

ment or longer-term livelihood support. Butsurprisingly, only a quarter o the benecia-ries ollowed this strategy. Another quarter reserved the rst disbursement or longer-termneeds, such as small business investments orthe purchase o arming implements, and theremainder divided the rst disbursement or

both short- and long-term needs.

ENSURING MINIMUMRElIEF STANDARDS

In recognition of our decades of

experience responding to disas-

ters around the word, Action

Against Hunger has been invited

to hep revise the atest editionof the Sphere Humanitarian Charter

and Minimum Standards in Disaster

Responsemore commony referred

to as the Sphere Handbook.

Used by hundreds of reief orga-

nizations, the Sphere Handbook

provides a comprehensive set of

standards to ensure that bene-

ciaries receive the proper amount

of cean water, adequate nutrition,

safe sheter, and other necessities.

The atest revision of the Sphere

Handbook wi take into account

the issues of cimate change,

risk reduction, and the custer

approacha method of respond-

ing to an emergency that empoys

agencies based on their strengths

and abiities.

Action Against Hunger is honored to

hep improve the Sphere Handbook.

Together with respected organiza-

tions around the word, we arecommitted to the principe that ev-

eryone deserves a ife with dignity.

ACF was on the ground in Nakuru bythe rst week o January 2008, helpingdisplaced populations with immediate

short term needs: essential items likeblankets, pots, cooking utensils, plasticsheeting, soap, wash basins, emininenapkins, buckets, and jerry cans weredistributed. As the population o the twolarge camps in Nakuru swelled, ACFbegan nutritional surveillance and thera-peutic nutrition programs or childrenunder 5 years o age. We also initiatedthe construction o latrines, showerblocks and water point acilities in thecamps as well as soak away drainage andreuse pits. More IDPs continued to ar-rive and the need or hygiene and healtheducation programming grew critical.Tis sot style o program complement-ed the hardware construction phases oour water and sanitation activities.
