BFD has devised a coherent implementation strategy in order to ensure that the recovery of community infrastructure starts as early as possible and meets the immediate, medium, and longer-term needs of the affected community. Once the identification and prioritization of community infrastructure schemes have been undertaken by BFD, the task of designing straightforward engineering solutions, and undergoing any relevant tendering and contracting processes is not complicated and can be readily pursued in accordance with BFD standard procedures. BFD covers schemes, which correspond to different areas or sectors such as water, education, health, and FFA.
The assistance of BFD, funded by the WFP, is not limited to providing food! As an old Chinese saying goes, “It is better to teach one the skill of fishing than to offer him fish” From this standpoint, the Food Assistance for Asset Program (FFA) at BFD provides cash grants to members of the local community to meet the basic food needs of the neediest families as they, in turn, contribute to building and rehabilitating assets, such as building and paving roads, reforming agricultural lands, and rehabilitating (or) expanding schools, as well as health centers.
