| This case
study highlights how the distribution of agricultural inputs and
the construction of small-scale infrastructure priorities helped
improve agricultural productivity and livelihood incomes in six
villages of Tha Leik Gyi village tract in Pyapon district,
Ayeyarwady Delta. It also features how the ASEAN Volunteers’
involvement fostered a shared sense of responsibility among the
communities.

| Between
August and November 2008, a Community Based Early Recovery
(CBER) pilot project was implemented in Seik Gyi village,
Kungyangon Township, with the aim of restoring livelihoods and
rebuilding damaged infrastructure. Specifically, the project
activities included i) replacing destroyed boats and restarting
betel leaf cultivation, the principal source of livelihoods
income prior to Cyclone Nargis, and ii) building toilets and
repairing the monastery and village wells. The project
capitalised on active community participation and the concept of
building back better.

Terrible
tragedy has a way of bringing people closer together.
Those whose lives have been destroyed by Cyclone Nargis cling to
each other for comfort; sharing their suffering, their food,
their water and helping each other slowly rebuild their homes
and businesses.

swollen stream at a village outside Pyapon in the cyclone Nargis
ravaged Irrawaddy Delta, a man searches through the grass, his
dog by his side. Once, not that long ago, he would have trawled
for fish; now his dog sniffs out water field rodents.

A trip to the
