Action by Churches Together (ACT)
Appeal - Peru
Assistance to Flood Afflicted - LAPE11
Appeal Target: US$ 197,906
Geneva, 21 June 2001


>From mid-February until April this year there were intense rains in the
highlands of Puno in the southern region of Peru. The waters of Lake
Titicaca rose to an extraordinary level destroying crops and washing away
entire villages. Nearly ten thousand families have been affected, forced
to abandon their homes and losing their crops, livestock, homes and
equipment.

Due to the loss of livelihood through the destruction of crops there is an
acute food shortage.  Food prices have consequently rocketed sky-high,
well beyond the means of the average peasant who normally lives from
hand-to-mouth, barely eking out a living from the bare and desolate
landscape.  The nutritional status of children is declining dramatically
due to the lack of available food.  As the harvests have been completely
wiped out, there will be no locally grown food in the region until April
next year.

The ACT members in Perú are proposing to help the most vulnerable families
affected by the food shortage caused by the floods and to increase their
capacity to deal with future emergencies. The activities will be
implemented through PREDES and KAIROS, who will develop the following
activities:

   Food distribution 
   Provision of seeds and tools for agriculture  activities 
   Training in disaster preparedness


Project Completion Date:  30 September 2001

IMPLEMENTING ACT MEMBER & PARTNER INFORMATION

Center for the Study and Prevention of Disasters (PREDES)

PREDES is a member of the ACT network and currently carries out the role
of group co-ordinator in Peru.  PREDES is a Peruvian NGO that has worked
since 1983 helping vulnerable communities, many of which have been
affected by floods, droughts, mudslides, and earthquakes - these tend to
be the most destructive disasters in Peru.

PREDES is a humanitarian organization which specializes in, and dedicates
itself towards providing support to overcome risk and disaster situations.  
It carries out educational programs and provides technical advice,
accompaniment and material aid to victims.  In order to do so, it
collaborates with local organizations such as municipal authorities,
ecumenical groups, churches, and NGOs.  PREDES was an ACT implementing
partner during "El niño" emergency.


KAIROS

Kairos is an organization that belongs to the Ecumenical Net of Solidarity
and Development - a coalition of institutions and organizations that
co-operate and work together to solve social and development issues.



DESCRIPTION of the EMERGENCY SITUATION

Background:

Puno is an administrative territorial unit within Peru, located in the
southern highland zone.  Puno skirts Lake Titicaca and shares a common
border with Bolivia.

Much of this region is located between 3,900 and 5,000 meters above sea
level. Approximately 25% of the territory in northern Puno, however,
consists of mountainous jungle.  The territory is crossed by two stretches
of the Andes Chain of Mountains, leaving in-between a flat, high region
with a lake.  The lake is fed by four rivers, which bring water from
glaciers in the mountains.

Puno's climate varies between cold and very cold.  There are heavy rains
between October and March, which lead poor peasants to cultivate resistant
products like potatoes, quinua, and tarwi.  Due to factors of extreme
altitude, most of the land is used only as pasture for livestock.

Peasants welcome the rains, since they have a long history of severe
droughts which are typical in this region.  The rains give life to the
land turning the hills and meadows green and replenishing water supplies
as well as adding to the glaciers and rivers.  The greenness lasts until
the beginning of May and coincides with the harvests.  Afterwards, the
rains become scarce, the sun beats down and burns the plants, and the
landscape turns yellowish - the result of early morning frosts.  Low
temperatures become more and more common.

The difficult climactic conditions and the scarceness of exploitable
natural resources make peasant life in this region extremely hard.


Current situation

There have been intense, almost incessant rains in this region since the
middle of February.  These have produced floods in the plains, rivers have
broken their banks and the water level in Lake Titicaca has risen
extraordinarily high, washing away villages near the shore along with
cultivable land, animals and crops.  Services and infrastructure have also
been severely affected.


Repercussions for human life

As a result of the flooding, nearly ten thousand families have been
affected in some way or another, losing their crops, their livestock,
their homes and all their equipment.  The population had to abandon the
flooded areas either to live in tents or in improvised emergency shelters
made from salvaged materials.  Many have since returned to their flooded
homes but the most vulnerable are still in a critical situation - most
having lost the modest investments they made in crops and livestock, which
would have sustained the families until the following harvest.  The cold,
combined with the waterlogged/humid environment and damp clothing
automatically leads to bronchial and respiratory illnesses.  Such
conditions are also conducive to gastrointestinal and skin diseases.  
Potable water sources have been lost making the risk of diseases that much
greater.

Due to the loss of livelihood through the destruction of crops there is an
acute food shortage.  Food prices have consequently rocketed sky-high,
well beyond the means of the average peasant who normally lives from
hand-to-mouth, barely eking out a living from the bare and desolate
landscape.  The nutritional status of children is declining dramatically
due to the lack of available food.  As the harvests have been completely
wiped out, there will be no locally grown food in the region until April
next year.

This disaster also occurred within the context of a grave economic crisis
which began in Peru in October, 1998, and which still continues.  It has
left millions of people without work, leading them to leave urban areas.  
Due to the economic recession, the consumer capacity of workers has
dropped substantially.  Banks no longer provide credit for businesses and
have serious difficulties recouping previous loans.

Nevertheless, peasants affected by the floods in Puno are not recipients
of credit from any bank, since they engage in subsistence agriculture and
sell only a small surplus of their harvest.  Their small herds serve as
capital which they can fall back upon in order to withstand extraordinary
expenses or emergencies


Emergency Response

Local municipal authorities along with some international NGOs have
assisted families affected by the flooding during the crisis phase. The
following Government authorities assisted the most urgent needs in the
zone:

The Regional Administration Transitory Council (CTAR-Puno) presides over
the Regional Emergency Operations Committee.

The National Alimentary Program (PRONAA) distributes food.

The Civil Defense has distributed tents for provisional housing, as well
as blankets.

The Ministry of Health is drawing up a plan to distribute medicines and
water purifying materials to existing health establishments.

The Ministry of Agriculture is carrying out a detailed evaluation of
damages to crops and livestock.



Once the crisis period was over these institutions left the area.  
However, the needs of the post crisis phase are even more pressing as it
concerns the means of subsistence of a population that normally has to
fight to make ends meet.

During the emergency KAIROS, in coordination with a committee of pastors
from Puno, made a needs assessment in the affected areas.  An Ecumenical
Network for the emergency was created. They were providing assistance to
the affected population during the emergency with food collected within
their congregations. They have been providing pastoral care and assistance
through the churches in the region.

PREDES, collaborating with the Andean Regional Office of the Lutheran
World Relief, sent a team to the zone in order to evaluate damages and
needs.  PREDES maintains relations and contact with the emergency command
unit, the local governments, and the NGOs and thus continues to monitor
the development of the emergency.  The report by PREDES is on the
following website: www.predes.org.pe.  As PREDES participates in a
committee of NGOs which co-ordinates aid efforts in the affected zone,
local authorities have requested PREDES assistance in the process of
emergency management and reconstruction. PREDES also carried out a
workshop for the local communities, social organizations and local
authorities on the transition from the emergency to the reconstruction
activities.

Due to the lack of assistance during the post-crisis phase, the ACT
members of Peru has decided to participate providing complementary support
to the initiatives that are already in the region as follows:

OXFAM UK is intervening with a public health emergency program in the
districts of Coata, Ilave, and Pilcuyo.  This program will clean and
restore flooded wells and will provide safe water.

Caritas is collaborating with the Catholic Relief Service providing
blankets and shelter.

Doctors without Borders distributes limited supplies of chlorine
dispensers for water.

ADRA is active in the region of Pilcuyo, where it is helping with the
organization of victims in shelters, water treatment, and the construction
of latrines.

Care has donated fuel and water containers.

The Board to Coordinate the Fight Against Poverty in Puno (which unites
public authorities with civil society to carry out poverty alleviation
projects), has decided to intervene in the emergency. Currently headed by
Caritas Puno, it will facilitate collaboration on disaster relief
projects.  It recently held an inter-institutional collaboration workshop
to address the emergency in Puno.

In a similar vein, but aimed at helping the reconstruction and
rehabilitation process, the Aymara Board for Reconstruction has been
formed in the province of Collao.  This group joins mayors, public
organizations and leaders of peasant communities to reach agreements
regarding ways to relocate populations situated in high risk flood areas.

Local NGOs working on development topics are increasingly interested in
supporting the recovery of affected populations.  With this goal in mind,
they are developing small support projects.

These locations have been selected because the emergency situation is more
complex in nature there. The flooding has not only harmed agriculture and
livestock production in these locations, but has also damaged housing,
basic services, schools and roads, among other things.  Populations in
these areas are currently isolated by the floods.

There are already some institutions at work at these locations.  For
example, Oxfam GB is currently in Coata, but is only working on water
treatment and recovery of wells.  ADRA-OFASA is working on shelters,
sanitation, and housing in the district of Pilcuyo and Ilave.  In the
areas where Oxfam and ADRA are already at work, the Project will supply
the population with relief and assistance which these organizations do not
provide.  In the zones where these institutions are not present, the
Project will provide all the forms of material assistance included in this
proposal.  Workers will collaborate at all times with the Regional
Emergency Operations Command, and with the organizations at work.  In this
way, the Project will complement their actions and provide greater benefit
to victims.


Current safety situation

Currently, the rains have stopped and the lakes have reduced to their
normal levels.  Although the principle roads are still unstable the
highway around the lake continues to function, as does the railroad that
links the capitals of affected provinces, such as Ilave, Puno, Juliaca,
and Huancané.

The relief items will be transported via truck from the cities of Juliaca
and Puno to Huancan in the north and to Ilave and Pilcuyo in the south.



GOALS & OBJECTIVES

Goal: to ensure the survival of the most vulnerable families severely
affected by the food shortage caused by the floods and to increase their
capacity to deal with future emergencies.



Objectives:

Provision of supplementary food that will assure the minimum nutrition
requirements for the most vulnerable families affected by the food
shortages.

Provision of forage and seeds that will permit the survival of livestock
and assure the recuperation of the economic and agricultural cycle.

Provision of tools to assist the communities in restarting their
livelihood.

Training of affected and at risk populations about emergency prevention
and preparation measures.



TARGETTED BENEFICIARIES

The beneficiaries will be 2,000 poor peasant families from the localities
of Huancan, Atuncolla, Paucarcolla, Capachica, Huata, Coata, Ilave, and
Pilcuyo.

Help will be administered to 2,000 poor families.  The types of needs to
be addressed are:

   Food preparation kits
   Planting materials for crops (seeds)
   Forage for livestock
   Tools


Criteria for the selection of beneficiaries:

The most vulnerable families still suffering the aftermath of the floods
and acutely affected by the current food shortage (findings of the Kairos
needs assessment).  Families not possessing sufficient material means to
confront the situation and recover efficiently.  Furthermore, these
families should not have received similar aid from other institutions.

Inter institutional commissions will be formed (people from ongoing
projects, local authorities, the Evangelic Commission and social
organisations) to select the beneficiaries.  Priority will be given to the
most vulnerable groups.

Description of implementation:

PREDES will attend to the most urgent material needs generated by the
disaster.

PREDES will focus on rebuilding and reinforcing social relations and
family networks, which will facilitate the return to productive work
activities.

Meetings will be organised between leaders of peasant organizations,
women's groups, and district and provincial authorities in order to
evaluate the current situation, its impact, and the possible ways of
attending to various needs.  Together, an action plan will be established
for reconstruction.


Material Needs

Material aid will be distributed based on needs assessment. 


Social, economic and family-based needs

Agreements and partnerships will be established between the victims, the
municipal authorities, churches and other institutions.

Workshops will be conducted for the affected families in order to help
them work through their experience, and generate recovery plans.

PREDES will advocate the strengthening of institutions, as well as
cooperation between institutions.

PREDES will accompany victims in the healing and recovery process.


Aid will be distributed in accordance with the principles espoused in the
Humanitarian Charter and the Code of Conduct for Disasters, which are used
by the International Red Cross, the International Red Crescent, and NGOs.

The project will take into account the minimum standards for humanitarian
response in cases of disasters, as established by the Sphere Project.



Distribution of aid

Aid will be distributed directly to those in need by project workers, with
both the support of social organizations and the logistical backing of
local municipal authorities.



Assistance will include:

Food

Family packets (sufficient for 5 persons - ca 48 kg per family) will be
distributed.  These packs are estimated to provide 1,800 Kg/cal/person for
a month and will comprise:  cereals, legumes, oil, flour, sugar and salt.


Tools

Each family will receive a packet of tools, including a pickax, a miner's
pick, a pick, a hammer and a saw.  This will help peasants in rebuilding
their homes and preparing the land for the next planting.


Seeds

Since potatoes have traditionally served as a staple crop in the area, 30
kg of potato seeds will be distributed to each family.  Potatoes are
normally dried by peasants and stored in this form and then consumed
during the months in which there is no harvest.  The provision of seeds
will take place in August and September.


Forage

50 kg of forage will be distributed to each family to attend to the needs
of their livestock.


Workshops

PREDES will run three workshops with local authorities and communities, to
help them not only process the experience they have lived through, but
also draw lessons for the future.  This will enable them to take
preventive measures, minimizing the risk of future damage.

Book keeping will be carried out in Lima, and will include payroll and all
documentation.

Every month, the bookkeeper will send a projection of expenses to
budgetary control.



Budgetary control

This will be carried out at three different levels - first, the
coordinator will complete daily projections of project expenses.  Second,
a monthly projection of costs will be issued by the Accounts Department
which will be reviewed and used as a basis for follow up by the
coordinator.  Lastly, there will be a monthly meeting of the executive
board with the administration and the Project Co-ordinator.


Financial reports

These will be drafted by the accounts office.  They will be reviewed by
the Project Co-ordinator and the executive board, prior to being mailed to

It will verify that purchases are carried out in accordance with the
criteria approved in the project budget.

The central administration, in cooperation with the executive board and
the Project Co-ordinator will periodically send a person to visit the
zones where the project is being implemented.  This person will carry out
an inventory, verifying that purchased materials reached the storehouse,
left the storehouse and were delivered to victims.




IMPLEMENTATION TIMETABLE

The Project will last three months after the receipt of funds.




CO-ORDINATION

PREDES will co-ordinate with the Regional Emergency Operations Committee
of Puno, and with public and private organizations which intervene in the
zone. It will continue to co-operate with local authorities to carry out
the project, establishing necessary agreements in order to reach the
goals.

The ACT Committee in Peru will remain informed of the progress of the
Project, of the approval and receipt of funds, of the general action plan,
and of the advances and results.  They will also receive a copy of the
final report.

The ACT committee will follow the implementation of the Project, as it
considers the project to be an operation by ACT in Peru.  The ACT
committee will make a field visit to the zones of the Project to verify
the advances and results.

Continuous contact will be kept with the Committee of Pastors of local
churches in order to gather information from them regarding the situation
of flood victims, and the actions that need to be taken.

Action by Churches Together (ACT) is a worldwide alliance of churches and
their related agencies, meeting human need through co-ordinated emergency
