CARE’s immediate and long-term response will be identified by three stages: Relief, transition and rehabilitation. Throughout each of these stages, we will support the most vulnerable communities both in Port-au-Prince and areas outside of the capital where people are relocating. In addition, CARE will ensure that the needs of the most vulnerable survivors – women and children – are taken into full account.
Phase I: Relief (January 12 – April 2010)
During our relief phase, we are concentrating on the immediate needs of the millions of people affected by the disaster by helping them access clean water, nutritious food and emergency supplies. This first phase was expected to reach 60,000 survivors in the first three months, but we've already reached more than four times that many people – 241,000. With this in mind, we are reviewing our short-term and long-term strategies with regard to locations, beneficiaries, sectors and partners.
Phase II: Transition (March 2010 – January 2011)
During this phase, CARE will add activities to strengthen health programming, provide economic opportunities, help people with temporary or transitional shelter, distribute school kits and furniture and raise awareness around prevention of gender-based violence.
Phase III: Rehabilitation (January 2011 – 2015)
During these years, CARE will address communities' long-term issues such as earthquake-resistant construction and preparedness, rehabilitation of water systems, and reconstructing schools and health systems.
In order to carry out this five-year programme, CARE International has launched a $40 million appeal.
