Livelihood recovery for Typhoon Haiyan
Integrated Livelihood Recovery for Super Typhoon Haiyan-affected Communities - Government of Japan
In partnership with the Government of Japan, the International Labour Organization (ILO) responded through local resource-based work, skills training and enterprise development in Super Typhoon Haiyan (Yolanda)-affected areas.
The Government of Japan has contributed US$3,000,000 to the ILO's “Emergency Employment and Sustainable Livelihood Recovery for Typhoon Haiyan” project to assist with rebuilding the livelihoods of people devastated by Typhoon Haiyan. Directly affected were about 5.6 million workers. Of these, 2.6 million were already in vulnerable employment and living at or near the poverty line even before the super typhoon.
The project contribution will support more than 6,740 persons through local resource-based work, skills development, and enterprise development. These beneficiaries are distributed across communities in Leyte (including Tacloban), Northern Cebu, Bohol, Negros Occidental and Coron, Palawan.
