| Abstract title: |
When relief and development programmes meet: a case-study from the Lesotho Red Cross |
| Author: | Dan Sanger and Mike Adamson |
| Issue: | Vol. 7, Number 1 1997 |
The authors describe how late rainfall, and the subsequent drought-recovery Food-For-Work (FFW) programme, undermined a long-term environment-protection project in Lesotho, South Africa. They argue emergency relief should be coordinated to complement disaster-prevention and capacity-building programmes - the FFW programme set a precedent for payment for essential conservation work - and the authors discuss how food distribution can be done as developmentally as possible.
