Summary of publication

Following an earthquake off the coast of South Java, the Yogya-Central Java Community Assistance Program (YCAP) was implemented with a disaster response phase and a development phase. This independent evaluation was conducted at the end of the program.

On 27 May 2006 an earthquake measuring 6.2 on the Richter scale occurred off the coast of South Java and affected the provinces of Yogyakarta (Bantul, Sleman, Gunung Kidul and Kulon Progo districts) and Central Java (Klaten, Magelang, Boyolali and Purwerejo).

The disaster killed 5,722 people, with an estimated 37,927 injured and several hundred thousand people left homeless. On 2 June 2006 the AIPRD Joint Commission approved grant funding for immediate demolition, repair and construction works, and longer-term reconstruction for the Yogyakarta (and Central Java) Reconstruction Program.

The purpose of YCAP was to provide short and medium term assistance to affected communities and implement rehabilitation programs. The program goal was to assist affected families and communities in the project areas to return to normality as quickly as possible.

This is the Independent completion report (ICR) of the program.
