Reconstruction Post-tsunami
The French Government had entrusted AFD with the implementation of financing (very soft loans) for the reconstruction of countries affected by the December 26th 2004 tsunami, Indonesia and Sri Lanka being targeted as priority areas. Operations include the reconstruction of infrastructure, public facilities in water, sanitation and health sectors as well as housing.
Banda Aceh urban drainage project
In Indonesia, AFD has allocated a 36.8 million euro highly-concessional loan to the Government to finance the rehabilitation of the urban drainage system in Banda Aceh.
The project aims at the thorough rehabilitation (up to 150 km of channels, pumping stations, retarding basins) of the primary and secondary drainage infrastructure in five hydrographical zones, covering 80 % of the urban area. It will reduce the floods which strike the city after every raining event (23.000 people are currently affected by this phenomenon).
