Summary
In December 2002 a Project Idea was launched by the Ministry of Environment and Spatial Planning (MESP) to have a joint program for the benefit of IDP’s in the Decan and Skenderaj regions. During our visit in Garibaldi camp we found out that there were still 33 families living there. Out of these 7 of them got houses from the NGO Cordaid, 3 of them didn’t have plots (so they need to move into a social house) and for the remaining 26 families, they had plots but they had no means to build their houses. SDC already had a fond of 200’000 Euros allocated for social housing in Decan and Skenderaj for the joint program with the MESP and the above mentioned relevant Municipalities. We made a request and obtained a credit of 500’000 CHF from Bern. A request from Bern was the closing of the TCS. Goals, Beneficiaries: The goal of the project is to reduce the number of vulnerable people living in TCS or in any other difficult conditions; one of the priorities being closing the TCS. Approach: The project consists in building 26 new houses, category V. The work has been done by Contractors. On the same time we have started the joint program so-called Social Housing with MESP, Municipality, and SDC.
