Cash for Work is part of the UNDP's rapid disaster relief programme of USD 1.4 million which supports recovery. Funding comes from the UN Central Emergency Response Fund, and UNDP.
The first stage ran for 25 days, and involved 300 villagers who were hired to clear debris from quake-stricken homes and schools. They also worked on community improvement projects such as road repair.
The second phase kicks off in January and it will be much bigger, involving at least 3,200 villagers – of which 40 percent are women -- in several districts. It'll run for three months.
