| asdfINTRODUCTION |
This work is the product of the establishment of ADER's NGO Information Office in Pondicherry in the aftermath of the December 26th, 2004 Indian Ocean Tsunami. The endeavour was encouraged by the Fondation de France which sought to support a local information platform for French NGOs conducting relief, rehabilitation and reconstruction projects in Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry.
Having witnessed much of the local response to the Tsunami disaster, ADER has become more keenly aware of the primary importance of local organisations and resources in designing effective emergency relief and reconstruction programmes. One of the great privileges of establishing the Information Office has been the opportunity to meet so many individuals and organisations dedicated to the rehabilitation and development of their communities.
The idea for this publication arose while the majority of the post-Tsunami rehabilitation projects in Tamil Nadu and Pondicherry are coming to an end. With local and International NGOs focussing their attention and resources elsewhere, contacts with a significant number of very competent and effective local resources risk being lost.
Indeed, only two years after the largest relief and rehabilitation effort in India's history, newly-arrived donors, NGOs, and researchers are encountering difficulties in identifying and contacting the very same experts, resource persons, local organisations and consultants that were so essential to the successful implementation of post-tsunami rehabilitation and development projects.
This publication can only provide a modest contribution to the necessary organisation and coordination of local civil society organisations and resources. It is our hope, nevertheless, that it will facilitate contacts between international NGOs and the many local organisations and resources with whom we have been in contact since early 2005.
