On 13 January 2001, an earthquake that measured 7.6 on the Richter scale hit El Salvador. These four projects constitute a six-month initial emergency rehabilitation programme scheduled to be implemented during the period February to July 2001. The programme aims to help farmers rebuild their lives and to strengthen the country's disaster prevention and preparedness capacity. The project's objective is to help prevent major crop losses by rehabilitation and repair of damaged irrigation facilities and farm infrastructure. The objective of the project is to support basic agricultural extension services crucial to maximizing the impact of emergency agricultural assistance.
