"Although the majority of the households in Cyclone Nargis-affected areas have returned to their pre-cyclone situation, immediate efforts are still required to address needs in shelter and livelihoods one year after the cyclone, despite progress being made in all sectors.

They cover eight sectors: Livelihoods, Shelter, Education, Health, Water, Sanitation and Hygiene, Disaster Risk Management, Environment, and Protection and Vulnerable Groups. The Periodic Review II once again proves that the aid reaching the cyclone-affected people have helped them build back their lives. However, more efforts are needed in order to ?build back better?, especially in the shelter and livelihoods sectors.

Ninety per cent of the households do not consider their shelter safe from another cyclone. Data from the livelihoods sector show a high unemployment rate among casual labourers of which 90% could be in the agriculture sector. There is also a concern that casual labourers would find fewer jobs with farming families due to the scarcity of capital and farming input in this sector..."
