Mid-year review: post tsunami recovery and reconstruction

The Reconstruction and Development Agency (RADA) was established in November 2005. RADA is the result of His Excellency President Rajapakse’s vision to create a single government agency to focus on reconstruction and development issues across all sectors and stakeholders in affected areas. As a result of a combined effort of the government, local authorities and its development partners, during the past six months, the recovery process is showing a positive trend and aims to build back better.
