Final Report: DREF Review & Lessons Learnt

On 27 and 28 January 2013, the Seychelles were hit by Tropical Depression Feleng causing devastating damage and flooding. Approximately 1,000 families were affected, with 246 families displaced. An allocation from IFRC’s DREF was made on 7 February for CHF 106,551 to assist 165 families with non-food items, as well as a larger target group of 600 families with health and hygiene promotion messages, accompanied by the distribution of mosquito nets as requested by the Ministry of Health. An end of operation review was carried out by IFRC in June 2013 to examine if the DREF operation achieved its planned goals and outcomes, to assess outputs against the plan of action, and to capture and disseminate lessons learnt to improve future planning and response.
