Abstract: This paper provides an overview of the first two years of Cordaid’s experience with credit interventions in the reconstruction phase after the tsunami in Indonesia, Sri Lanka and India. These loans were meant for rebuilding post-tsunami livelihoods. The paper aims to contribute to an adequate understanding on the timeliness of credit intervention in the framework of post-disaster livelihood reconstruction. It emphasizes the entry of credit in relation to the enormity or depletion of donor funds, the immensity of the devastation, the level of aid dependency, the readiness of the target borrowers and the availability of other competing loans for the same end.
