JAKARTA: Assistant Secretary-General of the United Nations
Hafiz Pasha is scheduled to visit the tsunami-stricken province
of Nanggroe Aceh Darussalam on Feb. 25.

Pasha, who is director of the regional bureau of the United
Nations Development Programme (UNDP), also plans to visit other
countries affected by the Dec. 26 tsunami in the next two weeks,
including Sri Lanka, the Maldives and Thailand.

Pasha said in a press release on Friday that UNDP would make
efforts to help in the transition from emergency to
reconstruction and rehabilitation in Aceh.

He added that the seven-week period after the catastrophe
would be a good time to start making a "to do" list for the next
development plan in the province. --Antara
