The World Bank has given Tuvalu 3 million US dollars for recovery efforts after Cyclone Pam.
Six months after Cyclone Pam hit the Pacific, the bank approved the additional grant to support Tuvalu's medium-term recovery efforts.
Almost half of Tuvalu's 10,000 people were affected by the category 5 cyclone, which caused massive destruction as it passed in March, before continuing southwest to Vanuatu.
The system caused an estimated 10 million dollars worth of damages or more than 30 percent of the country's GDP.
