Relief refers to efforts to address short term (though urgent) problems. Development is generally more of a long-term effort. Development projects include building and water projects. Some mistakenly believe that the D stands for Disaster, but while ADRA does respond to disasters, most of ADRA's programing is aimed at long term development projects designed to help populations improve their lives over the long term.
