People’s Process in Post-disaster and Post-Conflict Recovery and Reconstruction.

This guideline attempts at presenting the complex process of recovery in a simple and practical manner. We have learned lessons from the past disasters where Governments’, development agencies’ and humanitarian organizations’ responses were not coherent, causing confusion and delays in recovery. Therefore in anticipation of effectively responding to future disasters, with a firm policy and approach, this guideline is published for the use of all interested stakeholders. Additionally, the intention is to launch the recovery programme from the day one following a disaster.
