Abstract

The primary objective of this report is to bring together the experiences and learnings of a range of actors affected by, and involved in the disaster response in order to identify factors that have influenced both positive and negative outcomes in the course of relief, rehabilitation and recovery. Striking a balance between depth and expanse, the report covers some of the most critical areas, including issues and experiences related to relief and compensation, rehabilitation in the areas of housing and livelihoods, exclusion and vulnerability, community responses, and an assessment of State and civil society responses with a focus on several institutional and process related elements, including autonomy, co-ordination and interface, people’s participation, and transparency and accountability.
