Post-Earthquake Recovery in Haiti: The Challenges Ahead

Post-Earthquake Recovery in Haiti: The Challenges Ahead
The Foundation for Development Cooperation is proud to present the second issue of its occasional paper series: FDC Nai Sema - Post-Earthquake Recovery in Haiti:
The Challenges Ahead.
Nai Sema means “to connect” in the Fijian language. Through this occasional paper series, FDC aims to promote an exchange of ideas amongst those working in international development and cooperation and to generate discussion on the topics presented within.
FDC is an independent, not-for-profit international development organisation. Through alliances and partnerships, FDC undertakes a range of initiatives which seek to improve the lives of poor people in developing countries.
The improvement of emergency response and recovery strategies is a key international development priority in a world that faces the challenge of addressing large-scale disasters, particularly in poor and impoverished regions. Such events require reflection on prior practice and proactive forward planning in order to effectively address short and long term needs and unanticipated exigencies. Knowledge sharing is a significant component of disaster risk management and FDC seeks to make a meaningful contribution to international understanding through the second edition of FDC Nai Sema which explores the practical issues of this critical field within the context of the recent Haiti earthquake and prior events which prompted international cooperation.
I hope that the ideas that are contained in this paper about disaster risk management issues will assist practitioners in emergency and disaster services, aid donors and providers, as well as researchers and policy makers.
