7 Lessons Learnt Need for an integrated approach. Co-ordination with national and international partners. Early intervention in order to make the link between relief and development.
8 Sustainable Relief and Reconstruction - Recovery Development begins at the beginning Bridging the gap between emergency relief and sustainable development With Objectives of Creating appropriate human settlement conditions for facilitating the transition from relief to sustainable development; Strengthening local capacity to accelerate the transition & sustain it in the long run.
9 Towards More Sustainable and Resilient Future Integration of the principles of both sustainability and disaster risk reduction from the earliest stages of recovery promoting culture of prevention. UN-HABITAT has developed a detailed typology and indicators for its interventions in emergency situations, simultaneously taking into account the transition and longerterm recovery
10 Sustainable Relief and Reconstruction Emergency Response Adaptive land-use planning; Immediate economic recovery and restoration of livelihoods.

11 1. Long-term Shelter Strategies Implementation of realistic and permanent reconstruction plans for housing and infrastructure Promoting community confidence through participatory planning and implementation of reconstruction activities Vulnerability reduction HFA; Resilient housing, services, and environment Right to ownership and security of tenure.
12 2. Eco. recovery and restoration of livelihoods Independent and sustainable recovery begins with a home and a job; Utilising local resources for rehabilitation activities both material and human resources; Creating employment and small scale production capital distribution within the communities.
13 3. Land and Property Administration Key elements to address Lack of land policy Dysfunctional LA system Land grabbing/invasions Break down law & order (incl. land-use planning) Over-lapping rights & claims Destruction of houses Ambiguous laws
14 4. Good local governance and inclusiveness Public participation and Inclusive decision-making with all stakeholders Community organisation and civil empowerment; Gender issues; Local Institutional Capacity building; Transformation of the governance practices at the local level during the dynamic post-crisis period
15 5. Vulnerability Reduction / Disaster Mitigation Disasters can act as opportunities - to change the Status Quo; - to build self-reliance of communities; - to strengthen local organisational/institutional capacities; - to demonstrate new ways to network and collaborate enhance political will and inclusiveness; - to introduce new mitigation measures, such as building regulations and techniques, better land-use and planning Vulnerability reduction plans and disaster risk considerations should be integrated more effectively into sustainable development policies, planning and programming at all levels.
16 Inter-Agency Standing Committee (IASC) A unique inter-agency forum for coordination, policy development and decision-making involving the key UN and non-un humanitarian partners, established by UN GA resolutions. Under the leadership of the Emergency Relief Coordinator (ERC), the IASC - develops humanitarian policies - agrees on a clear division of responsibility for the various aspects of humanitarian assistance - identifies and addresses gaps in response - advocates for effective application of humanitarian principles
