Description
The roundtable will address some of the complex issues surrounding the coordination, planning and quality implementation of post disaster reconstruction and recovery interventions. Discussion will explore ways that disaster-affected populations, civil society groups and the private sector engage in risk reduction and recovery processes. Speakers will provide a range of recent examples to establish what is working and what is not in terms of local involvement. The roundtable aims to establish if there is a need for a common multi-stakeholder framework or processes that bring greater clarity to roles and responsibilities during post disaster recovery and reconstruction scenarios. It will also focus on how such a framework would ensure the appropriate participation of different stakeholder groups for the purpose of reducing future disaster risk.
