TS13: World Reconstruction Conference Thematic Session 13: Providing Sustainable Health and Education Services in Disaster Recovery Programs

Description

The objective of the thematic session is to share the lessons of reconstruction efforts across the health and education sectors from selected disaster recovery operations. There will be four key dimensions that gauge the performance of post-disaster experiences including: models of planning processes; implementation arrangements in reconstruction efforts, particularly community driven models (vis à-vis outsourcing or delivering services through existing government departments); examining construction practices (delivery of infrastructure, conventional construction, innovative technologies and community driven practices); and opportunities for improved and sustainable service delivery.
