This handbook deals with how to reconstruct housing and communities in large-scale post-disaster situations like Haiti, where there are often conflicting demands, especially between short-term relief and long-term reconstruction and recovery. The handbook emphasises the importance of owner/occupier-led reconstruction, and makes a case that effective reconstruction occurs only after policy makers have established the framework for reconstruction in consultation with local communities and stakeholders. It has been developed on behalf of the Global Facility for Disaster Reduction and Recovery to assist World Bank staff, as well as the Bank’s government counterparts, engaged in large-scale post-disaster housing reconstruction programs. Others working in the housing and community reconstruction field will benefit from the information in the handbook, especially those collaborating with government and the World Bank in post-disaster reconstruction.
