- Description
- This chapter discusses a partnership-based community engagement framework for post-disaster recovery. After the 2004 flood in Bangladesh, the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) with its partners implemented a programme of emergency response and community-based economic and family shelter recovery. It aimed to ensure that beneficiaries would be less vulnerable to future floods, due to improved community infrastructure and housing. While the programme demonstrated a level of effectiveness, various challenges were also evident. Nonetheless, instances of adoption of some of the ideas of the programme and long-term improvement of economic and living conditions of the beneficiaries indicate an overall positive outcome.
