63,00 €
Drawing on case histories of emergency relief programmes that have successfully promoted development, the book offers guidelines for fashioning assistance programmes designed to counter the effects of both natural and human-caused disasters. The authors argue that relief efforts must support and enhance existing capacities and they present an analytical framework for assessing the characteristics and needs of afflicted communities.Part I Lessons Learned and Guidelines for Program DesignIntroduction to Part I: Thinking Development in a World of Disasters, 1 A Framework for Analyzing Capacities and Vulnerabilities, 2 First Decisions in Programming, The Decision to Intervene, North-Sou th Partnerships in Disaster Relief, 3 The Context of Programming, The Political Con text, The international Policy Context, Information Is Power or Who Needs to Know What?, 4 Dimensions of Programming, The Myth of Speed, Scale of Program, Duration of Programming, 5 People and Programming, Project Participants, Women and Gender Considerations, The Uprooted: Refugees as a Special Case? 6 Approaches to Programming, Personnel (When a Northern NGO In terveiies), Expertise, Education and Training, 7 Cooperation and Accountability in Programming, Coordination with Other Agencies, Monitoring and Evaluation, 8 Closing the Gap Between Principles, Policies, and PracticePart I1IRDP Case HistoriesIntroduction to Part 11: Background and Development ofIRDP Case Histories9 Wollo Rehabilitation and Disaster Prevention Projects:Wollo, Ethiopia, 10 Ethiopia Emergency Program: Yifat na Timugo, Ethiopia, 11 Proyecto Nueva Vida Armero: Armero, Colombia, 12 Cereal Banks in Burkiqa Faso: Food Security, Drought, and Development, 13 Kordofan Agroforestry Extension Project: Northern Kordofan, Sudan 14 Earthquake Housing Reconstruction and Rural Development: Joyabaj, Quiche, Guatemala, 15 Local Resource Management Project: Santo Domingo, Albay, Bicol Region, Philippines, 16 Qala en Nahal Refugee Settlement Project: Eastern Sudan, 17 Nomad Program: T i Aicha, Mali, 18 Promotion of Health Care Among Khmer Refugees: Greenhill Site B, Surin, Thailand, 19 Northeast Thailand Project: Surin, Thailand, Appendix A: Annotated List ofAdditiona1IRDP Case Histories, Appendix B: Bibliography
