Documenting And Communicating Results Achieved And Lessons Learnt In The Post 2005-Earthquake Rural Housing Reconstruction Programme

The Earthquake Reconstruction and Rehabilitation Authority (ERRA) of the Government of the Islamic Republic of Pakistan adopted an owner-driven approach for the post earthquake rural housing reconstruction process. Individual families rebuilt their homes assisted by Government grants. It is critical that the program principles, achievements, implementation challenges, and lessons learnt are documented in a manner that can form ready reference materials for similar future post-disaster initiatives.
