	Learning Lessons from Disaster Recovery: The Case of Honduras
	Content:	Disaster Risk Management Working Paper Series No. 8 This report summarises the findings of a country case study on Honduras, which is part of a ProVention Consortium initiative aimed at learning lessons from recovery efforts following major natural disasters. The lesson learning review as a whole has analysed the strengths and weaknesses of recovery assistance from governments, donors, and civil society following major natural disasters, with a focus on identifying replicable good practice. The Honduras study was conducted during September and October 2002 following Hurricane Mitch. It comprised a field mission and a community survey. This is the first review of recovery in Honduras that examines all sectors.
