Learning Lessons from Disaster Recovery: The Case of Mozambique

Content:

Disaster Risk Management Working Paper Series No. 12
This report summarises the findings of a country case study on Mozambique, 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. Mozambique offers an example of a post-conflict country faced with major natural disasters. It also offers an example of recovery in an extremely poor and primarily subsistence livelihood population, but in a country favored by donors and receiving substantial amounts of both relief and recovery assistance. The review provides an overview of the recovery processes and highlights livelihoods and agriculture.
