MAIN CHALLENGES OF ADAPTING RECOVERY AND RECONSTRUCTION

STRATEGIES TO INCLUDE ENVIRONMENTAL CONSIDERATIONS

Leadership/Buy-In: Lack of on-the-ground information, awareness on the part of responders to

linkages ;lack of realization that environment is a critical component to the recovery process.

Humanitarian sector leadership in and demand for environmental protection work.

Lack of buy in from field teams. Institutional lack of respect for safeguards .

Donors/Resources: Donor agencies looking for outputs rather than quality of work . Finding multi-skill evaluators who can cover environment in addition to the

key sectors covered in the project. Resource limitations - time, money and appropriately skilled personnel.
