• The Livelihood Restoration Program should be able to support the PAPs to gain similar or even better livelihood condition.

• The Livelihood Restoration Program should focus on the characteristics of the vulnerability context and potential sources of livelihood assets owned by each PAP’s.

• Involving both of the PAPs and representatives of communities;

• The program may need to cooperate with related local government institution, consultant experts, local university, or local NGO who has competency and experiences in facilitating and supervising the community development and livelihood restoration program.
