An overall recovery plan may be evolved by incorporating these principles. Such a plan would have
three important components or parts, which you all must be aware of:
The Strategic Plan: In the first part, the rehabilitation project team based on past experience
and available research would draw a broad framework of rehabilitation - the mission, aims and
objectives.
The Local Community Plan: In the second part, the project team would actively consult the
community, as well as the local government so that implementing strategies are culturally and
environmentally compliant, acceptable to the targeted community and within the framework and
guidelines laid down by the local government.
The Action Plan: In the third part, the project team would devise specific action plans for
various components of the project, which are primarily based on local needs and existing
capacities.
Role of Rehabilitation/Recovery Project Team is to:
Facilitate reconstruction process
Encourage participation
Provide suitable training
Motivate participants
Maintain professional standards
Enhance community knowledge
Ensure transparency
