Learnings from
Tsunami:
CEE and Oxfam
America
are working in collaboration to compile learning from organizations
involved in tsunami rehabilitation in four countries—India,
Indonesia, Maldives and Sri Lanka. The uniqueness of this study is
that youth from these countries have been involved in documenting
rehabilitation initiatives. The outcome from this research and
documentation is to develop two documents, an Analytical Report and
a Learning from Tsunami: Case Studies. The former would be used by
the disaster management professionals and the later would be
expected to be used by youth who may or may not be interested in
disaster management but would like to get information on initiatives
that are undertaken during disasters by individuals and
organisations.
In order to
finalize the document a Country Document Finalisation meeting was
organized at CEE where representatives from Maldives, India and Sri
Lanka presented their findings. The Indonesia country document was
presented by the LfT Secretariat. An Expert Consultation meeting
where professionals in the field of Disaster management from various
organizations from India like Unnati, Abhiyaan, Tata Institute of
Social Sciences (TISS) and CEE provided their feedback on the case
studies in general and also about the documents. Their comments and
suggestions were taken into consideration and a Plan of Action was
worked out for all the countries. Experts have been hired to
finalise the documents.
