Building back better: good practice guidance for the private sector in recovery activities

This short document draws on development good practice and experience, both from Myanmar as well as internationally, to share ways in which the private sector can use its investments to strengthen recovery activities.

The private sector has already played an important role in relief for the flood affected townships and will play a still greater role during recovery, supporting the re-establishment of homes, facilities, livelihoods and services. With this comes the opportunity to “build back better” – making activities more inclusive and better adapted for Myanmar’s future, making infrastructure more disaster resilient, and promoting approaches to re-establish livelihoods and independence that can better protect Myanmar’s people.
