Case study: rebuilding after hurricane Mitch, housing reconstruction in Honduras and Nicaragua

The Canadian Red Cross undertook a settlement construction project in collaboration with the United Nations Development Programme (UNDP) in Nicaragua and the International Organization for Migration (IOM) in Honduras. The project was completed in February 2002, enabling its longer-term impact to be assessed and valuable lessons to be drawn for future disaster recovery and reconstruction operations.

This report is based primarily on an independant report produced by Rooftops Canada/Abri International for the Canadian Red Cross in January 2002.
