Are we there yet? Children’s views on Haiyan recovery and the road ahead

One year on from Typhoon Haiyan (local name Yolanda), children who survived the storm have looked back at the help they received and have given mixed reviews. In general, they are pleased with immediate actions taken by local government, and with the aid they received after the disaster, but they know recovery is a long way off and their expectations for life post Haiyan are high. 

This report is based on consultations with 162 children, ages 6 to 17 years. Through child participation, it share's children's experiences and expectations of the future.

Their priorities are long term and they wish for more focus on: livelihoods, shelter, education, access to healthcare and increased participation for children in disaster risk reduction.
