Abstract

This fieldwork report is part of a research aimed at drawing lessons and guidance on ‘how to’ build disaster risk management (DRM) capacity in a range of contexts. The research analyses the characteristics, effectiveness and relative importance of a range of capacity building for DRM interventions across a variety of country contexts. It focuses mainly is on ‘what works and why?’ with a methodology based on a case study approach, involving fieldwork in Ethiopia, Pakistan, Myanmar, Philippines, Haiti and Mozambique.

This report provides background on the disaster risk management context of Haiti, the country’s current capacity levels and analyses in depth several DRM capacity building programmes recently operational in the country. It also features a series of ‘lessons learned’ from Haiti and compares findings with emerging findings from other countries.
